OPERATION

FX-1800/FX-1200 07/20

Operation Section 4-51

3. Ensure that the heads of the carriage bolts are

assembled so they are on the inside of the

winch so that the cable does not interfere with

the bolts.

(Figure Ops-1544)

4. Now, have someone hold the end of the cable

taught while another person winds the winch.

This will ensure that the cable is wound snugly

onto the winch. When the cable is getting close

to being completely wound onto the winch,

place the eye of the cable over the storage

location and then finish tightening the cable.

(Figure Ops-1545).

5. If you want to use the winch to lift the wing first, loosen the cable on the winch and remove the cable from

its storage location.
