Attaching winch weight with double reeving
 Remove the split pin from the winch weight.
 Take off the front half of the winch weight.
 Lead the winch cable around one cable sheave and then around the outermost cable roller of
the winch head. Then around the 2
nd
cable roller of the lifting weight.
 Make sure the lifting hook is around the centring bush.
 Fit the front half of the winch weight back in position. Make sure it is placed such that the cable
rollers can turn freely. If it is mounted incorrectly, the cable sheaves will rub against the steel
weight.
 Fit the split pin in the 1
st
hole in front of the front section of the winch weight so it is secured in
place.
 Pull the cable eye of the winch cable along the inside of the winch head and place it over the
black plastic with the hole in it. Remove the pin at the top of the winch head and fit it again
with the pin through the cable eye.
Check
 Make sure all the pins and loose parts are properly attached and secured.
 Make sure the winch cable does not get caught on the jib and jib structure.
Step-for-step
 Switch on the remote control and position the winch cable above the
winch weight by raising the boom, slewing it if necessary and rolling
out the winch cable. Use one hand to operate the joystick for the
winch and use the other hand to hold the winch cable and keep it
under tension.
 Remove the pin from the removable half of the winch weight and
remove this half (see figure 81).

 Fit the required number of cable sheaves. For no reeving do not use
any sheaves. Attach the eye to the shaft that the sheaves were on (see
figure 82).
