Operator`s manual

Thread the left Section 3 Extension Cable as indicated in Figure 4-13 and fasten one end of the

cable to the left cable attaching bracket on Section 1. Thread the locking nuts on the ferrule, only

until the end of the ferrule is flush with the end of the second nut. Extend the Second Section of the

ladder, using the ladder hydraulics, until the rungs of the Section 2 exactly coincide with the rungs

of Section 1. Pull the Section 3 Extension Cable tight and thread the ferrule through the cable

attaching bracket on Section 3 of the ladder. Adjust the locking nuts on each end of the cable until

the rungs of Section 3 exactly coincide with the rungs of Sections 2 and 1.

8.8.2 Replacing the Retracting Cable

With the ladder hydraulics, extend the ladder to full extension. Thread the Retraction Cable as

described in para. 4.2.3 (see Figure 4-14). Attach the threaded ferrule to Section 3 Compensator

with the end of the ferrule flush with the second locking nut. Pry the Compensator with a pry bar

until half of the available adjustment is taken up and block in this position.

Employ two persons to pull the cable as tight as possible towards the Extension Hoist drums while a

third person puts two wraps of cable, clockwise, on the right-hand drum and fastens tne curved

ferrule to the flange of the drum with attaching bolts.

Release the tension on the Compensator and then tighten the locking nuts on the ends of the

threaded ferrules until half of the Compensator adjustment is again taken up. If there is not

sufficient adjustment available on the ferrules to tighten the Compensator, block it once again, pull

the cable tighter and advance the curved flange on the drum.
