  2. Position assembly into desired channel location.
  3. Tighten into position using a 17 mm spanner, turning clockwise.
  4. Back-off the locking collar and depress plunger. Do not undo fully.
  5. Insert wire rope through the plunger at the top of the device.
  6. Adjust the position by depressing the plunger and moving along on the wire.
  7. Once the trapeze bracket is in position, release the plunger and wind the locking collar up to the shoulder.
  8. Lock the trapeze position by turning the locking collar clockwise. Repeat steps 1 – 8 to build a multi-tier bracket.
