GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION
•
The C80195 is rated at 8,000 lbs. capacity in first layer (Max) when
spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the
winch/motor/ or wire rope. For loads over 5,000 lbs. we recommend the
use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line. The will
aid in two ways: a) reduce the number or rope layers on the drum, as well
as, b) reduce the load on the wire rope by as much as 50%. When
doubling the line back to the vehicle, attach to the frame or other load
bearing part.
•
The vehicle engine should be kept running during operation of the winch
to minimize battery drain and maximize power and speed of the winch. If
the winch is used for a considerable time with the engine off the battery
may be drained and too weak to restart the engine.
•
Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it. We recommend
that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself with rigging
techniques, the sounds your winch makes under various loads, the way
the cable spools on the drum, etc.
•
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each use. A frayed or
damaged rope shall be replaced immediately. Use only manufacturer’s
identical replacement rope with the exact specifications.
•
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight
before each operation.
