RT770E SERVICE MANUAL INTRODUCTION
NOTE: The outer strands must not be able to move with
respect to the inner strands. The weld must not
exceed the diameter of the rope.
b. If a welder is not available, the cut is to be made with
an acetylene torch. The cut is to be made in such a
way that both ends of the rope are completely fused
so that all inner and outer strands are bonded
together, preventing any movement between
strands.
NOTE: The outer strands must not be allowed to move
with respect to the inner strands. The fused end
must not exceed the diameter of the rope.
3. Once the cuts have been completed, the seizing bands
are to be left in place.
4. Attach a “Do not remove welded ends” tag on each reel
flange.
