[UK-CONTEST] AUTOBRAKE WINCHES

[GW4BLE]

Hello All,

Please excuse the bandwidth, but I can think of no better audience for
advice on this subject; my excuse for wasting your time anyway - read on if
you wish, or hit *delete* now ....!

I need to crank over my HD P60 Versatower, reason for which I wont go into
here, but I do so with some trepidation as the tower hasn't been luffed over
for nigh on ten years.

Head load on the tower consists of Create RC5B-3 rotator, TH7 immediately on
head unit, then a 5M x 63.5mm alloy tube (6mm wall) with 40-2CD on top.

The winch for performing this task is a Fulton K2550 auto break, with 8mm
rope. I just wonder if there are any precautions I should be aware of with
this animal?

Thanks for your time.
