ANCHOR WOOD PAD / WINCH TO WALL
3. Before installing wood pad/winch assembly to
wall, verify exact location of winch with
owner or architect. In determining the exact
winch location, the following must be
considered:
The operator must have a clear view of
the equipment he/she is operating.
Anticipate path of cable between winch
and pulley(s). Structural members, lights,
ducts, drain pipes, etc. are potential
obstacles.
The path of the cable cannot cause it to
contact any part of the backstop mast
during the folding cycles.
Extensive cable travel will require
additional idler pulleys to support the
cable run.
Refer to separate installation manual supplied
with backstops, etc. for supplemental
information on winch location, cable routing,
etc.
4. Anchor wood pad/winch assembly (from Step
No. 2) to wall, using one of three suggested
anchor detail methods shown in Detail "C".
See Detail "B" for anchor spacing on wood
pad. Consult with architect or engineer to
verify wall capacity and to select appropriate
connections.
5. As an alternate, the winch can be mounted to
the face of a steel column (not shown).

SECURE CABLE TO WINCH DRUM
6. Route end of cable through hole in the winch drum and secure with set screw. Note that cable must be taped before cutting to
prevent the cable end from fraying. Be sure to route cable in the UNDERWIND direction as detailed on Page 1. THERE
MUST BE A MINIMUM OF THREE (3) WRAPS OF CABLE ON THE DRUM WITH THE BACKSTOP IN THE
"DOWN" POSITION.
7. Test winch for proper operation. Install winch cover to wood pad, using four (4) #14 x 3/4" lg. sheet metal screws provided with
winch. See detail on Page 1.
8. Refer to Maintenance note on Page 8.
9. Demonstrate operation of manual winch to customer. Emphasize safety precautions and maintenance requirements as detailed on
Pages 7 and 8.

WARNING
READ ALL WARNINGS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURIES AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This manual winch develops tremendous forces. Therefore, all backstops and divider curtains should be operated only by qualified
personnel, to avoid structural damage or possible injury to the operator and other individuals in the gymnasium.
Caution should be taken at all times for safety reasons, keeping the following guidelines in mind:
1. This winch is to be operated only by a trained adult.
2. Keep the area under the backstop or divider curtain (floor and bleachers) clear of all individuals when raising or lowering the
units.
3. Stop upward travel of backstop or divider curtain BEFORE contact with ceiling or support structure occurs.
4. Do NOT allow cable to become slack.
5. Operating handles or portable electric winch operators must be in the possession of responsible, trained personnel at all times.
6. Periodically inspect winch, cable, pulleys, safety straps, and all attachment points of stress for any signs of looseness, wear or
fatigue. Repair or replace immediately.
7. Inspect gear set every 3 to 4 months; and lubricate gears liberally with Pyroshield#5182 grease.
8. IMPORTANT – Drive shaft must turn clockwise (as shown on label) when backstop or divider curtain is being hoisted, in
order to place thrust against roller bearing. OPERATING THIS WINCH IN REVERSE WILL CREATE BINDING,
UNDUE WEAR, AND POSSIBLE WINCH FAILURE.
9. It is highly recommended that a safety strap mechanism be used on any backstop or divider curtain that operates over a
spectator bleacher. Consult factory or your local Porter dealer for details, if this unit was not included on the original
installation.
THE OWNER OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. PROPER USE AND
SUPERVISION OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO HELP REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENTS OR
INJURIES.
WARNING
IMPROPER USE, INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, PARALYSIS OR DEATH TO THOSE IN THE
VICINITY OF THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
Use of Porter winches on products other than basketball backstops and gymnasium divider curtains is EXPRESSLY
PROHIBITED.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect this winch every three to four months. Check the gears for excessive wear or binding. Replace worn or defective parts as
necessary. Lubricate gears liberally, with Pyroshield#5182 grease.
