OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Engage winch drive by depressing knob to RH side of winch and pulling towards the front of the vehicle - this should only be attempted with the engine stopped. If the drive does not engage, the winch worm should be turned with the starting handle until engagement occurs. 2. Once the winch is engaged start the engine and increase the engine speed to between 750 and 1000 r.p.m. using the hand throttle. This speed is slightly above tick-over. 3. Feed the winch rope between the guide roller and the bumper and coil it in an anti-clockwise direction around the bollard - three turns will be sufficient. 4. Stand about 6-10 feet away from the Land-Rover applying a gentle pull to the end of the rope coming off the bollard. When using a nylon rope only a minimal amount of pull on the loose end is required. 5. If during the winch operation the bollard stops turning and the drive shaft can still- be seen to be rotating then the brass overload shear pin in the drive line has broken. To replace the pin, stop the engine and then from underneath the winch check that the shear pin which is on the worm shaft input coupling-, has broken. Rotate the worm shaft by hand until the,drilled hole in the coupling and the drilled hole in the worm shaft are in line, knock out the remaining portion of shear pin and replace with a new one, secure the pin by means of a split pin or a twist of wire.
