3.6.2.5 How to resume winching

You must release some tension before restarting the winch engine. First, untie the two half-

knots. Let go of some of the rope to release some tension. While holding the rope with one

hand, start the engine by pulling on the crank and pull the throttle up. You can now resume

winching.

3.6.2.6 If you must keep tension on the rope at start-up

You can install a rope grab device or a Prussik knot attached to your anchor point in order to

keep tension on the rope.

3.6.2.7 If your rope is too short

You will have to link two ropes together.

1) If you have to link two rope lengths, do it

with two bowline knots (figure 1, no 1)

(see section 3.2.1 for knots).

2) Leave about 1 m of rope tailing out of the

knot on the rope holding the load (figure

1, no 2). You will need it to resume

winching after undoing the knots.

3) Release tension off the rope. If necessary,

attach the load to a fixed object.

4) Undo the knots and use the remaining

length to wrap around the capstan.

3.6.3 Stopping the winch

1) Release tension gradually to lower the

winch gently to the ground;

2) Bring throttle down to idle;

3) Turn ignition switch off.
