Winch Kit Installation (Continued)
The recommended spacing between the winch cable at the hopper and the drop lines on each side of the
hopper is 1' (0.3 m). A 3' (0.9 m) space is recommended between the cable at the drive unit and the drop
lines on each side of the drive unit.
Figure 5AF
Cable and Winch Installation
For wood frame installation install screw hooks along the line at the recommended spacing. Screw hooks
into the ceiling supports or rafters the full length of the threads to prevent bending. For metal frame
installations, some support fabrication may be necessary in order to install pulleys at the recommended
spacing. For additional information and recommendations, contact a Cumberland representative.
The openings of the screw hooks must point away from the direction of cable travel when the winch raises
the feeder. If the distance raised is greater than the distance between drop spacings, stagger the hooks
3" (8 cm) to each side of the line to prevent the cable clamp sleeves from catching on the pulleys.
(See Figure 5AG.)
