Please note! Make sure that the winch handle is always com-pletely connected with the socket during the manual operation. The emergency manual drive is automatically switched off by pulling the handle out of the boat winch socket .

Handling of the emergency manual drive

(Fig.1 and Fig.2)If a defect of the electric system affects a normal operation of the furler impossible, sails can be furled manually. Manualhandling requires a standard winch handle inserted into the winch socket, which is located at port side of the gear box. Insert the handle completely into the socket. It has to be locked in place, otherwise the electric drive is not separated from the gear. If problems arise when inserting the handle into the socket, try to turn the handle while inserting to allow easier coupling of the parts. We would like to point out that there is no power transmitted to the handle, due to the special gear construction. It is pos- sible to let go of the handle in any position without recoil.
