  When the lever is in the open position, pull it upwards to lock into place.  The 

lever on the side of the strand lock should pop back in to lock the strand lock 
into place.  Pulling the side lever out will once again unlock the strand lock.

6.  Setting the Rear Gate: 

 

To open rear gate, follow these steps: 
6a) To open rear gate, push release button on the bottom of the rear gate bracket 
and swing open while button is still depressed. When the rear gate is open the 
drum lock will be engaged and will automatically lock when the gate openings 
are lined up. The lasher is ready to put on the line. 
Place the lasher on the strand making sure the strand is centered in both strand 
rollers. Close the strand lock by pushing the lever toward the machine until the 
strand rollers close around the messenger. NOTE: Keep fingers away from the 
arm as they may be pinched in the mechanisms while closing. 
Place the cable up into the machine and swing front gate closed. Close the back 
gate by pushing the release button and swinging the gate shut. This also 
releases the drum lock. The rear horizontal (2) and vertical (3) rollers can now 
be adjusted to center and contain the cable. Tie off the lashing wire, attach the 
tow rope to the eyelets on the front of the machine. The machine is ready to 
lash.
