2.Route the cable through the Winch Drum
Relief located near the bottom of the
drum. Tighten the set screw to anchor
the cable to the drum. See
Figure 10 .
3.Turn the winch drum one full revolution.
Guide the cable against the flange at the
bottom of the winch drum. The cable
must not wrap over itself on the drum,
but should be wrapped as close as
possible to each previous wrap. See
Figure 11.
Screw Hook Installation
The recommended distance between the drops
for the Liberty Feeding System is 8’
[2.4 m] on
center. Do not exceed 10’ [3 m] spacing on drop
lines.
If the distance raised is greater than the distance
between the drop spacings, offset the hooks 3"
[7.6 cm] to each side of the line to prevent the
cable clamps from catching the pulleys. See
Figure 12 .
Screw the hook into the truss
the full length of the threads
to prevent bending.
The openings of the screw
hooks must be pointed away
from the direction of travel
when the Power Winch raises
the feeder line.
