wire rope to the last 5 wraps on the drum, then
power in the wire rope under a load of 500 lb.
[ 227 kg ] or more. This will stretch new wire
rope and create a good wire wrap around the
drum. Failure to do so will result in the outer
wire wraps drawing into the inner wraps, binding,
and damaging the wire rope.

Thanks...that is good information.
