WARNING
Risk of crushing when winding on the pulling rope!
When winding the pulling rope on, you can crush your fingers and
suffer serious injuries.
›
Wind the pulling rope carefully around the capstan drum.
ATTENTION
Damage to the mechanism if the pulling rope is incorrectly
drawn in!
If the individual windings of the pulling rope are overlapping when
drawn in, there is a risk that a knot will form in the pulling rope when
the capstan winch starts running and the mechanical parts will be
damaged.
›
When drawing the pulling rope around the capstan drum, make
sure that the pulling rope windings are not overlapping.
›
Wind the free pulling rope end around the rope hook with rope
deflector.
›
Wind at least 5 rope windings around the capstan drum.
