Emergency Crank Handle
Before shing with your Scotty Depthpower for the rst 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. Ensure the auto-stop control is in the off position.
3. Slide the latches on the front and back of the downrigger chassis to the
‘unlocked’ position and lift the lid off.
4. Immediately place the lid in a safe, inboard location to prevent accidental
loss.
5. Lift the Emergency Crank Handle A off the locating pin B and pull it
sideways off the nut C.
6. Lift the Drive Belt D off the spool gear E and put it in a secure place(inside
the upturned lid is good).
7. Slide the non-forked end of the Emergency Crank Handle A 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 A.
8. The parts that have been removed should be installed in the reverse
order they were taken off. Rotate the Counter Pressure Plate Assembly F
so that the Emergency Crank Handle A is aligned between the supports.
Lift the Emergency Crank Handle A over the locating pin B to engage 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 parts are reassembled correctly and the lid
is properly positioned and locked before connecting the power.
