Apply braking force to the reel flange in order to prevent overrun as the rope is being drawn
off. Loops formed by overrun can cause kinks and doglegs in the rope, resulting in damage
and premature rope failure. A timber or block forced against the shipping reel flange can be
used to provide the required braking force.
Install cable on the winch drum in accordance with the following procedure:
1.
Position the cable over the boom nose sheave and route back to the winch drum.
2.
Position the winch drum with the cable anchor slot on top.
3. Insert cable through slot and position around the cable wedge.
4. Position the anchor wedge in the drum slot; pull firmly on the free end of the cable to
secure the wedge.
5. Slowly rotate the drum, ensuring the first layer of cable is evenly wound onto the drum.
6. Install the remainder of cable, as applicable. The end of the cable should be even with
the bottom of the anchor wedge.
NOTE: If the wedge does not seat securely in the slot, carefully tap the top of the
wedge with a mallet.
