4.4.1. COILING THE WIRE ROPE TIGHTLY ONTO THE DRUM First, uncoil the wire rope completely and check its quality. Afterwards pull the black string 11 and coil up the wire rope onto the drum (Figure: 4). Pay attention to coil the first five coils using minimum force and the rest of the wire rope using higher force.
Page 13: Setting The Wire Rope Release Power
4.5. SETTING THE WIRE ROPE RELEASE POWER (Figure: 9) The wire rope release power must be set correctly, so the drum stops immediately after releasing the wire rope. This prevents the wire rope on the drum from releasing by itself. Set the wire rope release power using the wing nut 41 (Figure: 9).
