If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of fraying, it must be replaced before being used again. To do this, remove the defective rope by free spooling. Remove the bolt M8x10 on the drum and release the rope. Insert the end of the new rope and secure the M8 x 10 mm bolt tightly.
