[TowerTalk] K7LXC WINCH Problem

[Steve Gilbert]

Steve- is your winch of the auto-brake type?? If it is, I suggest you get the 
manufacturers booklet that goes with it and check that it is assembled 
correctly. On my auto-brake winch, you have to make sure that the handle is 
torqued to the correct tightness when you fit the thing otherwise either (a) the 
handle unwinds and comes off or (b) the auto-brake does not work. The latter 
case can be dangerous in a "failure " state where auto-braking is essential.
