preventing twists.
Figure 3 Prevent Twisting the Cable By Laying Cable in a Figure 8 Pattern
1. Lay cable on floor in a figure 8 pattern.
2. Turn Figure 8 cable 360 degrees (upside down) before continuing.
3. Pull in opposite direction (may require two people).
• Use a swivel-pulling eye, to prevent additional twisting of the cable
during installation.
