[TowerTalk] HDx89MDPL winch motor stopped eorking

[Dick Dievendorff]

> I went out on Friday afternoon to lower the tower. Nothing happened when I flipped the switch. I checked the plug and GFI breaker, it seems to have juice
> 
> I plan to return in Tuesday and begin diagnosis. I'll check for AC power at the outlet, and inside the box mounted on the tower. Beyond that I'm in new territory. Motor start capacitor? How does one test that?
> How would I go about bringing the tower down at least partway manually?
