When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket over the wire
rope five or six feet from the hook. In the event of a broken cable it
will dampen the snap back. For additional protection open the
hood of the vehicle as shown in Fig 3.3
For pulls over 70% rated line pull, we recommend the use of the
snatch block/pulley block to double line the wire rope. Fig 3.4
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the rope by up
to 50% depending on the included angle.
WARNING -
Never use your winch for overhead hoisting or for
lifting people or moving people.
