Emergency Crank Handle
Before fishing with your Scotty Depthpower for the first time, you should
familiarize yourself with the use of the Emergency Crank Handle
A
. This
device is intended for use when a power loss has occurred and the weight
must be retrieved.
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE DOWNRIGGER.
1.
Move the latch on the
2.
top of the downrigger
lid to the ‘unlocked’
position and tilt the lid
open.
Remove the lid by
3.
pulling sideways on
one of the mounting
tabs.
Lift the Emergency
4.
Crank Handle
A
off the
locating pin
B
and pull
it off the nut
C
.
Lift the Drive Belt
5.
D
off the spool gear
E
and put it in a secure
place.
Slide the non-forked
6.
end of the Emergency
Crank
Handle
into
the slot on the top of
the spool gear
E
at
a 45° angle. You will
now be able to crank
up the wire line using
the Emergency Crank
Handle.
As the weight is being retrieved, the counter pressure plate
7.
assembly will spin with the spool. Therefore, rotate the counter
pressure plate so that the star wheel on the counter does not
interfere with the pins on the spool gear. Adjust the counter
reading by spinning the counter star wheel by hand.
The parts that have been removed should be installed in the
8.
reverse order they were taken off. Rotate the counter pressure
plate assembly so that the arm that supports the Emergency
Crank Handle is aligned between the shaft, locating the counter
under the cover window. Lift the Emergency Crank Handle over
the locating pin
B
engaging its hole onto the pin.
The Emergency Crank Handle
9.
A
must always be securely in place
when the downrigger is in use under power, as it ensures correct
alignment of the drive unit. Make sure the lid is down and locked
before connecting the power.
