12.2.3 Safety regulations for the cable winch
• This winch is built for multi-purpose hauling and pulling operations. It is not
recommended for lifting operations !
• Large forces are released when using a winch, creating potential safety hazards.
It should be operated and maintained in accordance with the respective
instructions. Never allow children or anyone who is not familiar with the operation
of the winch to use it.
• Maintain a firm grip on the winch handle at all times, and never release the handle
when the ratchet lever is in unlocked position with a load on the winch. Otherwise,
the handle will spin violently, thus causing severe injuries.
• Check for proper ratchet operation before each use of the winch. Do not use if
damaged. Seek immediate repairs.
• Never pull on the winch handle against a locked ratchet.
• Never exceed the rated capacity. Excess load may cause premature failure and
could result in serious personal injury. The winch is rated at 500 kg with three layers
of line on a 7/8" hub.
• Never apply load on winch with cable fully extended. Keep at least three full turns
of rope on the reel.
If the release rope gets too long when the volume dispensers are closed,
it slides from the idler rollers. Therefore you have to implement a lift stop
consisting of a tripod jack and cable clamp.
