• With the handle inserted, check that the drum can rotate through 360 degrees.

camber or sheer. Care must be taken to ensure that the top and bottom mounting surfaces are paral-
lel for correct alignment.
4. Remove the drum cap, washer and drum by undoing the cap with the handle provided.

5. Apply a bead of suitable sealant/bedding compound and mount the
capstan through the deck.
Replace the drum and washer and secure them with the drum cap.
6. Under deck, lightly coat the shaft with grease. Ensure the drive key is in place and, selecting the most
suitable positions (electric motor only), slide the motor/ gearbox into position.
Assemble the nuts and washers and secure tightly.
