Any cable defect mandates cable replacement.
Replace cable in accordance with WP 0016 00.
CAUTION
A tenth cable iteration, when previous nine have
been less than 250-600 pounds at full extension,
may cause bird caging 18-24 inches from hook
cable ball.
NOTES
Continuously extending and retracting same
length of cable during daily inspections and
mission operations with either no loads or
loads less than 250-600 pounds could cause
bird caging.
To prevent personal injury and ensure
inspection procedures are accomplished, do
not operate hoist cable speed in excess of 20
feet per minute.
A cable change can be avoided by performing
two full cable extensions using a load greater
than 250-600 pounds.
A cable reseat shall be accomplished prior to
a tenth hoist operation after nine operations of
less than 250-600 pounds at full extension.
During Post-Flight Operations maximum length of cable
used during last mission shall be inspected and cleaned
using a low-lint cloth. With a gloved-hand, hold cloth
firmly around cable and simultaneously clean and
inspect cable for defects while retracting.
While cleaning cable, look for indications of broken
wires, flat spots, abrasions, and worn sections of outer
strands, see WP 0012 00. This may indicate cable
misrouting or misalignment. Align winch drum in
accordance with WP 0024 00.
