injury can result if the cable breaks.

Feed rope or cable through one of the holes in the wheel.
Fasten rope or cable to wheel hub.
Anchor the other end of rope or cable (para 4-6).
Use reverse gear and let the rope/cable wind between the dual wheels to give the
same action as a winch.

procedures as necessary.
