Follow the drawing and not the instructions that came with or their updated ones. I made the mistake and dont have the patience to reeve it again... =>:-<

Reeving= frustration! At least for me in cookie crawlers. My 1600 is still in the box since last year.

The other thing to make it easy to reve is put a piece of blank white paper behind it so you don't get lost in the mix.

That diagram pretty much explains it all right there. The more I study the diagram the easier it looks (looks can be deceiving)

Left: 1--16, right 0-1--16. The big arrows after 16 go to the winchdrum.  Thank you Victor

Greetings All! Just received my LR1600 last night and got right to work reeving the A-Frame. Though I managed to muck something up, these instructions make far more sense than the included ones, and am excited at the prospect of having a balanced draw on the A-Frame, without having to draw the entire length of rope through each pulley. Anyone have any recommendations for lubricating the pulleys? I think some are rubbing excessively on my machine, and suspect it may be contributing to the issue I am having with reeving. I was thinking of sewing machine oil... Also want to express my gratitude to those of you who continue to go out of their way to support us less-experienced folks (Victor, Paul R, and Ian in particular). For those who have successfully reeved this monster (or any other of similar complexity), I salute you! o7 Now to watch the clock tick away the work day so I can return home and master this magnificent beast! P.S. Avoid the temptation to rest the A-Frame on the Erection cylinders while reeving... That was my first mistake

WD40 works great. Need a tiny bit and it rolls fine.
