This updated manual reflects the current product line of E-Z Anchor Puller Mfg. Co. and is intended to further

Rebel drum anchor winches are separated in this manual to meet your specific needs, the following
Hints
and
Important Safety & Installation Section for
Any
Anchor Winch
sections are universally applicable.
Direct Drive vs. Free-Fall Operation
: Our Hero and Patriot drum anchor winches are
direct drive
, meaning
you will operate the anchor winch by pressing
and holding
the “down” side of your rocker switch until your
anchor hits the bottom, then pressing the “up” to slightly raise the anchor until your vessel is held steadily in the
designated area. To retrieve your anchor, press and hold the “up” side of your rocker switch until your anchor
rope is neatly spooled back onto the winch and the anchor is fully retrieved.
Our Rebel series, however, is powered into
free-fall
mode by pressing the “down” side of your rocker switch
for
2 seconds
, then quickly releasing it. Your anchor will be deployed as fast as gravity allows it to go.
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO STOP YOUR ANCHOR MID-FREEFALL
.
Doing so will cause irreparable damage to your
anchor winch, and may cause serious injury. After your anchor hits the bottom,
press and hold the “up” side
of
the rocker switch for about 5 seconds until you're steadily in position in the water. To raise your anchor with
your Rebel anchor winch, press and hold the “up” side until your anchor is completely retrieved and your
anchor rope is neatly spooled back onto the drum winch. For Rebel specifications, go to page 16 in the Rebel
Installation Guide.
HANDY HINTS FOR INSTALLATION
●
Locate the drum anchor winch in a suitable position so there is no interference from other ropes or objects.
Ensure that the rope has a
clear
path & use a roller if required to direct the rope to the drum.
●
Both exposed wires from the winch motor must be connected via joiners/solder and then heat shrink, including
internal silicon to wires (see cable chart, page 7) to eliminate corrosion or water entering wires.
●
The drum must be in-line and centered to the guide roller or hawsepipe and bowsprit to ensure an even spread of
the rope and chain to the drum.
●
Gearbox output multi-position flange (page 2) to drum bracket can rotate in eight different mounting positions for
your motor and gearbox components
●
Bushing and bushing hub; if bushing needs to be replaced just unbolt four screws to hub and replace bushing,
you can purchase bushings at www.ezanchorpuller.com.
