ASSEMbLy & INSTALLATION
TERMINATING THE DOWNRIGGER CAbLE
NOTE: Use only straight cable when routing through the terminator. Worn or kinked cable can be stressed and may
break prematurely when retrieving trolling weights.
NOTE: A set of pliers with wire cutters is recommended for this part of setup.
1. Unwind about 2 feet of cable and
thread through the rubber cushion.
Attach Swivel Snap to terminator.
2. Examine the top of the terminator
and note the order shown in the
detail to run cable.
3. Lead and pull six inches of cable
through HOLE A. Thread cable
through swivel, then up into bottom
of the terminator. Lead cable out of
HOLE B and into HOLE C. Push the
cable until its end touches the inside
of the terminator hook. Tighten cable
by squeezing terminator until it snaps
shut. Then pull at top and bottom
until drawn tight. Make sure that the
cable threads the hook.
NOTE: Use only straight cable, not kinked cable.
4. Slide the cushion over the top of the terminator and give it a test pull. The cable is now set to attach a Cannon Flash Weight™.
ATTACHING THE LINE RELEASE (UNI-RELEASE)
The Cannon Uni-Release attaches directly to the downrigger weight. Attach
fi shing line to the clip at the end of the release, and then click through a
series of increasing tension settings. The release can be used with any test
line on salt or fresh water and may be adjusted from 2 to 22 pounds of grip
tension on the line.
To change line release tension, turn tension knob to (+) to increase or (-)
to decrease. Tension also may vary according to where the line is placed in
the grips. Higher tension is on the line if it is set back toward the hinge, and
lower if set closer to the opening. To open the release, spread the release
arms with thumb and forefi nger applying pressure to the sides.
