THIS WINCH BE FULLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT TO DO SO, AND HAVE READ THE ENTIRE OPERATING MANUAL. GMP CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MIS-USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT. 5.1 CONTROLS The operator controls have been designed to be safe and simple to use, with regard to ergonomic considerations. - Page 9 5.3 PAYING OUT ROPE The rope take-up drum should be de-clutched by removing the lynch pin at the end of the drum shaft, grasping the drum flange, pulling and then rotating. Once the drum is free from its drive clutch, it is free to rotate on the shaft and the rope can be pulled manually from the drum.
- Page 10 5.5.2 Operate the drum control lever to engage the drum drive. This should be left in its operating position at all times that the winch is working. At all other times it is advanta- geous to return the drum control lever to its non-operating position. 5.5.3 Operate the winch control lever by pulling gently towards the operator.
- Page 11 5.6 REMOVING ROPE FROM SPLIT DRUMS The split drum has been designed to enable removal of the rope in a complete coil. In order to achieve this, ensure that the drum is fully engaged in its clutch and untie the rope from the drum.
