of cable payout, the shear pin will shear, allowing the shock
absorber to function normally. If the shear pin has been sheared, the
unit must be returned for inspection and repair. See section 5.0 for
inspection details.
IMPORTANT: Do not use winch for lifting or lowering of more than one
person, except for emergency situations. In this case, if using the 8101000
series, the low speed shaft must be used to prevent handle slippage. The
maximum lifting force is approximately 500 lbs.
WARNING: If the cranking tension eases during lowering, the person or
material being lowered has reached a work level or obstruction. Do not
continue cranking without communicating with the person or checking the
material being lowered. Always keep the cable tension firm. Slack cable
could cause a free fall.
WARNING: A minimum of four wraps of line must remain on the drum at all
times on the 8101000 series. One complete layer of line must remain on the
8102001 series. Do not attempt to reverse wind the line onto the drum. Line
must wind onto the drum by turning the crank handle in the "raise" direction
only. Check periodically to see that the line is winding evenly on the drum.
Use gloves when handling line.
