USE

The XT winch is designed for the recovery of a maneuver (halyard, sheet or other line). 

To use the winch, wind the maneuver with at least four turns around the drum of the 

winch. After winding to the drum, the maneuver must enter through the ST arm between 

the two self-regulating disks. In case of slippage of the maneuver, increase the number 

of turns on the drum.

Diameter of the maneuver in the self-tailing

The lower disk of the self-tailing automatically adapts to the diameter of the maneuver. 

The movement of the disk is limited to a certain range of diameters for each winch. 

Lower diameters than those allowed can cause slippage of the maneuver. Conversely, 

larger diameters may damage the self-tailing. Refer to the table of the models to know 

the minimum and maximum diameters of maneuvers for each winch. 

Use of the winch

. All XTs are self-tailing winches and therefore require the sole action 

of the handle for the recovery of the maneuver. To operate the first power (high speed) 

insert the handle at the top of the winch, then turn it counterclock wise. To operate the 

second speed (high power), invert the rotation of the handle and turn clockwise.

INSTALLATION

Installation

 is the responsibility of professional personnel. The installer must ensure the 

good state of the deck where the winch is to be installed. Antal assumes no responsibility 

for an incorrect installation of the winch.

Warning

: an incorrect installation of the winch may cause injuries or damages to things. 

In case of doubt on how to properly install the winch, contact specialized personnel.

Respect the two following principles for the correct installation of the winch on the deck. 

Position of the winch on the deck and Placement of the skirt. Only after you have applied 

these two principles, procede with installation.
