1. Before doing anything, make sure you are working from a secure
perch where you can safely move your Apollo lasher without
overreaching. This is extremely important.
See section 4.6 for more information on terminating lashing wire.
2. Clamp the lashing wire to the strand.
3. To pull a length of lashing wire from the Apollo lasher without rotating
the drum, actuate the de-clutch lever and pull out enough lashing wire
from your machine so you can terminate it with a clamp or continue lash-
ing past the obstruction.
4. Attach one of the lasher bridle snap hooks to a lasher towing eye on the
front of the machine.
5. Now pass the bridle under the strand, past the obstruction and attach the
other snap hook to another lasher pulling eye.
6. Open the front gate by actuating the
release lever towards the front of the
lashing machine. The roller on the front
gate will pivot 180 degrees and out of
the way.
7. Open the rear gate making sure it is
fully open in the detented position.
8. Open both the front and rear strand
locks by pulling up on the release knob.
There should be an audible “click” when
the locks travel from the locked position
to the open position.
