Ground Control Kit for Discharge Gates (Continued)

Make sure that the discharge gate is half open and wrap the cable 3-1/2 times around the discharge
gate control wheel. Note that turning the wheel clockwise will close the gate.

Secure the cable to the wheel with the cable clamp by attaching it to the approximate middle of the
3-1/2 wraps of cable. This will ensure that the gate will fully open and close without restriction from the
cable clamped to the wheel.

Make sure that the discharge gate is still half open.

Route the cable back through the right idler pulley and down to the ground control wheel.

At the ground control wheel, turn the wheel until the cable clamp is up and wrap the cable 3-1/2 times
around it.

Secure the cable clamp to the middle wrap.

Splice the ends of the cable with a cable clamp. With the discharge gate half open, the splice should be
at least 5' away from the pulleys and control wheels.

Slide the ground wheel bracket down to take up any slack in the cable and tighten in place.

Check the installation by turning the ground wheel clockwise to fully close the discharge gate and
counterclockwise to fully open the gate without any restrictions from the cable splice or the clamps on the
control wheels.

If the rotation is wrong, then reverse the direction of the 3-1/2 wraps on the ground control wheel.
