Using the hoist line
Maintain tension on the hoisting grip during hoisting. Loss of tension can cause
dangerous movement of the cable and result in injury or death to personnel on or
near the tower. Also, do not release tension on the grip until after the cable has
been fastened to the tower members.
Attach the hoist line to the grip (Figure 77). Tie the cable leader to the hoist line so that
the leader does not dangle. Apply tension slowly to the hoist line, allowing the hoisting
grip to tighten uniformly on the cable. Hoist the main IF cable up to the ODU.
Figure 77 Using the hoist line
When the cable is in position, fasten the grip handle to a tower member and remove the
hoist line.
