NOTE

To ensure that the Rope is tensioned from the Din Wedge for layering, attach the Rope end

to a mobile load.

To avoid rotary tension, connect the Rope end to the mobile load using a swivel

connection.

(6)

Operate the winch slowly and ensure that the rope (2) is fed onto the winch drum (1) neatly

in layers.

(7)

When the fitted eye end of the rope (2) approaches the fixed pulley, disconnect the eye

end from the mobile load.

(8)

Manually tension the rope at the free eye end and withdraw the shoot bolts (4) that connect

the lower pulley block (5) to the far bank carriage.

(9)

Lower the far bank carriage lower pulley block (5) and support it on a suitable cradle.

(10)

Remove the rope guide nearest the home bank carriage in the far bank carriage lower

pulley block by removing 2-cap head screws. See unit maintenance procedure 5-068. This

permits the eye end on the rope to pass through.

(11)

Feed the eye end of the rope (2) up through the lower pulley block (5), taking care the rope

does not become tangled with the slings, and refit the rope guide.

(12)

Secure the rope (2) to the rope termination point (6) on the far bank carriage using the pin

(9), locking plate (8) and cap head screws (7).

(13)

Raise the lower pulley block (5) by operating the winch (10) and attach the lower pulley

block (5) to the far bank carriage using the shoot bolts (4).
