7) Press the “UP” button on the Pendant to wind the Wire Rope onto the Drum. Use protective gloves to
keep the Wire Rope constantly taut and well placed in the Drum grooves, letting the Wire Rope wind
around for at least 10 times (see Figure 6-25).
8) Without loosening the tension on the Wire Rope, clamp a weight onto the Wire Rope below the Rope
Guide, taking care not to damage the Wire Rope. Replacing the manual tension with the weight will
prevent the Wire Rope from unrolling off the Drum (see Figure 6-26).
9) Place both Rope Guide Ring Halves (P) and (Q) together on the Drum. Insert the Screws (V) and the
Springs (W) and tighten the Lock Nuts (X) until the Springs are partially collapsed, taking care not to
over-tighten the Springs, keeping the whole Rope Guide System elastic. Make sure at least 2 threads
protrude past the Lock Nuts (X) (see Figure 6-27).
