control of the capstan in case of emergency.
Take several turns of the warping line around the
drum and pull on the rope tail with sufficient manual
force to provide good grip of the line to the drum,
whilst operating the footswitch. Make sure the drum
is operated in the same direction as the line is
wrapped around it.
Do not engage more turns on the drum than are
necessary to accomplish the task. Whilst docking,
wind and tide can impose sudden and excessive line
tension. It is recommended to allow slipping to occur
at the drum. This will protect the capstan, docking
lines and vessel from damage.
!
Take care not to allow “riding turns”. This is
caused by the loaded line climbing on top of lower
loaded coils on the drum. A riding turn can only
be removed by paying the line out to the point
where the riding turn is created.
