Question 1617Deck General70% to pass
When taking a length of new manila rope from the coil, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) lay the coil on end with the inside end down, then pull the inside end up through the middle of the coil.
This is the correct method because it allows the rope to feed off the inside of the coil, which minimizes twisting and kinking as the rope is pulled out. Pulling from the outside of the coil (option A) can lead to twisting, while rolling the coil (option D) can also cause kinking. Option C of mounting the coil to turn like a spool is not the recommended technique for handling a new manila rope coil.
