manual operation the locking pawl should be first engaged into the gypsy, this stops the gypsy from running
back wards, the clutch should be released marginally by turning in an anti-clockwise direction. Now the gypsy is
free to turn and the manual override handle can be moved in a clockwise direction to engage the gypsy, when
pulling in an anti-clockwise direction the MOR pawl will engage and drive the gypsy retrieving the chain, as the
handle is moved clockwise the weight will be taken by the locking pawl.
Rope/Chain Management System (RCMS)
Optional chain pipe kits (with pipe, special 180 degree stripper and spring loaded finger are available. The rope
finger pawl guides the rope and chain around the gypsy and through this special chain pipe.
The standard chain pipe with its integral stripper is normally supplied when otherwise specified or ordered by the

slipping) refer to the procedure below.
Procedure:
1.
Loosen the grub screw on the chain pipe with an Allen key for finger adjustment.
