Cables broke


Both cables broke on my drywall lift. One I got from Harbor Freight, has worked well until I over loaded it.

Can't figure out how the cables are "routed". Called manufacturer but they downloaded an owners manuel and parts breakdown, no help!

Any ideas and no I do not want to buy another one and yes it was cheap!

Re: Cables broke


I tried the cheap ones also untill I got sick of them busting. I got smart and got an us made telpro. If the wheel or pully in yours is plastic replace it with one from telpro.
