When the winch handle is not in use but the winch is under load, we recommend, from a
safety point of view, to remove the winch handle from the winch.
To ensure correct function of the self-tailing unit, only use recommended line sizes. When
using the winch with mooring lines DO NOT use the self-tailing function and be sure that the
mooring line is not in contact with the self-tailing arm.
To ensure the best possible functioning of the winch, we recommend that
the winch is placed in accordance with the line entry (shown below).
Be also aware that the self-tailing arm is positioned correctly. We recommend to have the
self-tailing arm positioned within the shaded area (shown above). On this model the self-
tailing arm can be placed in several dierent positions after having installed the winch.
