Grip as shown here.
2. Ratchet the hoist until the cable is
lined up with the dead-end fixture.
3. After the tension is approximately where
it will need to be after termination,
ratchet the hoist a couple more times
to accommodate for tension loss
after hoist removal. Consult cable
specifications to ensure the maximum
cable tension is not exceeded.
4. When finished, break the tension using the hoist handle, then use either the handle or drum knob to continue releasing the tension.
