adjacent turns are tight against one another. A lead or brass hammer may be used to tap
the rope over against preceding turns. Tight winding on the drum is absolutely essential.
Never use a steel hammer or pry bar to move the rope over on the drum. These
tools can easily damage the rope.
After the rope is wound onto the winch drum, reeve the cable as desired.
Use only factory supplied sockets, wedges and pins of the proper size; make no
substitutions.
Follow the procedure below when installing wedge type sockets on wire rope. Be certain
the correct socket and wedge are used.
1. Lead the rope (3) through the socket (1), form a large loop and draw the rope
end (2) back through the socket. A length of rope equal to at least one rope lay
should be drawn back through.
2. Insert the wedge (1) and allow the rope strands to adjust around it.
3. Seat the wedge and loop just tightly enough to allow handling by attaching the
socket to a strong support and engaging the winch to take a strain on the rope.
