FALLING OR CRUSHING HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to serious injury or death.
-
Always stand clear of winch rope and load and keep others away while winching.
-
Never operate winch with less than 5 wraps of rope around the drum. Rope could come
loose from the drum, as the rope attachment to the drum is not designed to hold a load.
-
Always keep winch and winching load in sight during winching operation.
-
Never use as a hoist.
-
Never use winch to secure a load.
-
Always be certain anchor will withstand load, use appropriate rigging and take time to rig
correctly.
-
Never use winch to lift or move persons.
-
Never shock load rope. Shock loading can damage, overload and brake rope.
-
Always wind the winch rope on top of drum.
-
Never wind rope from bottom of drum.
-
Always spool the winch rope onto the drum in the direction specified by the drum rotation
labels on the winch and in the documentation.
-
Always remove any element or obstacle that may interfere with safe operation of the
winch.
-
Always tightly wind rope onto drum after each use. During spooling in or out, rope direc-
tion can unexpectedly switch if rope is bound in layers on drum. Tightly wound rope re-
duces chance of binding.
