be necessary to lift up the tangs. Push the tensioner toward the spring until the half loops at the end of
each spring tang snap into place over the center cross bar of the tensioner. See FIG. 2.
Engage the clutch and run the winch in the reel in direction winding about five wraps of cable onto the
drum and stop. Using a hammer, tap these five wraps tightly over against the cable anchor flange of the
cable drum. Finish winding all the cable onto the cable drum. As cable winds onto the drum, watch the
tensioner. Tensioner must be free to move without obstruction to function properly. If tensioner touches
any surrounding structure, correct the problem.
CAUTION: STOP REEL IN OF CABLE BEFORE THIMBLE/HOOK ENTERS LEVEL WINDER.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR BREAKAGE TO THE WINCH, LEVEL
WINDER, OR VEHICLE.
OPERATION
Lay cable out in a straight line behind the truck to prevent kinking before beginning to wind in. It is not
necessary to walk in with the cable, let your Level Winder do the work.
