Installing Wire Rope (200 lb. - 10,000 lb. winches)
CAUTION
• Position the wire rope so that it comes off the top of the
drum.
1. Cut wire rope to length and fuse end to prevent fraying of
strands in accordance with the wire rope manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Feed the fused end of the wire rope (1) through the hole in
the drum flange (2). Loosely weave the wire rope through
the anchor block starting at the inner hole (3) then back
through the outer hole (4) and then through the center hole
(5). Refer to Dwg. MHP0280.

Safe Installation Procedures
1. Do not use wire rope as a ground (earth) for welding.
2. Do not attach a welding electrode to winch or wire rope.
3. Never run the wire rope over a sharp edge. Use a correctly
sized sheave. Refer to instruction 4 under “MOUNTING”.
4. Do not weld to any part of the winch.
5. Always maintain at least three full wraps of wire rope on
the drum.
Wire Rope
CAUTION
• Maintain at least 3 wraps of wire rope on the drum at all
times.
• Install the wire rope to come off the drum in an overwind
position.
Wire Rope Selection
Consult a reputable wire rope manufacturer or distributor for
assistance in selecting the appropriate type and size of wire rope
and, where necessary, a protective coating. Use a wire rope
which provides an adequate safety factor to handle the actual
working load and meets all applicable industry, trade
association, federal, state and local regulations.
When considering wire rope requirements the actual working
load must include not only the static or dead load but also loads
resulting from acceleration, retardation and shock load.
Consideration must also be given to the size of the winch wire
rope drum, sheaves and method of reeving.
WARNING
• Check wire rope size provides adequate safety factor.
