3. Move the lasher forward or backward along the strand
until the drum locks.

towing eye on the front of the machine. Now pass the
bridle under the strand, past the obstruction and attach
the other snap hook to another lasher pulling eye.

clockwise to disengage it from the strand.
6. Raise the lasher from the strand and transfer the
machine to the strand in the next span following the
instructions beginning in step 5 of the preceding section.
Instructions for over-lashing
When lashing a cable or cables to an existing cable the
same procedure is followed with one exception. The strand
tension roller assembly should be removed so as not to
interfere with existing lasher cable. This is a simple proce-
dure which should only be attempted while on the ground
and working on a suitably stable work surface.
