may cause personal injury.
The hand crank may be used when there is no power in the battery but the cable is still loaded, this
can help to loosen and retreat the cable temporarily.

been completely rewound.
4. Rotate the hand crank Clockwise to turn the cable until it is loose and has no any load.
