Assembly of  Aluminum T-14 Pole with Mounting Kit and T-14 House Mount

Step 17)

 Run the cable with the cable stop on it 

down the pole towards your installed winch.  Ro-
tate the winch drum until you see a slot on the 
opposite side of the handle.  This is where you will 
need to insert the cable stop.  Using the photos as 
a   guide,   notice   how   the   cable   runs   to   the   back 
side of the winch and then you bring it up and 
over the drum.  Then insert the stop into the slot-
ted hole.  Keep tension on the cable.

Take the end of the cable where you have your 
thimble and clamps installed and place it on the 
hooked end of your safety pin.   You will now be 
removing the slack of the cable by turning your 
winch   handle.     Keep   tension   on   your   cable   and 
turn the winch handle and wrap the cable around  
the drum till all the slack is gone and you have a 

little   tension   on   the   cable   because   it   has   been 
looped on to safety pin.  Please be sure the hitch 
pin is fully seated into the safety bolt hole.   This 
will keep the pin in place while you install the pole 
over the ground stake.

Step 18)

  You will now be installing the pole over 

the ground stake.  This is best accomplished with 
two adults.   Before you stand the pole up, give 
some thought as to the orientation of winch.  Car-
ry   the   assembled   pole   to   the   ground   stake   and 
stand the pole up next to the stake.  Pick the pole 
up and set it on the edge of the ground stake.  
See   Step   18   photo   on   the   next   page.     Working 
with your helper, maneuver the pole till it is ready 
to   slide   down   the   stake.     Sometimes   aluminum 
can bind.   By placing some oil or spraying with 
WD-40 on the stake, will aid in the pole sliding 
down easier  The pole is now fully seated over the 
ground stake and sitting on your concrete base.
