tighten the packing gland too tight. A tight packing
gland will hold the soundome tube from moving,
either the fuse will blow or the bronze shear pin
will break.
2.6 Hydraulic Hoist
Installation
The hydraulic hoist will require some
assembly. There are four parts that make up the
complete hoist unit: hoist rack assembly, soundome
tube, hydraulic power pack with hydraulic ram and
soundome. There are two models of hydraulic pow-
er packs, DC and AC. The DC unit can be installed
on the hoist rack. The AC, due to its weight, must
be installed on a bulkhead. Bulkhead installation
may require some longer hydraulic lines.
NOTE: The soundome tube has been cut to
match the seachest on board. If there is any
uncertainty on the length contact your dealer
or WESMAR before proceeding with the in-
stallation
