end of the drum until firmly seated in cavity.
2. If new rope has not been terminated, feed one end through hole and pull out through the
cavity. terminate the rope in the proper manner. (see instructions on terminating wire rope pg.
25).
3. connect hoist to the correct power source and operate the UP button on the pendant switch.
Guide and layer the rope carefully onto the drum. Keep the rope tight against the drum. Do
not allow the rope to loosely spool onto the drum.
