Commissioning and operation
Capstan winch 1800, 1200, 400
Slackening the load
When pulling objects over sloping terrain, there is no risk that the load
could slip back because the pulling rope is held tight on the capstan
drum when idling.
Due to the control function of the throttle lever, it is possible to position
loads precisely, release the pulling rope tension and slacken the load.
To slacken the load:
›
Draw the pulling rope out of the rope clamp.
›
Carefully slacken the pulling rope.
Stopping the motor
Proceed as follows to stop the motor:
›
Relieve the tension of the rope in your hands.
The throttle lever springs back into the idling position.
›
Leave the motor to cool down whilst idling for a few seconds.
›
Switch the on/off switch to the “
0
” position.
The motor stops.
Adjusting the motor speed whilst idling
If the motor is idling, the capstan drum does not move.
If the motor speed is too high when idling, you can adjust this. The
motor speed when idling has been optimally set in the factory and it is
not usually necessary to change this.
In order to reduce the motor speed whilst idling:
›
Turn the set screw anticlockwise.
In order to increase the motor speed whilst idling:
›
Turn the set screw clockwise.
