Emergency Crank Handle
Before fishing with your Scotty Depthpower for the first time, you should
familiarize yourself with the use of the Emergency Crank Handle A. This device
is intended for use when a power loss has occurred and the weight must
be retrieved.
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE DOWNRIGGER.
2. Move the latch on the top of the downrigger lid to the ‘unlocked’ position and tilt
the lid open.
3. Remove the lid by pulling sideways on one of the mounting tabs.
4. Lift the Emergency Crank Handle A o the locating pin B and pull it o the nut C.
5. Lift the Drive Belt D o the spool gear E and put it in a secure place.
6. Slide the non-forked end of the Emergency Crank Handle into the slot on the
top of the spool gear E at a 45° angle. You will now be able to crank up the wire
line using the Emergency Crank Handle.
7. As the weight is being retrieved, the counter pressure plate assembly will spin
with the spool. Therefore, rotate the counter pressure plate so that the star wheel
on the counter does not interfere with the pins on the spool gear. Adjust the
counter reading by spinning the counter star wheel by hand.
8. The parts that have been removed should be installed in the reverse order they
were taken o. Rotate the counter pressure plate assembly so that the arm that
supports the Emergency Crank Handle is aligned between the shaft, locating
the counter under the cover window. Lift the Emergency Crank Handle over the
locating pin B engaging its hole onto the pin.
9. The Emergency Crank Handle A must always be securely in place when the
downrigger is in use under power, as it ensures correct alignment of the drive unit.
Make sure the lid is down and locked before connecting the power.
