Read All Safety Notices and Product Manuals
Do not install or operate this winch before reading and fully understanding the contents of this Safety Notice Sheet and the
Product Manual.
Stay Alert When Operating
Andersen winches are very powerful and have the potential to cause significant damage and/or serious injury if used
improperly or without due caution and vigilance.
Operators Must be Trained
Help prevent significant damage and/or serious injury by ensuring any person operating a winch has a thorough
understanding of its proper operation and is aware of the potential hazards involved. As a minimum, all winch operators
must read and understand this Safety Notice Sheet and the Product Manual.
Particular attention is drawn to the following points:
•
Children and others not qualified to operate an electric winch must be kept at a safe distance from the winch and any
rigging or fittings that are under load.
•
Long hair and/or loose clothing must be tied back to avoid being caught in the winch.
•
In the event of a rope override or other fault, stop the winch and turn off power before attempting to resolve the
problem.
Avoid Accidental Operation
Always turn off power to the winch at the circuit breaker and remove winch handles when not in use to help avoid
unsupervised or unintentional operation. Failure to do so could result in significant damage and/or serious injury.
Maintenance
Turn off power to the winch before performing any maintenance or service tasks. Failure to do so could result in significant
damage and/or serious injury.
Lifting Operations
The winch must not be operated with the rope in the self tailer when used in any kind of lifting operation. Any lifting
operations should be conducted by two persons in order to maintain constant visual contact with the object being lifted.
Furthermore the self tailer must not be used as a cleat for a rope used to lift or suspend any object. The rope must be
secured properly by tying off, or leading to a suitable fitting such as a cleat or bollard.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injury
or death.
