STEP 4: Connecting the Load Line to the Anchor
Attach a load cell between the load line and the fixed anchor using a side pull sheave. Do not try to
side pull without this adapter or load line will be damaged.
The side pull sheave is attached to the second and the third is extended enough to prevent rope
damage and allow the line to align with the side pull sheave. On all units except the General 95, the
second section is extended so that the line comes off 300 inches from the centerline of rotation. The
General 95 is fully retracted at 329 inches.
The side pull sheave is only used for testing. Side pull is not permitted
during operation, only for testing purposes.
