‘does not exceed 1½°, (see
Figure 36).


Pull the tail end from the spool and pass through the first sheave of the bottom block.

Then back to the hoist and over the outer most of the twin sheave assembly, closest to the spool side of
the hoist.

Back to the bottom block and through the inner sheave on the opposite side to that of which is already
reeved.

Back to the hoist and over the compensating sheave so the rope falls off on the spool side.

Back to the bottom block and through the unused inner sheave.

At the hoist pass tail end over the inner of the twin sheaves so that it falls off on the opposite side to the
spool.

Back at the bottom block pass through the last sheave and back to the hoist.

At this point both tail ends should be at a similar length ready to be connected to the hoist drum.

Clamp the tail ends to the drum.
