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.
