Apply Molykote 44 or Molykote 111 on the contact surface of the winch cable to prevent

Rope and strain relief
The strain relief consists of a 25 kg counterweight, a rope and various blocks. The purpose is to keep
the winch rope tight even if the cage is deformed due to wind, currents or other factors.
Wind up the winch rope before it is pulled around the cage.
All white and blue lines in the rope must be parallel throughout the rope to avoid
knots/twisting of the rope.
•
Fasten one end of the winch rope to the handrail of the cage and wind the rope out, either lying
in the sea or between the collar tubes.
•
Pull the other end of the rope through the block hanging from the strain relief. Then tie it to the
handrail.
•
Walk around the cage with the strain relief. The rope is supposed to place itself nicely out in the
cage.
Place the winch rope between the ropes for the spreader, birds net etc., and above the
rope for the dead fish handling system, lights, etc.
−
Walk as far as possible with the strain relief so that the winch rope is placed where the feed
lands in the cage, preferably centred in the cage so that it is possible to lower the camera all
the way down to the dead fish handling system.
−
Attach the strain relief to the handrail via the pulley.
−
Attach the counterweight to the end of the strain relief and lower it into the sea. Steinsvik AS
recommend fastening a safety rope to the counterweight.
−
Wind the winch rope onto the winch.
−
Cut the rope to the appropriate length
– the length is dependent on the size of the cage
−
Tie the small block for winch rope to the rope.
−
Thread the camera rope through the steering rod on the winch and through the block (which
you mounted on the winch).
−
for installation of the underwater camera and cable.
