SECURING THE WINCH TO A SUITABLE ANCHOR POINT
It is easier to install the wire rope if the winch body is first mounted to the selected anchor point.
The anchor point should be of a suitable strength to at least withstand the working load limits of the winch, and
directly in line with the load to be applied.
The winch should be bolted to the anchor point, ensuring that the handle can freely travel through 360º when in
use. 10mm bolts of a suitable length should be used to secure the mounting plate of the winch to the anchor point.
‘Nylock’ nuts or locking washers should be used to fix bolts securely. Nuts and bolts for this purpose are not
supplied with the winch. Please refer to dimensional drawings on page 5 for a reference to mounting holes detail.
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION
WEAR GLOVES AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPES.
A locking nut and screw is provided with every BHW winch.
The wire rope at the opposite end of the safety hook is tapered
for insertion into the locking screw.
The locking screw is then inserted into one of the holes in the side wall
of the drum and secured with the locking nut, pulling the wire rope firmly
against the side of the drum.
With BHW1200 and BHW1800 winches, the wire rope is loaded
‘overwound’ on to the drum:
The BHW2600 winches are ‘underwound’ on to the drum:
When the tapered end is secured to the drum in the correct orientation, tension should be applied to the wire rope
to commence loading on to the drum by ‘Winching in’ (‘Handle up’). You are advised to fully unwind the wire rope
in a straight line in front of the winch to avoid any kinks when loading the rope on to the drum.
The pictures above show the
locking nut and screw supplied
with BHW winches to secure
the tapered end of the wire
rope to the side of the drum.
Choices of four holes in the
side of the drum are provided
for this purpose.
Regular inspection of the
locking nut and wire rope
installation is recommended to
ensure that fittings are tight.
