• Stay clear of wire rope entry areas (fairlead or arch
rollers, winch drum etc).
• Make sure ground personnel are in plain view of the
operator, and at a distance of at least 1½ times the
working length of the wire rope.
• Make sure that any hand signals used by ground
personnel are clearly defined and understood by
everyone involved.
• Do not attempt to “jerk” or “shock” a load free. Doing so
can cause loads in excess of the rated capacity of the
wire rope, winch, or mounting hardware.
• Replace any parts only with genuine Allied Winch parts.
Refer to Parts Manual, 599003W.
• Maintain
a minimum of three (3) complete wraps of
wire rope
on the drum for normal operation. It may help
to paint the last fi ve wraps of wire rope a contrasting
color, to serve as a visual indicator.
• Do not handle wire rope with bare hands. Wear leather
gloves at all times.
• Align the tractor with the load to prevent side loading the
winch, and to maintain even spooling of the wire rope.
• If applying tension to the wire rope manually during
spooling:
»
ensure that the operator is winching in slowly,
»
keep your hands and clothing well clear of any rollers
or the winch drum,
»
do not maintain tension by letting the wire rope slip
through your hands,
»
use a hand-over-hand technique to maintain tension.
• Be aware of the ground conditions, and make sure
the ground and tractor are stable enough to pull the
intended load.
• Do not attempt to pull loads in excess of the rated
capacity of the winch.
• Keep yourself informed of any applicable codes,
regulations and standards for the job.
• Your winch may have temperature shut-off system for
protection of tractor and winch. Manual override of high
temperature shut-off will cause damage to tractor and
winch.
• This winch is not rated for any application involved in
the lifting or moving of personnel.
