LIGNMENT
To check the alignment of the winch, watch the cable wrapping on the drum as
the auger is raised. Proper alignment is achieved when the cable indexes
properly, meaning that it fills each row on the drum evenly and does not pile up
against one side.
If the cable does not index properly, lower the auger fully until there is slack in the
cable. Loosen the nuts on the u-bolts. Adjust the winch, retighten nuts, and
retest.
