Using the Capstan Drum for Rope Warping:
The vertical capstan can be used independently from the chainwheel. This is ideal for handling mooring or
docking lines, or retrieving a second anchor. For safety reasons, a footswitch is highly recommended.
To haul in using the capstan:
Make sure the anchor is secured.
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and turn anticlockwise until rotation stops. This will release the
mechanism so that the chainwheel remains stationary while you operate the capstan.
Wind up to three turns of rope onto the drum in a clockwise direction.
Maintaining a light ‘tailing’ pull on the free
end, start the capstan using the UP foot switch.
As the capstan rotates, increase pull and ‘tail’ hand over hand to haul the rope. Reduce pull to slip the rope if
required.
To hold, stop the capstan while maintaining pull on the rope.
