I. Safety Precautions
Please read and understand this Instruction Manual before installing your winch.
Don’t use unsuitable wire rope in construction, strength or having any defects.
Don’t use an unsuitable hook and snatch block for wire rope.
The operator of a winch in some cases, is required to have qualifications according to
applicable laws and ordinances.
Do not use the winch as a lifting device or a hoist for
vertical lifting (Fig1).
Do not use winch to move people.
Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in
tables. Shock load must not exceed these ratings.
Keep hands clear of wire rope and fairlead opening.
Pull from an angle below 15 degree to straighten up
the vehicle or load. (Fig2)
Use leather gloves or a heavy rag when handling the
wire rope.
When winching a heavy load lay a heavy blanket or
jacket over the wire rope near the hook end.
Load and speed vary according to how much wire rope
is on the drum. The first layer of rope on the drum
delivers the slowest speed and the maximum load.
A full drum delivers the maximum speed and the
minimum load. For this reason, winches are rated
on their performance first layer of rope on the drum.
