Winding from reel to drum:
During installation, when the steel wire rope is
running directly from the reel to the drum, you
must ensure that the reel is running in the same
direction as the drum. If this is done incorrectly, the
steel wire rope is subjected to tension.

To achieve a problem-free winding in multi-layer
winding, it is extremely important that the steel
wire rope is under tension when applied to the
drum. If the layers are too loose, the upper layers
can damage or cut into the layers below when
tension is applied, resulting in damage to the steel
wire rope. The rope must be wound onto the drum
at a tension corresponding to at least 2% of the
tensile strength of the rope. Text and illustration by

Attach your equipment and lower it to the sea. A
maximum weight of 30 kg is highly recommended
as a higher load makes the handling more
inconvenient. Turning the brake handle in clockwise
position will lock the winch.
Before loosing the brake for resuming the operation
hold the handle in a firm position so you don't get
7
hit by the handle.
For a fast deployment you can loose the brake and
the winch runs in free-wheeling mode. Beware of
the rotating handle which can cause serious injury.
Never attempt catching the handle to stop the
winch, you must only use the brake handle.
For a wire speed exceeding 3 m/sec. approx, the
counter may have an incorrect read-out of length.
