After correcting any defects revealed by in-
spection and determining that the winch is in
good operating condition, spool cable (refer
to Chapter 4, Section V, Wire Rope Instruc-
tions, page 4-28).
Place a pipe or bar through the reel center.
Mount the cable shipping reel with the bar
horizontal on jacks or a suitable supporting
structure (Figure 2-5).
Draw the cable from the top of the reel, in
order to avoid reverse bending as it is spooled
onto the winch drum.

CAUTION
I
Loops formed by overrun can
cause kinks and dog legs in the
cable, resulting in damage and
premature cable failure.
8. Apply braking force to the reel flange to
prevent overrun as the cable is being drawn
off.
9. Using a timber or block, apply force against
the shipping reel flange to provide the re-
quired breaking force.
Installing Cab Ie on Winch
