* Take the loose end of your cable spool and slide the cable through the posts on the run you are working on
* It is typically easiest to run the cable up through the bottom post towards the top post
* As you are running the cable through the posts, place the metal sleeves on the cable facing the post hole to\
  which they will attach
* Steep Adhesive sleeves will attach to each 5/16" hole on an angled run
  {% endcolumn %}

* Slide the loose end of the cable through the Adhesive Sleeve, then the Termination Washer, and into the  Cable Stop
* Crimp the Cable Stop on to the end of the cable, then  turn it 90° and crimp it again

*Note: In order to free a Termination washer from the metal frame they come on, you must bend one back and forth a couple times and it will break free*&#x20;

* Insert the Cable Stop into the 5/16" hole
* Then turn the Termination Washer (shown above) and slide it into the 5/16" hole as well
* Pull the cable back and the Cable Stop and Termination Washer will lock against the inside of the post

* Return to the other end of the run where the Angle Tension Kit will be installed nearest the spool, and pull the cable tight for the full run
* Place painter’s tape on the cable where the cable meets  the inside edge of the post

* Insert the Threaded Crimp Fitting into the 5/16" hole on the inside face of the post
* Then, insert the Tension Receiver into the ½" hole on the outside face of the post
* Meet both in the middle of the post and thread the Tension Receiver onto the Crimp Fitting four full turns

* Slide the protective Neoprene Sleeve onto the cable near the post you are working on
* Firmly grasp the sleeve with pliers and use the supplied 5/32" Allen wrench to tighten the Tension Receiver only snug enough to hold in place&#x20;

* Remove the plastic cover on the Adhesive Sleeve and firmly press the sleeve against the 5 /16" holes on the run
* After all the cable runs are done and the Adhesive Sleeves are placed, use the Allen wrench to tighten the remaining side of the cable run in sequence
