Installing Wire Rope
For safety purposes, Beta Max, Inc. will only provide complete wire rope kits for
replacing factory-installed wire rope on your hoist. The wire rope kit includes one
nonterminated end for threading into hoist drum and one finished end with
cableweight, hook, and proper termination. Beta Max, Inc. also provides both
Nicopress
wire rope into the drum.
1. Remove the old wire rope from the hoist and discard properly.
2. Thread the nonterminated end of the new wire rope kit through the UP limit
bar.
3. Slide the nonterminated end of the wire rope through the small hole in the front
end of the drum and pull the rope through the side cavity hole of the drum.
4. If using Nicopress
of the wire rope and crimp three times with a crimping tool. A properly
crimped sleeve, when finished, should measure 0.580 inch (14.73 mm) in
diameter.
5. If a crimping tool is not available, use the two 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) wire rope
saddle clips on the nonterminated end of the wire rope.
6. Push either the Nicopress
the drum and pull the wire rope tight.
7. Hold the wire rope with a gloved hand (while keeping tension on the rope) and
press the hoist UP push button. Guide the rope, while pressing the UP push
button, to smoothly and evenly spool the wire rope onto the drum.
WARNING
Never place your hand or fingers between the UP limit bar and the hoist drum.
8. When the wire rope is properly spooled onto the drum, the cableweight and
hook should hang just below the UP limit bar.
NOTE: Never allow the wire rope to unspool leaving less than three wraps of wire
rope on the drum.
