6. Once at desired position, let the rubber handle go, this will re-engage the system (if
needed);
3.4.2.4 Sending the rope back down
After lifting objects, you may want to send the rope back down. Since there is no reverse on the
winch and friction is in cause, simply disengage the rope grabbing system, remove the rope from
the capstan drum to eliminate friction and let the rope back down. If the rope does not come
down, you may have to attach a small rope to it (prior to lifting) in order to pull it back down.
3.4.3 Pulling
To pull a load, follow the steps found in section 3.4.1. However, when pulling a load on the
ground that does not risk falling or rolling back, you may want to disengage the rope grabbing
system. If you do not and the load get stuck, you may have trouble getting some slack since the
rope will already be stretched to its maximum and
the rope grabbing system will be very hard to
disengage.
IF THERE IS ANY RISK THE
LOAD MAY FALL OR ROLL BACK, DO NOT
COMPLETELY
DISENGAGE THE ROPE
GRABBING SYSTEM.
Using the winch without the rope grabbing system
allows you to release the tension and benefit from
the elasticity of the rope to restart pulling and let the
motor reach its maximum power.
To disengage the rope grabbing system, open the
spring-loaded cam upwards and let it rest on the
frame of the rope grabbing system (figure 1, no. 1).
To re-engage it, lift it upward again and bring it
back towards the pulling rope (figure 1, no. 2).
