WARNING
Ensure that cable clamps are positioned with
the U-bolt portion of the clamp on the
unloaded side of the lift cables (see Figure
3.29).
Tighten 1/2” cable clamp nuts to 60 ft-lbs, and
5/16” cable clamp nuts to 35 ft-lbs, as
measured by a recently and accurately
calibrated torque wrench.
Failure to tighten the nuts properly could
cause the main auger tube to drop from a
raised position quickly and without warning,
and could lead to personal injury or death.
