3-6. REPAIR FRAME ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
a.
Remove
(1) Gently pull the frame poles (1) closest to the joint sleeve (2) to be replaced apart. Do not open the
joint more than is necessary. This will keep pressure off the spring and make it easier to hold the
cable.
(2) Carefully spread the split ring (3) and remove it from the frame pin (4) securing the sleeve joint (2) to
the frame pole (1).
(3) Remove the frame pin (4).
(4) Pull frame joint sleeve (2) and pole cable assembly (7) out of frame pole (1).
(5) Carefully spread the split ring (5) and remove it from the frame pin (6) securing the pole cable
assembly (7) to the frame pole (1). Remove the frame pin.
(6) Remove the frame sleeve joint (2) by pulling it over the pole cable assembly (7). Retain cable and
spring for re-use.
b.
Install
(1) With the spring (8) installed on the pole cable assembly (7), slide the new frame sleeve joint (2) over
the pole cable assembly (7).
(2) Extend the cable and pass the new frame pin (6) through one side of the frame pole (1), through the
loop in the pole cable assembly (7), and out the other side of the frame pole (1).
(3) Carefully spread the split ring (5) and thread it through the hole in the frame pin (6).
(4) Insert pole cable assembly (7), spring (8), and frame joint sleeve (2) into frame pole (3).
(5) Align holes in frame joint sleeve (2) with holes in frame pole (1) and push frame pin (4) through both
sets of holes.
(6) Carefully spread the split ring (3) and thread it through the hole in the frame pin (4).
