6.1) Installing the wire rope in the lubridryer
6.2) Wrapping wire rope around capstans
Position the hook down with wire rope going upwards in the
Rotatub as shown before wrapping the wire rope around
the capstans. This is to allow the wire rope to twist in the
hook assembly as it is wrapped around the capstans.
Wrap the wire rope around the capstans three times starting with the lower capstan innermost groove
as shown, while insuring the rope is pulled tight into the capstan grooves.
Start wrapping the cable
in the first groove of the
lower capstan
Open the capstan cover and pay out approximately 16 feet of
wire rope off of the helicopter hoist. Open the Lubridryer by
flipping the latch up and opening the Lubridryer. Position the
wire rope in the Lubridryer and close the Lubridryer by lowering
the latch over the screw. After the cable is in position turn the
Red Valve Screw counter clockwise 3 turn to allow oil to flow to
the Lubridryer pads
