6.0 OPERATION PROCEDURE
C. Feed the loose end of the lashing wire thru the
guide bushing. D. Circle the wire around the friction drive wheel about
3/4 turn.
E. Wrap the wire around the wire guide tension roller
once to secure the wire and prevent it from unraveling
while moving it into place on the strand for lashing.
B. Cut the loop off of the end of the inside and outside
of the wire. Pull off about 3’ (1m) of wire from the outside
end of the coil. Place the (c) coil on the exposed hub so
the free end pays out counterclockwise. Replace the wire
spool flange (d) loosely by turning it in a counter clock-
wise direction.
