cable assembly that can be ordered with the STEEL DAVIT CRANE
by OZ Lifting Products LLC
®
will come with a swaged ball on one end to facilitate easy assembly.
Standard bare end cable can also be used. The hardware for bare end cable installation is included.
Please refer to the accompanying winch owner’s manual for instructions on installing a bare end cable.
To install the OZ Lifting Products LLC
®
supplied cable:
1. Lay the cable out on a at surface to ensure it is not knotted or looped.
2. Locate the ball end of the cable.
3. Locate the “keyhole” in the winch drum that accepts the ball end of the cable.
4. Thread the ball end of the cable over the load sheave pulley and towards the winch.
5. Insert the ball end tting of the cable into the “keyhole” feature in the winch.
6. Ensure that the ball end of the cable slides into the slot in the “keyhole” and cannot be pulled out.
7. Manually spool at least 4 full wraps of cable onto the winch drum. There must be at least 4 full
anchor wraps of cable on the winch drum at all times.
8. Install cable-retainer pin by inserting into holes at the tip of the boom.
NOTE: To ensure the maximum amount of cable can be spooled onto the winch, the cable must
be neatly spooled onto the winch drum. If the cable is not spooled neatly onto the winch drum, the
cable capacity will be reduced and handle effort may increase. Cable that is not spooled neatly can
consume 30% more space on the winch drum, reducing cable capacity.
