HOIST CABLE INSTALLATION AND INSPECTION
The following steps will assure that the wire rope winds smoothly and evenly on the hoist
and will yield greater safety and longer cable life:
Refer to
Section 1
of this manual for complete replacement rope specifications.
1. If possible, the cable should be rolled off a storage spool and straightened out on the
ground in line with the boom. If the ground is not clean or the space is too limited, the
cable can be wound directly from the storage spool onto the hoist, but the spool must
rotate in the same direction as the hoist.
2. Check the seizings on the ends of the cable, and replace them if they are missing or
damaged.
3. Install the cable over the boom tip sheave and route it through the cable retainer
loops, to the hoist drum.
4. Position the hoist drum with the cable clamp on top.
5. Insert the cable through the anchor slot and under cable clamp. The end of the cable
should extend past the clamp as much as possible.
6. Force the rope to the left side of the drum.
