Portable Winch
Model 30.040
Use of the winch may under certain circumstances, constitute a potential risk of injury.
Take serious precautions to avoid any accidents.
KC Denmark A/S is not, and cannot be held, responsible for any damage(s) made to equipment
or to operators who ignore safety precautions or because of misuse, any modifications or
wrong operation.
Max. recommended load: 25 kg.
Preparation
1
Secure the winch properly using a suitable bracket.
More options are available; the photo shows a rail-
mounted, lockable model. See item 2 for another
model.
To avoid any damage or injury, you must ensure
free space for the wire in all positions.
The bracket for 30.040 comes without the circular
plate shown on the photo.

This model offers several options for adjustment, so
it will fit for almost any mounting.
The bracket for 30.040 comes without the circular
plate shown on the photo.
3
Remove the plate on the drum. Insert the wire as
shown and fasten it to the bolt using an appropriate
eye at end of the wire. You may secure the bolt by
adding Loctite or similar to the thread.
Mount the plate and you are now ready for spooling
the wire onto the drum.
4
Loosen the brake at the left side and spool the wire
taking precaution as per item 5.

Winding from reel to drum:
During installation, when the steel wire rope is
running directly from the reel to the drum, you
must ensure that the reel is running in the same
direction as the drum. If this is done incorrectly, the
steel wire rope is subjected to tension.
In order to achieve problem-free winding in multi-
layer winding, it is extremely important that the
steel wire rope is under tension when applied to the
drum. If the layers are too loose, the upper layers
can damage or cut into the layers below when
tension is applied, resulting in damage to the steel
wire rope. The rope must be wound onto the drum
at a tension corresponding to at least 2% of the
tensile strength of the rope. Text and illustration by

Operating the winch
6
Attach your equipment and lower it to the sea. A
maximum weight of 25 kg is highly recommended
as a higher load makes the handling more
inconvenient. Turning the brake handle in clockwise
position will lock the winch.
Before loosing the brake for resuming the operation
hold the handle in a firm position so you don’t get
hit by the handle.
For a fast deployment you can loose the brake and
the winch runs in free-wheeling mode. Beware of
the rotating handle which can cause serious injury.
Never attempt catching the handle to stop the
winch, you must only use the brake handle.
For a wire speed exceeding 3 m/sec. approx, the
counter may have an incorrect read-out of length.

The counter system
7
The counter wheel has three inductive sensors.
8
Every revolution of the counter wheel is equal to 33
cm (1 ft.) of wire length. For measuring the length
in m, the read-out must be divided by 3. An
example: Read-out of 144 indicates a length of
48 m.
The counter does not have a reverse counting
function so the count increases regardless of the
wire’s direction.
Push the small button to reset the counter to 0.
The counter has an internal Lithium battery with a
battery life up to 7 years.
Maintenance
9
A bearing housing is located on left and right side of
the winch.
Grease at the least every 6 months or as required.
