AUTOMATIC Winch
General Information
Due to the purpose and structure of the AUTOMATIC winch, there are certain unavoidable dangers,
e.g., due to the result of vehicle movements, land formation, weather factors and risk of avalanches.
These dangers can, however, be minimised by correct and level-headed action on the part of operat-
ing personnel.
These operating and maintenance instructions advise about possible risks and provide guidelines that
will help prevent injury and damage to property.
Keeping the AUTOMATIC winch in perfect working condition is the best way of avoiding accidents. To
do this, it is essential to carry out the maintenance work regularly at the time intervals indicated. The
servicing dates and intervals as well as the maintenance instructions as specified by PRINOTH apply.
Pictograms and what they stand for
The pictograms on the AUTOMATIC winch must be kept in an undamaged condition and must remain
clearly visible. Damaged pictograms must be replaced immediately.
Pictograms can be obtained from PRINOTH agents and branch offices.
Familiarise yourself with the pictograms and what they stand for before operating the AUTOMATIC
winch.
