WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT
Reel out the old rope from the drum, loosen the rope clamp and remove the old rope.
Run end of a new rope through the hole in the drum face and attach rope clamp to the new
rope.
Leave first thread groove free and start to wind up the rope from the second thread groove.
By turning the handle then wind up the wire rope onto the drum so that the rope is reeled
from above the drum.
! WARNING
ALWAYS wind new wire rope only in above described way. Every other way of rope
winding can cause malfunction of the brake or ratchet pawl (!), eventually higher stress to
the winch mounting fixtures and anchoring structure.
ALWAYS reel a new rope with a preload, tightly pack each coil. Slacked and criss-crossed
rope can cause considerably lower rope life.
