HOLD DOWN CABLE REPLACEMENT (Broken Cable) – cont’d
14) Feed loose cable end through lower
and upper cable rollers and through
float spring eye. Loop cable back and
install cable clamp loosely. Apply
tension to loose end of cable,
removing all slack between hold down
box and float spring. Position cable
clamp as close as possible to the float
spring while maintaining tension on
cable, and tighten securely. See
Figure 17.
15) Cut off excess cable approximately 2”
from cable clamp.
16) Carefully release the vice-grip clamp
that was holding the rewind wheel in
position.
17) Raise and lower the release handle to
assure free movement of the lock
roller and counter weight.
IMPORTANT: Do not lubricate
anything in the interior of the hold
down box.

18) Replace the hold down box cover, two bolts, positioning the cover 1/16” maximum
above the rewind wheel top surface. The box cover acts as a cable retainer to
prevent the holddown cable jumping off the rewind wheel, but must not interfere
with the rewind wheel rotation.

Cycle the unit up and down several
times, stopping the deck at numerous
positions above and below dock height
to assure the hold down system will
hold the deck in any position.
