Install
the
entire
winch
with
brackets
onto the
pole,
about
6-8”
below
the
pulley
guide. A
second
person
holding
the
winch
assembly while you install the unit will make
it much easier.
It’s now time to attach the cable to the brake
winch. We have installed a stop nut on to the
end of the cable. Insert the end of the cable
with the stop nut into the OVAL hole on the
gear side of the brake winch. Insert the stop
nut from
the inside of the winch so that it goes thru
the oval hole and out. Turn the cable so that
stop nut is horizontal to the hole and when
you pull on it it won’t come back out thru the
oval hole. Attach the handle of the winch
following the instructions provided with the
brake winch. Once the cable is on remove
any slack in the cable. Stand your pole up
and have your helper hold the pole. You will
be placing the entire unit back over your
ground stake but before you do so make
sure that the hub is up high enough on the
pole so that as you lower the unit over the
ground stake it won’t bonk you on the head.
Use your helper as it will take both of you to
raise the entire unit.
IMPORTANT!!!
There is a 50 pound
minimum load with the winch. You must put
your gourds on before raising or lowering the
hub.
When raising your hub, stop when you feel
the hub hit the stop pin. Never over tighten
the winch. It places to much stress on the
entire unit.
If your unit had the 4 set screws on the
bottom of the pole, replace them.
