[TowerTalk] winch handle free spin

[luke webber]

i've heard claims that a clutch pack, braking system, on a fulton K1550 winch can slip even when a person is trying to raise a tower.  

 

is this possible?  what could cause this to happen?  could it be out of adjustment, perhaps grease on the friction discs, or the pawl being out of alignment?

 

thanks
