Suspension System
Power Winch Installation
1. Bolt the Power Winch, fully assembled, to a 2 x 8" (50 x 200 mm) board or other fixture that will span at
least 3 rafters. The brake mechanism will protrude on one side.
For feeder lines over 350 feet (106 m), install a 2985 Cable Hook between the mounting bolt and Power Winch
frame, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Attach the 2 x 8" (50 x 200 mm) board, with the Power Winch secured, to the ceiling at the center of the
feeder line. The 2 x 8" (50 x 200 mm) or other fixture must be parallel to the line and must span at least 3
rafters or other fixture.
If the hopper is located at the center of the feeder line, locate the Power Winch a few feet offset from the center
of the feeder line.
3. Extend the 3/16" (5 mm) cable the full length of the feeder line. Attach the cable temporarily to the ceiling
with nails, staples, or some type of fastener.
4. Wrap the cable through the winch drum relief located near the bottom of the drum. Tighten the set screw to
anchor the cable to the drum, see figure 10.
5. Turn the winch drum one full revolution. Guide the cable against the flange at the bottom of the winch drum.
The cable must not wrap over itself on the drum, but should be wrapped as close as possible to each previous
wrap, see figure 10.
Drop Installation
1. Attach a 3004 Pulley to each hook.
2. Thread the end of the 3/32" cable through the pulley toward the winch. Clamp this end to the 3/16" winch
cable about 6" (150 mm) from the pulley, using a 3/16" cable clamp, see figure 6.
3. Cut the cable long enough to allow for installation to the feeder line and to the Adjustment Leveler.
Sufficient cable is included to provide "throwbacks" on drops located beneath and near the winch. See
Figure 3 (on page 13), Detail D shows a "throwback" cable arrangement.
4. Begin installing suspension drops at the winch and proceed to the ends of the feeder line.
Keep the main cable tight between drops. It may be necessary to hang a weight on the end of the main cable
to maintain tension.
