6.9.1 Lift Cable Inspection and Replacement
!!! WARNING !!!
This procedure requires that the unit be moved between its retracted and extended positions.
Before repositioning the unit, ensure that all personnel are standing clear of the unit. After
repositioning of the unit, fully isolate the unit from all power sources.
Take all appropriate precautions for working on equipment suspended from overhead. Failure to
take prudent safety measures can result in serious injury or death.
1. Lower the spout to the extended position.
2. Visually inspect the entire length of the cable, including the portion of the cable
remaining inside the housing assembly. If any signs of corrosion or fraying are
present, the cable must be replaced.
3. To replace the cable, lift the spout so that a work
platform can be placed under the outlet assembly.
4. Lower the outlet assembly onto the platform.
5. Disconnect the cable from the outlet assembly by
unscrewing the lifting eyebolt.
6. Remove the cable from the drum by loosening the
retention bolt on the drum ( Figure 4 )
7. Thread the new cable through the turning sheave
( Figure 2 ).
8. Attach the cable to the drum by threading it through
the hole in the retention bolt ( Figure 4 ). The loose
end of the cable should be short enough to fit
completely inside the slot.
9. Tighten the retention bolt.
10. Tightly wrap the cable around the drum twice and
thread the cable through the cable guides
11. Connect the cable to the outlet assembly using the
lifting eyebolt.
