Pre-towing Checklist
-
Turn the knob counterclockwise to reduce the speed of the winch.
-
Flip the direction switch to FWD to let the cable out slowly and lower the clump weight distance to the seafloor.
-
Maintain the clump weight at specific altitude from the sea floor. Ensure that the winch operator is monitoring the clump weight altitude at all times during operation. Please refer to the Clump Weight Desired Altitude table.
Follow Camera/Winch Getting to Bottom for how to operate the winch and maintain the proper clump weight altitude.
