3.8. INSTALL LIFT CYLINDER CABLES TO THE TRACK
SHOE
Note:
Although the lift cable is factory installed on the cylinder, make sure that the
cable clamps on the cylinder are secure and the cables are properly seated in
the cable sheaves before attaching the cable to the track shoe.
1. Ensure that all cylinders are in full down position, and that track shoe is
resting against the track stop.
2. Thread the lift cables around the circular cable beds on the outside edges of
the cable-attach rod on the track shoe (three lift cables for the X160-85, and
two lift cables for the X160-105/125 models).
3. Pull the cables very tight, then secure with cable clamps on each cable (see
Figure 3.29 for an example using the X160-85).
CAUTION
Track shoe must rest against track stop when
adjusting cable.
If this isn’t done, the auger can raise higher
than designed to lift, resulting in damage to
auger and possible injury to personnel.
WARNING
Unroll and straighten lift cables carefully
during installation. Ensure that there are no
kinks, loops, twists, or any visible defect in the
cables. Discard and replace cables that have
any visible defect.
Do not unroll cables on the ground or
otherwise expose cables to dirt or grit. Wipe
cables with a clean cloth to ensure that any
grit is removed before installation.
