UNIT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Winch Cable Removal: The side wing of the CK must be in the lowered position to
remove/replace the winch cable. If the cable is badly damaged, other support for the wing shall
be used as a backup for the winch cable. Follow the CK setup procedures to open the side
wing.
________
CAUTION
A damaged cable may break and let the wing fall without warning causing injury to
personnel and damage to equipment. Use nylon straps and appropriate lifting device to
support the wing. Do not use the prongs on a forklift as support as they may damage the
wing.
WARNING
Use protective safety leather gloves when handling the winch cable.
Winch Cable Removal:
NOTE
Two people are required for the Winch Cable Removal Procedure.
Open the top and bottom access panels for the cable pulleys and winch assembly, located
inside the CK and to the left of the personnel access door. One person will use the winch handle
to unwind the winch cable from the reel by turning the handle in the direction of lowering the
wing as indicated by the decal on the winch handle socket. A second person outside (on the
ground at the end of the lowered wing nearest the personnel door) will pull and keep tension on
the cable until it is wound off the reel. Coil the cable on the ground as neatly as possible to
avoid kinking the cable. A cable keeper attaches the cable to the winch reel. Turn the winch
handle and position the reel so the cable keeper nuts are at the top.
NOTE
Observe the routing of the cable to aid in reassembly.
Remove the cable keeper nuts on the winch reel. Pull the cable free from the reel and have the
person outside the CK slowly pull the cable outside the CK while guiding the cable through the
cable pulleys.
One person moves to the Mechanical Room end of the wing and pulls the cable from the wing
floor cable tube. The other person (at the opposite end) guides the cable through the wing floor
cable tube. Coil the cable on the ground as neatly as possible by the Mechanical Room.
