and screws.

Tip: Proper use of the adhesive is the most important element of
proper foil assembly.
USE PLENTY OF ADHESIVE. (RED LOCTITE

®

)

Norseman/Sta-Lok Instructions
Because the lower end of the wire is open you will not “free” a
connector, but will simply slip one onto the wire and to the top
of the headstay.

Rod Instructions
Rod installations are identical to swaged wire at this point.

Free one connector and slide it towards the top of the
stay. Completely remove the tape. Tape can jam or
damage the unit if left on the wire.

Coat the top half of the connector and the indentation
with red Loctite. Place a plastic connector wedge in the
indentation closest to the top foil.

Push the connector into the foil until the screw holes in
the connector line up with the holes in the foil.

Coat three foil connector screws with red Loctite and
screw, then into the connector until they are tight.
