Moving the winches

If the cables need to be unplugged, in most cases they will, make sure that the e-stop is pressed on the MCC cabinet before unplugging and the sequence reversed after the motors are in position. This makes the drive reset function within Chameleon much simpler.

Be careful of the counterweight lines while moving, they are easily trapped and damaged
