All safety-related information is indicated by the following symbol: The manual covers 4 different winch sizes; S30, S40, S48 and S54. The model designation can be found on the top of the winch. Identification-/serial number is located inside the winch, but also on the delivery box.
1.3 General warning & instructions Make sure the winch is dimensioned according to Seldén’s design standards and not subjected to loads greater than those stated in the brochure and instruction materials and is used solely for its intended use, i.e. normal sailboat applications for running rigging.
The S-winch has two different fastening methods: 1. By hexagon headed bolts which slide into a groove in the winch base and where the hexagon heads are locked against rotation due to the winch base structure. This method allows installation without dismantling the winch.
2 Operation instructions Seldén S-winches are manually operated and are a self-tailing type with two forward gears. 1. With the line, take 2-3 turns clockwise around the winch. The number of turns determines the grip and is related to the line construction. Fig.
