1.2 INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT
NOTICE
It is the responsibility of the customer, not the winch manufacturer, to properly locate and install the
winch with regard to the safety of those operating the machinery.
CAUTION
Install the equipment in an area where there is ample room to operate the unit without the
operator becoming entangled in the cable, lines, chains, winch mechanisms or other nearby
equipment.
1.2.1
All winches must be installed on a flat, rigid and non-slippery surface. Deck and structure must be
strong enough to withstand the weight and holding capacity of the winch and ultimate capacity of the
wire, and the forces likely to occur during operation. A qualified professional should inspect or design
the foundation to insure that it will provide adequate support.
1.2.2
Locate the winch in a suitable area free of traffic and obstacles. The winch should also be visible
during entire operation. Keep in mind that the winch needs to be accessible for proper lubrication,
maintenance and operation.
1.2.3
The DF-356 winch is made to mount with no hot work required when replacing a DF-3 or DF-156
winch. This winch also comes with its own set of base bars if the base bars from the DF-3 or DF-156
winch are no longer usable.
1.2.3.1
When mounting the DF-356 winch to the base bars from a DF-3 or DF-156 winch, not all of
the bolt holes will be filled (see appendix 2).
1.2.4
Mounting direction must be in line with the desired direction of cable pull. The front of the winch must
face in the direction from which the cable is reeled (see fig. #1). The winch drum, when properly used,
will reel the wire rope onto the bottom of the drum.
