Prepare the end of the wire rope as recommended by
the wire rope manufacturer. Insert the free end of the
wire rope through the opening in the drum flange. Push
the wire rope into the anchor pocket until the end of the
wire rope is even with the outer edge of the pocket.
Install the set screws and tighten until the wire rope
deforms under the set screws and the wire rope is held
securely. Apply a light load of approximately 500 lb.
(227 kg) to the wire rope as the new wire rope is wound
onto the cable drum.
The set screw anchor system is designed for use only
with 9/16 - 5/8 in. (14-16 mm) wire rope.
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
The set screw wire rope anchor system is not capa-
ble of supporting the rated load. Always MAINTAIN a
minimum of five wraps of wire rope on the cable
drum. If the wire rope is fully reeled out, the wire rope
may slip out of the drum causing a loss of load con-
trol which may result in property damage, injury or
death. We suggest that the last 5-6 wraps of wire
rope be painted bright red to serve as a visual warn-
ing.
