Installation Instructions
Replacing the cable on your Rogue PRO rope requires a few simple steps:
Remove Old Cable: Use heavy-duty cable cutters to remove the old cable from your existing handles.
Prepare New Cable: Remove the red nylon end caps from both ends of your new replacement cable.
Attach Handles: Carefully slide your Rogue PRO handles onto the new cable. (Note: Be careful not to fray the ends of the heavy wire).
Secure End Caps: Loosen the screws on the provided black end caps. Slide them onto the cable ends.
Tighten: Use the included Allen key to tighten the set screws firmly against the cable.
Maintenance and Care
Surface Restriction: Due to the weight and momentum of the 5.5mm cable, it must only be used on a rubberized or smooth gym surface. Using this heavy cable on concrete or asphalt will cause the red coating to strip and the wire core to fail prematurely.
Screw Check: Periodically check the set screws in the end caps. The heavy rotation of the PRO rope can cause screws to loosen over time; retightening ensures the handles stay securely attached.
Storage: Coil the rope loosely in large circles. Do not fold or "kink" the 5.5mm cable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this cable with SR-1 or SR-2 handles?
A: No. This 5.5mm cable is too thick for the eyelets and bushing systems of the SR series. It is designed exclusively for the Rogue PRO Stainless Steel handles.
Q: Do I need to cut this cable?
A: No. These cables are sold in pre-cut fixed lengths. Selecting the correct size from the chart above ensures a perfect fit without the need for wire cutters.
Q: Why is my cable fraying at the ends?
A: This typically happens during handle installation. Ensure you are sliding the handles on smoothly and that the end caps are tightened securely over the very tip of the wire.
