3.9. CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Loop cable over top of drum, through hole in drum end, through cable clamp,
and then tighten with two 3/8” set screws (Figure 3.12).
Important: Cable must enter winch on the top side of drum and must have a minimum of 3
wraps on the drum when auger is in the transport position.

2. Thread lift cable under and around roller on track shoe then back to the cable-
attach rod welded to lower end of track (Figure 3.11).
Note: On augers equipped with a lower angle-iron track stop, the cable must be
threaded between track stop and auger tube so the cable rests on top of the
track stop (Figure 3.11).
3. Wrap cable 1-1/2 times around the cable attach rod and secure with two

1/4” cable clamps. Position cable clamps as shown (Figure 3.11). Tighten
cable clamps securely.
4. Rotate drum until cable is taut. Ensure drum is rotating in direction shown in
Figure 3.11 when raising auger.
5. Tie up winch motor hydraulic hose as needed to prevent damage to the hose.
6. Check gearbox for oil—make certain it is half full.
