Product Manual

2.2.2 Gas

Fill the gas tank with unleaded fuel. Do not use oil/fuel mixture; your Portable Capstan Winch

is equipped with a 4-stroke engine. Refer to page 7 of the Honda engine user manual.

2.2.3 Engine start-up

Refer to page 3 of the Honda engine user manual for

start-up instructions.

The engine on-off switch is located on the winch

housing, to the left of the handle (figure 1 to the right).

Make sure to pull on the recoil starter in the axis of the

rope outlet (figure 1 below). If you pull vertically (figure

2), the friction of the rope on the plastic cover might

damage the rope and/or the cover.

First use: Let the engine run five (5) minutes at idle

before first pull.

simple installation steps (figures 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 can be found on the next page). All bolts require a
