Installing the Cable
The OZ Lifting Products LLC® cable assembly that can be ordered with the CompOZite-Elite Davit Crane
may come with a swaged ball on one end to facilitate easy assembly. Standard bare end cable can also
be used. The hardware for bare end cable installation is included. Please refer to the accompanying winch
owner's manual for instructions on installing a bare end cable.
To install the OZ Lifting Products LLC® supplied cable:
1. Lay the cable out on a flat surface to ensure it is not knotted or looped.
2. Remove the cable retainer pin from the sheave end of the boom.
3. Locate the ball end of the cable.
4. Locate the "keyhole" in the winch drum that accepts the ball end of the cable.
5. Thread the ball end of the cable over the load sheave pulley and towards the winch.
6. Re-insert the cable retainer pin.
7. Insert the ball end fitting of the cable into the "keyhole" feature in the winch.
8. Ensure that the ball end of the cable slides into the slot in the "keyhole" and cannot be pulled out.
9. Manually spool at least 4 full wraps of cable neatly onto the winch drum. There must be at least
4 full anchor wraps of cable on the winch drum at all times.
NOTE: To ensure the maximum amount of cable can be spooled onto the winch, the cable must be neatly
spooled onto the winch drum. If the cable is not spooled neatly onto the winch drum, the cable capacity
will be reduced, and handle effort may increase. Cable that is not spooled neatly can consume 30% more
space on the winch drum, reducing cable capacity.
