GENERAL
This section provides procedures for installing the hoist
cable on the hoist drum, cable reeving, and erecting and
stowing the boom extension.
INSTALLING CABLE ON THE HOIST
NOTE: The cable should preferably be straightened before
installation on the hoist drum.
Install cable on the hoist drum in accordance with the
following procedure.
1. Position the cable over the boom nose sheave and route
to the hoist drum.
2. Position the hoist drum with the cable anchor slot on top.
3. Insert the cable through the slot and position around the
anchor wedge (1) (Figure 4-1).
NOTE: The end of the cable should be even with the
bottom of the slot for the anchor wedge.
4. Position the anchor wedge in the drum slot; pull firmly on
the free end (2) of the cable to secure the wedge.
5. Slowly rotate the drum, ensuring the first layer of cable is
evenly wound onto the drum.
6. Install the remainder of the cable, as applicable.
NOTE: If the wedge does not seat securely in the slot,
carefully tap (3) the top of the wedge with a mallet.
CAUTION
If cable is wound from the storage drum, the reel should
be rotated in the same direction as the hoist.
