Suggestions for Safe Operation
DO NOT do the following:
Do not lift loads over people.
Do not walk or work under a load or in the line
of force of any load.
Do not exceed the load rating of the winch or any other component in the
system. To do so could result in failure of the equipment.
Do not use multiple winches to lift or lower a single rider.
Do not use damaged or malfunctioning equipment. To do so could result in
failure of the equipment.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. To do so could cause equipment
failure.
Do not wrap the wire rope around the lift point. This damages the wire rope
and could cause the rope to fail.
Do not operate the winch with guards or covers removed or improperly
installed.
Do not divert your attention from the operation. Stay alert to the possibility of
accidents, and try to prevent them from happening.
Do not jerk or swing the person being lifted. Avoid shock loads by starting
and stopping the operation smoothly. Shock loads overload the equipment
and may cause damage or personal injury.
Do not leave a suspended person unattended.
Do not lift materials, except hand tools accompanied by the rider, provided
that the total weight of the rider, lifting device, and tools do not exceed the
safe working load (SWL).
Do not use the lifting eyes of the winch for regular lifting or as a tie-off point.
Do not operate the winch in inclement weather conditions, especially when
lightning is present. Use of a ground strap is recommended to prevent damage
to the winch in case of lightning strike.
Do not touch brake rotors as they become hot during normal operation.
Do not remove the serial plate or any safety labels on the winch.
