Section 1 - General Safety Practices
5376000207 1-5
When opening tool compartments:
• Loose items may shift during transport. Properly secure items when not in use
• Ensure all tool compartment doors are properly closed prior to transport.
WINCH CABLE / FALLING LOAD HAZARDS
• Keep people away during operation.
• Never exceed capacity of rigging or cable.
• Never stand on or straddle cable.
• Always keep a minimum of five (5) wraps of cable on winch drum.
• Keep tension on cable when unwinding.
• NEVER work behind the truck with equipment on the deck unless the equipment
is secured at the front of the deck. (Do not rely on the winch to hold the load).
• Stay to the side of the deck when winching.
• Keep cables from contacting sharp objects.
• Never wrap cables around objects. Use appropriate chains/straps to wrap around
the equipment to be transported, and attach the cable hook to the chain/straps.
• Never allow the cable to cross over itself when wrapping on the drum.
• NEVER winch from the side of the bed. Winch only from the rear with load
centered and in line with the winch. Failure to do so can result in winch or wire
rope damage and/or bodily injury. Never use the deck winch for side pulling.
• Never use damaged cable. Never use cable menders. Replace damaged cable
with cable and hooks of equal or greater rating.
