1. Remove the old rope by cutting the line, and pulling the
pieces out of the adjustor and the connector body. [A]
2. Remove the nylon wire tie from the end of the factory
formed loop end and straighten the line.
3. Insert the replacement line into the adjustor, then slide the
adjustor down to the end termination of the pole rope. This
will keep these parts out of the way as you work. [B]
4. Insert the free or whip end of the replacement pole rope
into hole #1 of the connector body, pulling section with the
factory formed loop past the end, then insert the whip end
into hole #2 and pull the end through. [C]
5. Match the alignment marks. The rope should take a natural
set on the factory formed loop. One set of marks is for the
ends, the other to position the rope clamp. [C]
INSPECT ALL PATRIOT COMPONENTS PRIOR TO REPLACING THE POLE ROPE.
• All hardware must be free of any signs of stress, cracks, indications of electrical contact or extreme wear.
• The red wear indicator on the Red/White/Blue inner line should not be visible.
• The carabiner, connector slot and connector latch should be free from debris, open easily and close completely.
If any of the components fail the inspection, do not continue with the pole rope replacement. The failed equipment
must be removed from service.

6. Force the pole rope loop tight against the connector
body. It may take a few light taps of a hammer to
properly seat the line. [D]
7. Place the heat-shrink cap on the end of the line, and
secure using a blow dryer. Do not overheat the rope.
Excess heat could damage the line.
8. Position one half of the rope clamp between the
marks. It must be configured to meet the other half
and allowing the alignment of the screw holes. While
avoiding damage to the clamp, push or
squeeze the rope into the clamp. This may
be done with a pair of pump pliers. [E]
9. Repeat the procedure with the other half
of the clamp.
10. Join the 2 rope clamp sides with the
longer alignment screws. If the holes are
not exactly aligned-the connector body
can be moved from side to side to allow
the screws to be inserted. [F]
11. Tighten the alignment screws, alternating
sides until the 2 sides are flush and the
screws are snug.
12. Insert and tighten the grip screws by
alternating the sides and location on both
sides of the connector clamp. The screws must be tightened until they
are fully counter-sunk and are flush with the body. If using a cordless
screwdriver, we suggest the clutch be set mid-range. [G]
13. Inspect to verify all components and the finished assembly for proper
orientation of clamp/connector. Return to service.
