Note to anyone getting the nets out or putting them away at the club:

You *must* keep some tension on the cable when pulling the cable out or winding it away! Do NOT let the cable run loose when winding it up, and do not let the winch run free when pulling it out – you need to pull the cable down the length of the pitch as you slowly control the speed of the winch as you let the cable out.

If you do not keep tension in the cable, you run a strong risk of jamming the cable in the winch (by it looping off the reel in some fashion) – trying to subsequently force the winch/cable will make an even bigger mess! It’ll also result in a long, greasy process of trying to fix it, which I will personally supervise if anyone stuffs it up by not following the instructions!

If anyone has questions, please ask someone who knows what to do before using it!
