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

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.
