For the number of winding loops per side, please refer to chart: 12” = 7 loops per side on handle 14” = 8 loops per side on handle 16” = 9 loops per side on handle 22” = 10 loops per side on handle Once you are done winding on one side, bring the rope under to the other side and do the same process.
