START-UP PROCEDURE (cont’d)
5.1. CABLE FERRULE INSTALLATION
Install the cable on the drum using the ferrule provided.
Caution: Wedge-type Cable Ferrules are
intended only for use with new 6x19 or 6x37
Class, right regular lay EIP or IWRC wire rope.
1. Slip ferrule over rope. Then, unlay strands
and slip profile wedge over core strand
(about half the length of the wedge).
2. Relay the strands around the wedge,
placing each in its proper groove. Run the
ferrule back toward the wedge as far as it
will go.
3. Hold wedge with pliers near the top and
turn clockwise about 1/8 turn or until the
strands snap into grooves in the ferrule.
Drive in wedge slightly to hold strands in
this position. Strands should project from
top of ferrule about 1/2” - not below the
top.
4. Drive the wedge in as far as it will go with
a hammer and a short pipe that fits over
the core strand and inside the main
strands. Wedge may be inserted to 1/8”
below the top of the ferrule.
5. Installation completed - ferrule and wedge
must look like this for good performance.
Strands will slip some until they grip the
wedge and become firmly seated. Wedge
should be about 1/4” below ends of
strands.
