Thread the Zappa Rail in-between the rod 
and core of the Insulstrainer. Tighten using 
a spanner on the top of the core bolt. The 
Zappa Rail will wrap around the rod and core 
creating tension.  

If too much Zappa rail is wrapped around 
core you will not be able to create sufficient 
tension. In this case you must release the 
tension cut off excess Zappa rail and re-
tension.

To release the tension you will need to 
tighten the Insulstrainer with a spanner and 
release the latch using a screwdriver. 

What you will need:

Please note:

 Do not put your fingers near 

the latch when releasing tension.

Pull the Zappa Rail tight by hand and mark 
where you need to cut the rail. Make sure 
you leave an extra 1000mm to thread 
through the End Bracket. Use a set square 
to mark a square out. Cut both wires using 
wire cutters, then using a sharp knife or 
scissors cut through the plastic, or cut with 
an angle grinder.
