The first time the cable is spooled onto the
drum it must be done under tension, and it
must be guided into place so that it spools
smoothly.
WINCH CABLE INSTALLATION
Physical harm could result if any part of
your person or clothing should get
caught in the spooling wire rope. Spool
the cable on slowly. The first layer on the
winch drum is critical. Pack the wraps
tightly together with a mallet. Do not use
a standard hammer, this could result in
wire rope damage.
