3.5.2.7 If your rope is too short
If your line is too short, connect two lines together:
1. Fig. 1-1: Use 2 bowline knots to link your two lines together.
2. Fig. 1-2: Allow approx. 1 m (3') of line to exceed the knot of
the line pulling the load. This length of line will be used for
pulling when the knot is undone.
3. Fig. 2: Stop the winch before the knots reach the winch; they
will not be able to pass through and the line will become
tangled.
4. Release the tension in the line. Attach the load to a fixed
point if necessary.
5. Untie the line's knot and use the remaining length to wind it
around the drum and restart the winch again.

1. Gradually release the tension to gradually lower the winch
towards the ground;

4. Maintenance.
4.1 Cleaning
When your work is complete, clean and dry the winch.
DURING CLEANING, CHECK
THE WINCH, THE HOOKS, THE
LINE AND THE POLYESTER SLING FOR ANY DAMAGE OR
SIGNS OF WEAR
Regularly remove the capstan drum and clean
around the shaft. Any accumulated debris may
damage the seal. Brush the shaft with a little oil
to avoid corrosion.
4.2 Lubrification
The gearbox is lubricated in the factory and thus should not require
lubrication or maintenance. If oil losses become apparent, check the
oil level by placing the winch on a level surface and unscrew the cap.
Use an 8 mm hexagonal key.

When tipping the winch forwards, a little oil may escape
through the hole. If required, you can add SAE80W90EP
gear oil.
PCW5000 and PCW5000-HS only:
The entry guide pulley must turn freely. Lubricate it regularly using a
light oil, otherwise there is a risk of premature wear due to dirt between
the axis and the pulley. If necessary, remove it to get rid of any dirt.
Use an 8 mm hexagonal key.
4.3 Honda engine
Maintain the engine according to the instructions provided in the
Honda engine user manual.
4.4 Storage
Always store your Portable Capstan Winch
consult the Honda engine user manual for storage instructions.
4.5 Spark arrestors
PCW3000: Since your winch is equipped with integrated spark
arrestors, you must clean them after one hundred (100) hours of
operation. Consult the Honda engine manual for the cleaning
procedure.
PCW5000 and PCW5000-HS: If your winch is equipped with an
optional spark arrestor (PCA-1151, sold separately), you should
clean this every one hundred (100) operating hours to ensure that it
works properly. Consult the Honda engine manual for the cleaning
procedure.
