induce slipping over the winch drum,
releasing the tension in the sheet.
Do this until the desired tension is obtained.

Keep body parts and clothing away
from the winch when releasing the line.
The Seldén winch is designed for line handling on sailboats only!
Keep body parts and clothing away from moving parts while the winch is in use.
It is recommended to let only one person work with the winch at any one time.
If a Seldén winch is used for going aloft, double halyards must be used, to be hauled in and
eased off at the same time. (Seldén rigging manual “Hints & Advice”, 595-540-E, “Working aloft”).
