Remember, most wire rope failures are caused by cable
crushing or the operator underestimating the pull or over
estimating the wire rope strength.
12. Once the work is in the desired
position, apply the towed vehicles
parking brake or use blocks or tie
the work down if there is any
question about stability. Slowly
reduce the wire rope tension.
After enough wire rope has been
unwound, you may remove the
hookup.
13. Now slowly retrieve the wire rope,
carefully winding the wire rope
onto the drum. Many operators
take this opportunity to do a
visual inspection. When you’ve
finished rewinding the wire rope,
be sure you don’t overwind it.
Always wear safety glasses and
gloves when doing recovery work
or handling the wire rope.
