CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of wire
rope, opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Place taped end of cable through roller guide and into hole in cable drum as shown below. Use
3/8”-16NC X 3/8” Lg. Hex socket drive setscrew to secure cable to drum.
3. Carefully run the winch in the “reel-in” direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the
cable onto the cable drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
After installing cable, check freespool operation. Disengage clutch and pull on cable at walking
speed. If cable “birdnests”, loosen jam nut #34 and turn 3/8”-16NC capscrew #29 clockwise to
increase drag on drum. If cable pull is excessive, loosen 3/8”-16NC capscrew #29 by turning
counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut when proper setting is obtained.
