16. Complete the lift or pull being
sure the work is placed in a stable
location where it won’t slip or roll.
If there is any question about
stability, use blocks or tie the
work down before removing wire
rope and chains.
17. Using the winch controls, unwind
enough wire rope to remove the
hooks or chains and remove
them carefully. Avoid straddling
the wire rope.
18. Respool both wire ropes and
take this opportunity to inspect
them for damage. Keep tension
on the wire rope while
respooling.
19. Retract and lower the boom to
normal horizontal position and
carefully snug up any loose wire
rope.
CAUTION:
Don’t stress the wire rope by over
retrieving or tightening and
exceeding the working limit. Over
stressing the wire rope beyond
its working limit can cause
damage resulting in premature
wire rope failure.
