A pass-through hole with two setscrews is used to secure
the cable to the drum. The anchoring system is designed for
1/2-inch through 9/16-inch (12 mm through 14 mm) diameter
cable.
CABLE WRAP DIRECTION
Cable can be wound onto the drum in either direction. The
static brake is effective in both directions.
SECURING CABLE TO DRUM
1. Determine the direction of drum rotation to haul-in cable.
2. Insert cable end into anchor hole of drum until even with
other end of hole.
3. Coat anchor setscrew threads with antiseize compound
and then secure rope by tightening to 75±10 lbs.-ft..
1. Oil Level
The gear oil level should be checked every 500 operating
hours or three months, whichever occurs first. Use sight
glass to check oil level. The level should be within the upper
and lower limits of the glass. If additional oil is needed, refer
to the Preventive Maintenance section of this manual.
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Rope anchors are NOT designed to hold rated loads.
Winch loads applied directly to the cable anchor may
cause the rope to pull free and result in the sudden
loss of load control and cause property damage, per-
sonal injury, or death. A minimum of three wraps of
rope must be left on the drum barrel to achieve rat-
ed load. Do not use knots to secure or attach winch
rope. We suggest that the last three wraps of rope
be painted or marked bright red to serve as a visual
warning.
