CHAINPIPE
Chainpipe Cover can be swung out of position to relieve chain jam if necessary.
1. Loosen the cap screw (item 9) & rotate cover (item 10) clockwise,
2. Relieve chain jam
3. Replace cover in reverse order to point 1.
USING THE WARPING DRUM
(VWC Models only)
The vertical capstan can be used independently of the chainwheel.
This is ideal for handling mooring lines, docking lines or a second anchor.
To use proceed as follows:
1. Check that the pawl item 19 is engaged with the chainwheel.
2. Insert the lever item 30 in the clutch nut item 5 and back off in a counter clockwise
direction until it stops.
The capstan will now operate whilst the chainwheel remains stationary.
3. Take several turns of line around the drum in a clockwise direction.
Whilst pulling on the tail press the “UP” footswitch. The Capstan will rotate in a
clockwise
direction.
Increasing or decreasing the load on the tail, whilst holding the footswitch down will
increase/decrease the rate at which the line will be hauled in.
Extra turns around the drum will increase the grip and require less load on the tail.
DON’T PUT SO MANY TURNS ON THE DRUM THAT EASING THE LOAD ON
THE TAIL WILL NOT ALLOW THE ROPE TO SLIP ON THE DRUM.
