CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite hook,
with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Place taped end of cable into hole in cable drum, as shown below. Use 3/8-16NC x 1/2 Lg. Hx. Soc. drive set-
screw (part of 234173 drum assembly) to secure cable to drum.
3. Carefully run winch in “reel-in” direction. Keep tension on end of cable, spool all the cable onto the cable drum,
taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
After installing cable, check free spool operation. Disengage clutch and pull cable at a walking speed. If cable “bird
nests”, loosen jam nut (item #22) and turn nylon screw (item #19) clockwise to increase drag on drum. If cable pull
is excessive loosen nylon setscrew by turning counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut when proper setting is obtained.
CAUTION: Over-tightening of jam nut may strip nylon setscrew.
