If your rope is too short
If your line is too short, connect two lines together:
1.
Fig. 1-1: Use 2 bowline knots to link your two lines together.
2.
Fig. 1-2: Allow approx. 1 m (3') of line to exceed the knot of the
line pulling the load. This length of line will be used for pulling
when the knot is undone.
3.
Fig. 2: Stop the winch before the knots reach the winch; they
will not be able to pass through and the line will become tangled.
4.
Release the tension in the line.
Attach the load to a fixed point if necessary.
5.
Untie the line's knot and use the remaining length to wind it
around the drum and restart the winch again.
3.5.2.8
Stopping the winch
1.
Gradually release the tension to gradually lower the winch
towards the ground;
2.
Lower the throttle lever to idle position;
3.
Set the on/off switch to the OFF position;
4.
Do not touch the capstan drum after use. It may be hot and
burn your skin.

Maintenance
4.1
Cleaning
When your work is complete, clean and dry the winch.
4.2
Lubrification
The gearbox is lubricated in the factory and thus should not require
lubrication or maintenance. If oil losses become apparent, check
the oil level by placing the winch on a level surface and unscrew the
cap. Use an 8 mm hexagonal key.
When tipping the winch forwards, a little oil may
escape through the hole. If required, you can add
SAE80W90EP gear oil.
The entry guide pulley must turn freely. Lubricate it regularly using
a light oil, otherwise there is a risk of premature wear due to dirt
between the axis and the pulley. If necessary, remove it to get rid of
any dirt. Use an 8 mm hexagonal key.
