5. THE CABLE ASSEMBLY
THE VITAL COMPONENT
Every Superchute
®
chute section is equipped with two strong, lightweight cable assemblies that
are used to link one chute section to the next.
The cable assembly pair is the vital component of a chute section. Each pair supports the
weight of the chute sections beneath. Therefore, the uppermost pairs on a suspended chute
support more weight than cable assembly pairs located lower down on the chute.
Consequently, if your chute will mix Superchute
®
sections with older and newer cable
assemblies, plan to put the sections with the older cable assemblies at the base of the chute.
This action will put the stronger cable assemblies at the top of the chute, where they are most
needed.
