Feed cable through opening in drum flange until it extends
outside cable pocket 2 to 4 inches.
Insert partially assembled anchor (Items 1, 2, 3) into the
cable pocket with flat side of Item 1 against the drum
flange. The anchor will wedge between the cable and the
top of the cable pocket.
Working from the other end of the cable pocket, install
Item 4 onto the threaded rod. Be sure to place the flat side
of Item 4 against the drum flange, then install the rounded
end onto the threaded rod first so the washer (Item 5) and
–– 7 ––
locknut (Item 6) will seat against the flat end.
Install the washer and locknut onto the threaded rod and
tighten securely to 45 ft-lbs. (This is the torque value of the
1/2-13 stainless-steel rod).
Apply a light load of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds on the cable
and carefully spool it onto the drum. Retighten the nut
again to 45 ft-lbs. As previously stated in the warning on
preceding page, the cable anchor is not designed to hold
the rated load of the hoist. DO NOT apply full rated load
until five or more wraps of cable are on the drum.
