When you stop lifting with the PCT1800 AC Electric Portable Capstan Pulling/Lifting Winch TM , the
rope grabbing system engages, therefore, holds a load in position and keeps the rope under
tension. To release it, follow these steps:
1. Figure 1, no. 1: Pull horizontally (and gently) on the pulling rope to engage the motor, this
will release the tension applied by the rope grabbing system on the pulling rope;
2. Figure 1, no. 2: Pull gently on the rubber handle of the rope attached to the rope grabbing
system; this will disengage the system;
DO NOT COMPLETELY DISENGAGE THE ROPE GRABBING
SYSTEM, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, SIMPLY LET THE RUBBER HANDLE GO, THE
SYSTEM WILL RE-ENGAGE.
NEVER LET THE PULLING ROPE SLIDE SUDDENLY IF A LOAD IS
SUSPENDED.
3. Figure 1, no. 3: Slowly payout the pulling rope (push it towards the winch if necessary -
this may occur if you have four wraps of rope on the drum and a light load) while keeping
the rope grabbing system slightly open;
4. Figure 1, no. 4: Release the tension applied to the rubber handle, this will re-engage the
rope grabbing system. You can now let go the pulling rope and grab it further;
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the load is at desired position or completely lowered;
