Ausie guy I am assuming [8D] that the s/c means single cam. SO here is how you do it. I have set-up many of these. This is what MUZZY said to do when setting them up. Here it goes.

1. Nock point must be able to see 3/4 of the holes in the riser or set entirely above the holes. So nock set high.

2. Cross the cables above the cable gaurd.

3. The longer slot on the ZE slide must be the inside slot, closest to the riser.

4. The double ended stud that screws into the riser must be in the third hold on the arm.

5 then you set the threaded rod amr so that the hook or what I call the " turkey spur" do that it gives you clearance. This is generally even with the shelf on the riser. or 1/8 of an inch above.

Some people think that this is a " RIG" job but it is not. The arrows shot bullet holes set-up this way out of my Patriot single cam, tech 29 and VFT.

If I missed any thing I apologize but I think that covers it all. All other installation instructions are the same as any other set-up as far as final tuning and set-up.

This set-up allowed me to shoot 4" vanes to be IBO legal for hunter class. just to give you an idea of what clearance you will get. Feel free to e-mail me with any further questions or Call Muzzy support. They are really great about customer service. Hope this helps.

You need to have the rest bottom out on the stop peg just as you reach full draw and if it hits to early you will get some contact. One thing I noticed on mine was if when cable and string started to show wear it didn' t drop fast enough to get vane clearance, make sure you keep the string and cable waxed at the slide area. Also be sure and use the short brace height hole on the arm that mounts to the stud as stated above by KIDD.
BTP02: The reason they say cross different it will make the slide travel more or at least that is what mine done.

Bigcountry are you saying that if the cables are crossing on top of the cable guard you will get more travel? Or does it even matter if the cables are crossing on top or bottom of the cable guard?
