2.2.3 Engine start-up

Refer to page 3 of the Honda

engine user manual

for start-up instructions.

The engine on-off switch is located on the winch

housing, to the left of the handle (figure 1 to the

right).

Make sure to pull on the recoil starter in the axis of

the rope outlet (figure 1 below). If you pull vertically

(figure 2), the friction of the rope on the plastic cover

might damage the rope and the cover.

2.2.4 Capstan drum

Your Portable Winch

is equipped with a standard 57 mm (2-1/4") diameter capstan drum.

If you are using the optional 85 mm (3-3/8") drum (PCA-1100 (not included)), follow these simple

installation steps (figures 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 can be found on the next page). All bolts require a 4 mm

(5/32’’) hex wrench, included with your winch manual.

1) Remove the rope guide (figure 1);

2) Remove the bolt located at the end of the drum axle (figure 2);

3) Remove the drum from the axle (figure 3). If necessary, you may push it forward with two

screwdrivers;

4) Replace it with the optional drum (figure 4). Make sure that the shaft key stays in place.

Install bolt and washer;

5) Install the rope guide (included with the optional drum) using the two (2) bolts.

NOTE: Make sure that the rope guide is not in contact with the capstan drum.
