OPERATION
The four most important aspects of winch operation are:
1.
Follow all safety instructions when operating the winch.
2.
Allow only personnel trained in safety and the operation of
this product to operate the winch.
3.
Subject each winch to a regular inspection and maintenance
procedure.
4.
Be aware of the winch capacity and weight of load at all
times.
WARNING
• To avoid damage to the rigging, the structure supporting
the rigging, and the winch, do not “two-block*” the end of
the wire rope.
* Two blocking occurs when the winch wire rope is multi
reeved using two separate sheave blocks which are allowed to
come into contact with each other during winch operation. When
this occurs extreme forces are exerted on the wire rope and
sheave blocks which may result in equipment and or rigging
failure.
Power Operation
CAUTION
• Operating winch for time periods longer than suggested
can cause motor damage. Refer to Motor and Reducer
Charts.
When operating the winch avoid unnecessary jogging of the
controls.
Brake Operation
Brakes are supplied with a hand-operated release mechanism.
This allows opening of the brake without energizing the motor
to facilitate adjustments on the winch.
The brake requires a lever to be inserted into the release arm.
Pulling the lever away from the motor will open the brake. Refer
to Dwg. MHP0281. The brake will reset automatically, once the
lever is released. The lever, when not in use should be removed
and stowed in the clips provided between the cooling fan fins of
the motor.
(Dwg. MHP0281)
WARNING
• To lower loads jog brake release lever to prevent motor
and brake from over speeding the normal operating rpm.
Brake lever is not intended for use for rapid lowering. Power
winch in and out. Use brake lever only selectively for pulling
wire rope from winch.
Remote Control Pendant (optional feature)
Provides for remote winch control. The hand held remote
control is a two button pendant which controls wire rope payout
and haul-in. Direction of winch drum rotation is determined by
which button is pressed.
