8.8 CABLE REPLACEMENT
If it is necessary to replace a cable, ensure the correct size and type is employed. Start with a cable the
same length as the one being replaced and with appropriate fittings attached (refer to Part 3, Parts List).
8.8.1 Replacing Extension Cables
With the ladder retracted thread the left Section 2 Extension Cable through the pulleys of the ladder
as described in para. 4.2.2 (see Figure 4-11). Insert the threaded ferrule on the end of the
Extension Cable through the cable attaching bracket welded to Section 1 of the ladder. Thread the
two locking nuts onto the ferrule until the end of the ferrule is flush with the end of the second nut.
Elevate the ladder, to provide working room, and employ two persons to pull the cable tight toward
the Extension Hoist drums. A third person is required to wrap the cable twice around the left
extension drum as described in para. 4.2.2 (see Figure 4-12) and with the cable pulled as tight as
possible fasten the curved ferrule to the flange of the cable drum with the attaching bolts.
Repeat the procedure with the right Extension Cable, taking care that both cables receive equal
tension.
