3. Before hooking the load, make sure the distance between the load and strap is minimal.
Hook up the load using a pulling point, tow strap or chain.
Do not wrap the strap around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the strap. This could
damage the load and twist or fray the strap.
4. Reset the ratchet switch to rewind position (see 4.2).
5. The operator/user shall pull the load with care. The strap shall be tightened and shall not be in the
slack-condition when the load is being pulled.
6. Rewind the strap and load with the crank handle
5.4- WARNING:
1. Do not use the winch with the vehicle in gear or in “P” (park brake) position on as this could
damage the vehicle transmission. Chock vehicle.
2. Do not wrap the strap around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the strap. This could
damage the load and twist or fray the strap.
3. Keep hands, clothing, hair, and jewelry clear of the drum area and strap when using the winch.
4. Do not use the winch if the strap is frayed, twisted or damaged.
5. Do not allow anyone to stand near the strap or in the strap pulling line, behind the winch while
it is on. If the strap should slip of break, it could whiplash.
5.5- Pulling capacity
1. The winch has a capacity of 540 kg. Applying this measurement to practical applications, the
winch can be used to pull the following:
(
R
) Rolling load
- a wheeled moving vehicle of up to 540 kg
(
M
) Marine load
- a water borne craft of up to 450 kg
(
T
) Pulling load (Traction)
- a load of up to 180kg from a dead stop on level ground.
2. The pulling capacity reduces as the incline increases.
For example, the rolling capacity is reduced from 540 kg on flat ground
to 90 kg on a 45° incline.
Please refer to the following chart for estimated pulling capacity (rolling weight) on various inclines.
Maximum rolling weight capacities on an incline, where: P = Weight and I = incline degree
