CABLE INSTALLATION
Hydraulic winches with a pulling force of up to 20000 lbs
come with a factory-wound cable. The rope is extended
between the base to which the winch is attached and the
drum. Do not allow the rope to be rewound, i.e. to pull
the rope from the top of the drum. Rewinding the rope will
damage the winch brake.
For winches over 20000 lbs it is also recommended that the
rope be pulled between the base and the drum.
In the case of these winches, however, rewinding the rope
will not damage the brake.
OERATION OF THE HYDRAULIC WINCH
Pulling another vehicle or cargo
If you use the winch to pull another vehicle or cargo, pull
the vehicle hand brake and put stop blocks under the
wheels.
WINCHES WITH PNEUMATIC AND MANUAL CLUTCHES - DWHI
200 HD
Starting the winch with the use of a pneumatic clutch.
After supplying air under the pressure of 8-12 atm (e.g.
from a compressor for pumping car wheels) to the pneu-
matic clutch connector, the drum will uncouple.
Unwind the cable, leaving at least 5 fakes on the
drum.
Attach the load in a suitable place.
Engage the drum by removing the air pressure at the
clutch connector (disconnecting the compressor). After
the pressure drops the drum engages. To ensure that the
engaging is correct rotate the drum by several dozen de-
grees by hand. During manual rotation, the lock inside the
gear will snap into place and the coupling is engaged. Do
not operate the winch to pull the load without ensuring
that the drum is engaged.
Start the winch.

ATTENTION
If you have any doubts or problems, contact the
DRAGON WINCH service department.
IMPORTANT
Before loading the winch, it is recommended to
test its operation by unwinding and winding the
cable a few times. It is essential to get to know
the correct operation of the winch, both visually
and acoustically.
