7.10 Steel Cable ReAlignment
In the unlikely event that the steel cable is twisted, it can be realigned within minutes with the-
se easy to follow steps.
Open the winch cover and check if the steel cable overlaps at
any point. If this is similar to the picture on the right, follow
the next simple steps to realign it.
Place an object under the turntable platform (it could be
chocks, the nose wheel adapters of the units or a pallet jack)
so that the platform lowers and rests on it. This will release
the tension of the steel cable on the winch drum.
Once the tension of the steel cable is released, you can bring
the steel cable back to its original position with a screwdriver
or similar tool. Then hold it in position and move the turn-
table platform back to the upper position using the remote
control. On the way up, the steel cable will regain its tension.
After this procedure the steel cable should run perfectly on
the winch drum again. This check should be carried out at
regular intervals, which can be found in the maintenance
schedule.
