14. Stay out of the direct line that the wire rope is
pulling. If it slips or breaks, it will “whiplash”
along this line. Place heavy rag or carpet
over wire rope span 6 feet from hook to help
absorb the force released if the wire rope
breaks. (See Figure E.)

15. Do not maintain power to the winch if the
motor stalls. Verify load is within rated capacity
Use double line rigging whenever possible.
Double Line Rigging
a. A double line system should be used whenever
possible. It reduces the load on the winch,
allowing it to work longer with less heat
buildup. It reduces load on the winch in two
ways:
•

• It halves the load on the winch through pulley
b. Connect the wire rope for a double line system
as shown in Figure F below. Use a pulley block
(sold separately) properly rated for the load to
be pulled and designed to be operated with
this winch’s wire rope.
