Using the Capstan Drum for
Rope Warping:
The capstan can be used independently from the chainwheel.
This is ideal for handling
mooring or dockinglines, or retrieving a second
anchor.
For
safety reasons, a footswitch is highly recommended.
To haul in using the capstan:
Make sure the anchor is secured.
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and turn anticlockwise until rotation stops.
This will release the
mechanism so that the chainwheel remains stationary while you operate the capstan.
Take three turns of
rope around the drum in a clockwise direction.
While holding the tail of the rope, press the "Up" footswitch. The capstan will rotate clockwise.
