ALWAYS unwind the roll of the new Wire Rope without kinks or bends (see Figure 6-9 ).
Protect the rope from dirt.
4) Examine the Wire Rope Guide Ring Halves and the Drum after cleaning/degreasing thoroughly.
5) Verify proper fit of the Wire Rope Guide Ring Halves with the Drum, matching up the respective grooves and
check that there is no excessive clearance. Check for pointed or sharp crests and heavy wear and tear. Where
necessary assess the need for replacing the wire rope guides and the Drum.
6) Secure the end of the Wire Rope to the Drum with 3 Wire Rope Clamps (do not forget the lock washers!). Allow
the rope end to project by approximately 30-40mm, see Figure 6-8.
