2.6 POWER CONNECTION TO HYDRAULIC MOTORS
A basic hydraulic and control circuit schematics are
shown in Appendix C.
Port sizes on the hydraulic motor and minimum hose
sizes are specified in Section 1.3.
The motor has two ports, pressure and return. They
should be connected to a solenoid controlled on-off
valve (not supplied by Maxwell).
Adjust flow control valve and pressure relief valve as
indicated in Section 1.3.
After connecting the power lines and control circuits,
spray all ports and fittings with anti-corrosive
waterproof coating, “CRC 3013 Soft Seal” or
equivalent.

INSTALLATION OF CONTROLS
The recommended way of controlling a mooring
capstan is by footswitch. The footswitches are
available from Maxwell with plastic or stainless steel
covers.
An isolator switch for footswitches must be installed
in the wheelhouse, to prevent operating the capstan
by someone accidentally stepping on a footswitch.
Refer to wiring schematics in Appendix C for control
circuits. All control wiring should be done using no
smaller than 1.5mm² wire (AWG 16).
A manually re-settable, ignition proof 3A breaker or
fuse should be installed on the power supply line for
controls, within 1m (40”) from the main
breaker/isolator. These requirements are mandatory
to meet USCG, ABYC and NMMA rules.
After connecting the power lines, spray all ports and
fittings with anti-
corrosive waterproof coating “CRC
