USE OF THE CAPSTAN
MZ Electronic S.r.l. recommends all warping operations be controlled by the footswitch. That makes it a one-person
operation and offers better 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.
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, which it is often recommended to be managed by allowing slip to occur at
the drum. This will protect the capstan, docking lines and vessel from damage.
