Has any one had challenges with the cable winding incorrectly? Alternatively can the wire rope be replaced with a web strap?

Wouldn't it be great if the wire rope always rewound in a nice neat fashion? Unfortunately, they never do, and neither does this Grizzly.. I have no idea if you can replace the rope with a web strap.

Yes, if the cable is given any kind of slack (it should always remain taut) it can double back on you and wind up going the wrong direction. In my application I used some duct tape (on the cable spindle) to keep the cable from going slack since I know how many feet I need to wind/unwind. Re: question 2 - I would think that would invalidate the warranty on the rated lift capability of the hoist.

I have a similar Rockwood. I didn't need to replace the cable, but I would suggest inspecting it to make sure it's in good condition.

Yes, I had my cover stolen. I replaced the cord supplied with SS cable. I put a loop at each end and used a padlock. It works great!!! Good luck.

Hi, I got this for my son. After using it a week the center did have some broken fibers so we wrapped the center with duct tape. I am not complaining, the way the rope is used I kind of expected it to fray. Maybe in the future the company will wrap the center. Otherwise he was very happy with the rope - a good workout.

I've had mine over a year strung up. No issues yet. But by no means am I an expert.

I have tested cables up to 500 feet in length with no problems. Make sure your battery is properly seated. Also, I recommend removing the battery between uses to avoid accidentally turning on the unit and running down your battery

We have this gym for not that long but didn't have that issue as you explained. It shouldn't be twisted if installed properly from what we know. Our cable is not twisted like you mentioned. Sorry for not being very helpful to you.

I had no problem. I ordered a replacement. When it arrived, I found a video on line that showed step by step what to do. You just have to be careful with the wires. It took less than an hour.

Yes. It's just poor build quality on their part. If you remove all tension from the cable there should be a point where it doesn't do that anymore.

No, the cable is not stiff enough to hold a shape and will not hold a coiling the shape on its own as shown in the picture. It is rubber, not wire. Hope that helps.

Garmin should indeed replace the cable. I've read several complaints similar to yours. If, for whatever reason, the new cable doesn't solve the problem, then most probably the fault lies within the unit.

As it happens, I did not. That having been said, the wire included is a VERY small gauge wire. I will probably replace it with a heavier wire at some point as the suppl;ied wire seems to be drooping in places where the distance between anchor points is greater than 5 feet. My installation is approx. 3 months old.

As others have said, replacing the strap is quite easy. I actually replace a cable with the strap even that operation dis not require taking the winch apart. Take your time winding the new strap on, maybe have some help keeping it tight as it goes on. I think you'll like this new strap.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I have restrung the smaller unit. I suggest you take a heavy duty wire, like electrical ones you use wiring your house. Run it through the unit as a leader and pull the string through. Don't know if this will work but it is what I did before. Good luck. Frank

Have you considered it might just be a bad cable. No matter how ridged a companies quality control is a faulty product can slip through. Have you asked twisted vines for a replacement?

You must un-screw the neck. The neck is what the rope is tied to,RegardsAPW

I used turnbuckles first, had a heavy wind and they twisted off, so went to heavy weight rope and fastened it down with redundant systems and it thus far has sailed through the winds. I am planning to take it down for our winter season and store it until next summer.
