FASTENING THE CABLE TO THE DRUM
1. Tape the cable end to prevent loosening of the
core wires.
2. Pass the cable through the hole in cable guard, over
the upper snatch block and then inside the winch.
3. Insert the cable from behind the roll of the drum
brake.
4. Pull the cable onto the drum from the left hand side
(the same side as the clutch lever).
5. Pass the cable end through the hole in the drum
plate, pull about 15 cm (6"), and insert under the
wedge of the cable lock device. See fig. 3.
6. Tighten the cable lock screw.
7. Winch the cable on the drum. BUT REMEMBER
THAT THE CABLE HAS TO BE LOADED HEAVILY,
WHEN WINCHING THE CABLE BACK ON THE DRUM.
Fig. 3. Fastening the cable
Do not use longer cable than needed. With
correct length you achieve good pulling strength and
proper winding of the cable.
