WIRE ROPE SPECIFICATION
The rope must be of good quality, have a steel core and meet the
specification detailed on the certificate of conformity.
Avoid pulling a load at more than a 15 degree angle in relation to
the winch. This will reduce wear and tear on the winch and the
cable.
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
1. Remove Rope Drum safety guard.
2. Unwind the cable by rolling it out along the ground
with the tapered end nearest to the winch. NEVER wind the cable
straight onto the drum from a coil.
3. Raise the cable tensioner away from the rope drum (if supplied
as part of your kit), and lock in position through the corresponding
holes in the tensioner frame and bracket using a suitable pin or bolt.
4. Rotate the rope drum under power until the rope fixing holes run
vertically at the front of the winch.
5. Pass the rope end through the roller fairlead, under the drum and
back over the top of the drum to pass through the rope hole furthest
way from the drum flange. Keep feeding the rope through to wrap
around the drum
FOUR TIMES
and into the rope fixing hole
nearest the drum flange.
6. Tighten the retaining screw ensuring that the rope end is flush
with the exit of the hole and not protruding.
7. Feed back any excess slack to tighten the four wraps neatly on
the drum.
8. Remove the locking pin from the cable tensioner to allow the
rollers to rest on the rope. Note: This assembly is under tension.
Special care should be taken to avoid trapping fingers, clothing etc.
9. Apply moderate tension to the rope. Take care to ensure the
layers are neatly wrapped, as this will minimise damage to the
lower layers of rope when a load is applied.
PULLING OUT THE ROPE
Dis-engage the freespool. With
a pair of gloves on, pull out the
rope and secure to anchor or
load. Re-engage the freespool.
Note: Two wraps illustrated
for clarity.
