B1140 Winch 29
Installation
The winch needs to be disassembled before being installed. Follow the disassembling procedure described in the chapter
on Maintenance, using the tools specified there. Remove the drum assembly and the drum support. Once the drum support
has been removed and the base of the winch can be accessed, installation on the deck can begin.
DANGER!:
When deciding how to place the winch, make sure the entry angle of the sheet is not parallel
to the base of the winch, for this would lead to turns of the sheet overlapping, risking serious damage to the winch itself
and putting the crew in danger. An angle of 8° between the sheet and the base of the winch will avoid these dangerous
overlaps.
Avoid the following:
!
8°
Correct entry path for the sheet, at an angle of 8°.
Fig. 22
Incorrect angle of entry of more than 8°.
The sheet may chafe on the base of the winch.
