Fitting the replacement tube is the reverse of the removal process. With the new tube in place over
the line follow that with the tapered grommet, tapered end first. Getting the grommet over the
suspension loop can be made easier by passing a light line (eg. cotton thread) through the grommet,
through the line's loop then back through the grommet: this enables the bulky loop to be pulled
through the grommet.
With the grommet just clear of the line's loop advance the tube’s gland over it and tighten. Whilst
tightening the gland continue to press the grommet into it.
3.5 Power Supply
The winch is supplied with a 10m power cable. The power cable should be routed safely to a suitable
230v single phase source and terminated either directly into a switched disconnect or in a suitable
plug. The cable should be protected with a 6 amp fuse or circuit breaker. For operator safety ensure
that all applicable requirements for neutral-earth bonding have been followed when installing the
power cable.
The power connector on the winch has a bayonet locking ring which should be fully rotated to lock the
connector into place and to ensure a watertight seal. Avoid forceful insertion of the power connector
into the receptacle; this can easily damage the plastic bayonet latches on the locking ring.
Conductor colours used in the supplied power cable
The winch will monitor the voltage of the AC supply every second to ensure it is within the range
200-255v
. If the supply exceeds these values, a warning will be displayed to the user. If this warning
appears, the user should power down the system and rectify the voltage supply issue before
restarting the system.
