CAPSTAN DRIVE MOUNTING

The drive housing has six (6) through drilled holes for 5/8 in. capscrews and four (4) holes drilled
and tapped to ¾ - 10UNC that can be used for mounting. The drive can be either flange mounted us­ing the four holes in the face of the housing, or surface mounted using the four tapped holes. A mini­mum of four (4) grade 5 or better fasteners should be used.

CAPSTAN SAFEGUARDS AND OPERATION

The capstan drive is equipped with a dual brake valve cartridge; therefore, the capstan may be
operated in either direction. The rope can be wrapped around the capstan in either direction.

To install the bayonet type capstan, push the capstan onto the extension shaft, against spring ten­sion, then turn counter-clockwise (viewed from the outside) to the stop. Release the capstan and ver­ify that the spring has pushed the capstan outward into the lock position.

MAINTENANCE

Adhering to the following maintenance schedule will keep your capstan in top condition and performing
as it should with a minimum of repair.

A. WEEKLY

1. Check the oil level and maintain it to the oil level plug.If oil is leaking out, determine location and
repair.

2. Check the pressure relief plug in top of the gear housing. Be sure that it is not plugged.

B. MONTHLY

1. Check the capstan mounting bolts. If any are missing, replace them and securely tighten any that
are loose. Use grade 5 or better bolts.

2. Inspect the cable. If the cable has become frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.

C. ANNUALLY

1. Drain the oil from the capstan annually or more often if winch is used frequently.

2. Fill the capstan to the oil level plug with clean kerosene. Run the capstan a few seconds with no load
in the reel in direction. Drain the kerosene from the capstan.

3. Refill the capstan to the oil level plug with all purpose SAE 80W-140 gear oil.
