From the Fulton K2550 winch instructions. Useful for other how to's too.
‡ "Always maintain a minimum of three (3) complete wraps of cable or
rope on the drum"
This supports Ron's note. This is cable wraps, not layers.

Somewhere I read that there should be a minimum of 2 layers of steel cable
on a hand winch drum before the winch starts to pick up the load. Can any
one confirm. I will be raising a US Tower MA40 mast from horizontal to
vertical. Thanks & 73 Ron W8RJL
