6. Completely open the discharge gate and wrap the cable six (6) times counterclockwise around the
outside section (closest to you) of the discharge gate control wheel starting outside and working
towards the middle. Use cable clamp to secure the cable to the control wheel. Cross the cable to
the inside section of the discharge gate control wheel and wrap the cable two (2) times starting at
the middle and working towards the outside.
(See Figure 8.)
