used to provide the required braking force.
Install cable on the winch drum in accordance with the following procedure.
1. Position the cable over the boom tip sheave and route back to the winch drum.
2. Position the winch drum with the cable anchor slot on top.
3. Insert cable through slot and position around the cable wedge.
4. Position the anchor wedge in the drum slot; pull firmly on the free end of the
cable to secure the wedge.
5. Slowly rotate the drum, ensuring the first layer of cable is evenly wound on the
drum.
6. Install the remainder of the cable, as applicable. The end of the cable should be
even with the bottom of the anchor wedge.

wedge with a mallet.
