6.7 Winch cable replacement
It may sometimes be necessary to replace the winch cable. Under normal use, the cable
will last the life of the message sign. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced.
The cable replacement procedure requires removing the old cable and running a new
one through the tower, connecting it to the cable pin at the bottom and the winch at
the top. Instructions are provided with the cable replacement kit.
If the winch cable broke due to stress of having the mast hitch pin engaged while
operating the winch, then it is likely the cable pin is also damaged. Using a flashlight,
inspect the cable pin, which is located at the bottom of the mast under the trailer. If the
pin is bent or in poor condition, it must be replaced.
To order a cable replacement kit, contact the Wanco Service Department (see
Section 1.4, “Where to obtain service,” page 2).
