Based on the provided reference, the steps described relate to attaching a gate latch cable assembly to the latch mechanism itself, rather than demonstrating how to use a fully installed cable to open a gate.
If you are looking to understand the process of connecting a gate latch cable assembly to your gate latch, the reference outlines a few key steps for this attachment:
Steps for Attachment
The reference snippet details the process from the perspective of attaching components to the latch. Here is a breakdown of the actions described:
- Prepare the Cable and Spring: Begin by sliding the tapered spring over the cable.
- Prepare the Clip: Place the clip. (The exact placement relative to the cable isn't specified initially, but it's implied to be part of the assembly that connects to the latch).
- Position over Latch: Bring the cable and clip assembly over the latch.
- Engage the Latch Pin: Pull the pin side of the latch out. This action likely prepares the latch for the clip attachment.
- Slide and Secure: Slide the clip (and presumably the cable assembly) over the hole on the latch (where the pin was pulled from).
- Release: Release the pulled pin side of the latch to secure the clip in place.
According to the reference, once these steps are completed, the attachment process is finished. This procedure focuses on connecting the cable system to the latch mechanism, enabling its potential future use to operate the latch.
