NOTE: The surface to which the springs are bolted must be 1.25 +.50 inch above the
centerline of the drum barrel. See FIG. 2, SECTION A-A.
Insert the end of the cable into the opening of the tensioner so that it passes under the center
cross bar and over the front cross bar and install the cable into the cable anchor. 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.
