Published 01-29-2014, Control # 496-00
a. With one layer of cable on the hoist drum, adjust the
bolts on the front of each side plate (that push
against each arm) so the roller applies pressure on
the layer of cable, and does not interfere with filler/
riser protrusions on the hoist drum flanges. Tighten
jam nuts to secure setting.
b. With a full drum of cable, the adjusting spring length
from eye to eye should not exceed 25.7 cm (10.12
in). Adjust rods as necessary and tighten jam nuts to
secure this setting.
