HELP---I need inspiring---Anyone have any picts of MANUAL chute actuators? I do not like what my weak age inhibited brain is conjuring uppp post please
Normal fashion is on the top of the rollcage as a lever. You pull it towards you, and it pulls the cable. Where the pivot point is controls how much cable it will move, and how much force.
I did it ghetto on my truck. It's on the right side of the aluminum seat, and I pull upwards, right in line with the fire bottles, but a big handle. If something nasty occurs, I start from dash and move back step by step:
Hit the kill. Move down, Pop neutral. Something is still wrong, move down to the chute, something still wrong, move down and hit the engine bottle (this also forces engine shutoff in my case), if it still doesn't work, I move down and hit the last handle which is the cab bottle. If that doesn't work, I use the ejection seat.
Note to self, put in sunroof...
A high quality teflon coated cable with few bends, all mild is the trick for me. It can take a lot of effort to slide 16 feet of cable.
