Suggestions for Safe Operation
DO the following:
Read and comply with the guidelines set forth in this Owner’s Manual. Keep
this manual, and all labels attached to the winch, readable and with the
equipment at all times. Contact Thern, Inc. for replacements.
Dedicate this winch for personnel lifting only.
Lift only one rider at a time with this winch using an approved device
(personnel harness, boatswain’s chair, bosun’s chair, etc…).
Check lubricant before use.
Install the wire rope securely to the winch drum.
Keep at least 5 wraps of wire rope wound on the drum at all times, to serve as
anchor wraps. With less than 5 wraps on the drum the wire rope could come
loose, causing potential injury to the rider.
Keep hands away from the drum, wire rope, slack line detector pinch points,
and other moving parts of the equipment.
Ensure brakes hold prior to making complete lift by lifting the person a short
distance (less than one foot) and releasing control.
If there becomes a slack wire rope condition, the hoisting mechanisms shall
be inspected to ensure all wire ropes are properly seated on drums and in
sheaves before resuming winch operation.
Depressurize and disconnect air supply before servicing the equipment.
Always wear hearing protection when operating the winch. Sound pressure
levels can exceed 86 dBa.
