ROPE INSTALLATION
The Ramsey Model H-89 Dow-Lok
®
winch has two tapered pockets cast into the drum.
One pocket is for installation with the wire rope wound over the drum. The other pocket is
for an underwound wire rope.
1. Slide the wire rope through narrow end of the pocket against the drum flange.
2. Wrap the wire rope around the anchor "puck" and pull the wire rope and anchor back
into the wide end of the pocket.
3. Use a soft hammer to drive the back side of the wire rope, firmly seating the wire rope
and anchor into the pocket.
The wire rope can easily be removed from the drum by driving the anchor out the wide end
of the pocket. While keeping tension on end of rope, carefully run the winch in the "reel-in"
direction spooling all the rope onto the rope drum. Take care to form neatly wrapped
layers.
