Betjeningsvejledning
1. Start af motoren:
- Sørg for, at brændstofventilen er åben, og at motorafbryderen er i "ON"-positionen.
- Hvis motoren er kold, skal du aktivere chokeren.
- Træk i startsnoren, indtil motoren starter.
- Once started, gradually open the choke as the engine warms up.
2. Installing the Rope:
Feed the rope through the opening on the side of the capstan drum. Wrap the rope around the drum 3 to 4 times, ensuring the wraps are neat and do not overlap. The rope should exit the drum in line with the load.

Figure 4: Demonstrating unlimited pulling distance with the capstan drum.
This image illustrates the principle of the capstan drum, where the rope enters and exits, allowing for virtually unlimited pulling distance and constant power.
3. Pulling the Load:
- Maintain tension on the free end of the rope. The friction created by the wraps on the capstan drum, combined with the engine's power, will pull the load.
- Adjust the tension on the rope to control the pulling speed and force.
- Never let go of the rope while the engine is running and under load.

Figure 5: Maximizing pulling power with accessories.
This image shows the winch in use, demonstrating how accessories like pulleys can be used to multiply the pulling force, allowing the PCW3000 to move heavier objects.
Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PCW3000 winch.
- Motorvedligeholdelse: Refer to the Honda GX35 engine manual for detailed maintenance schedules, including oil changes, air filter cleaning, and spark plug inspection.
- Capstan Drum: Keep the drum clean and free of debris. Inspect for wear or damage.
- Rebinspektion: Regularly inspect your ropes for fraying, cuts, or excessive wear. Replace damaged ropes immediately.
