I think the best advice can be obtained from the manufacturer.
A friend of mine has the 72 foot motorized model. It has never failed to go
up or down.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Manually crank down a motorized tower
I have a US Tower HDX589MDPL with the motorized drum. I was wondering what
I would do in the event that something failed in the control box and I
needed to crank it down.
The gearbox has a worm gear and I believe I could temporarily take off the
chain and turn the gear box sprocket by hand. I would have to turn it until
the cows come home but I think I could crank it down. Am I correct about
this ? Have any of you had to crank down your motorized tower by hand ?
