Troubleshooting
Cable feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Check for sharp bends or kinks in the cable run. Ensure the cable is not obstructed and that the connected mechanism moves freely. Lubricate the cable entry point if necessary.
T-handle does not actuate the connected device.
Verify the cable is securely attached to both the T-handle assembly and the device. Ensure the connected device itself is functioning correctly and is not seized. Check for any slack in the cable that needs to be taken up.
Mounting nut loosens over time.
Ensure the lock nut was tightened sufficiently during installation. Consider using a secondary locking mechanism if vibration is a significant factor in the installation environment.
