REPLACING POWER DRIVE WIRE ROPE
Each end of the hoist wire rope is equipped with loops. The small loop is attached to the #17 brake sheave (see Figure 6-
3) by passing it through the hole and bending it back against the pull or load. It is snubbed over the web of the sheave
and fastened to the sheave with the screw provided. The large loop is used for attaching loads with a shackle and hook.
On platform units, the hook is mounted on the platform or top bracket, and the loop is slipped over the hook.
