Different brands of wire have different markings to
indicate cutting direction. Look at the new wire
closely to determine direction.

the cutting direction.
Figure 4-7. This type of wire has arrowheads molded
into the plastic coating. The dark “shoulder” of the
cutting bead should trail the bead as the wire cuts.

stamped with an arrow show-
ing the direction of rotation.

Place the new wire over the wheels, in reverse order of
removing the wire. Be sure to mount it so that the
