and lift up first one then the other of the spring tangs while sliding the center cross bar of the
tensioner under the tangs. A pry bar will 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.
