Keep hands clear of the wire rope and all attaching components during
installation, pulling process and when spooling the wire rope in or out of
the drum. Always handle the wire rope by the rope end when spooling out
the rope by hand.
WARNING
The first step is to create a safe working environment for each specific pull.
There are several aspects to consider depending on restrictions imposed by the
surroundings and the locations of the vehicles.
– Remove any objects that may be blocking the operation or prevent a clear view of
the pull path.
– Try to place the winch in a straight line in front of the load.
– Never try to pull the load sideways.
– If necessary, use snatch blocks or other devices to change the pulling direction or
its angle to the winch.
– Take all necessary time to plan the pulling operation and gather available
information such as the load (weight) and the surroundings (surface condition)
before the operation takes place.
– Consider all important issues that might impact the winching operation and which
may be important factors in calculating the pull and in determining the need for
special equipment.
Safety
Always follow and observe SEPSON’s and the vehicle manufacturer’s advice and
instructions with regards to the recommended location of the winch.
The hydraulic system and its applications require care and cleanliness. Always
observe and respect SEPSON assembly and installation instructions.
Never use the winch to move people and never use it as a hoist to lift
objects.
