the obstacle. Winch slowly and steadily for a period not to
exceed 1-1.5 minutes per pull. Exceeding 90 second pulls
will place a strain on your electrical system and the winch.
Taking a short break in-between 60 second pulls allows the
battery to recharge itself and therefore provide the
maximum pulling power.
Step Thirteen:
Things to check During the Pull
Make sure the all of the following is happening during the
pulling process:
✔
The winch line is pulling in tightly across the winch
drum and not to one side. This is extremely
important as a “side pull” can damage your winch or
the cable can become bound up and possibly break.
✔
Avoid “Shock” or “Jerk” pulls during the winching
process. These hard hitting pulls can create undue
stress on the winch line and potentially cause it to
break. “Slow and steady” should be the mantra
on all winching operations.

Make the pull from
inside the cockpit.
