5.4 WINCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
See Winch manual, section 12, for operating instructions and general
winch safety information.
5.5 POSITIONING AND BRAKING OF CONDUCTOR DRUM
Once on site, position the trailer at approximately 20-30 metres distance from the first
pole to be strung. Align the trailer so the centre of the drum is in line with the first
pole. This ensures the conductor comes off the drum without fouling the drum
flanges.
