The planetary hydraulic winches are made for hoisting and lowering loads and to be operated by trained and professional
personnel. They are not designed for operations involving lifting or moving personnel. The winches are powered by hydraulic
power. The ropes / cables for hoisting operations are not supplied by PULLMASTER. The winches are always assembled
in an application, they do not function as an independent machine and it is not allowed to use them as such.
The winches are to be used within the specifications as listed in the manual under “SPECIFICATIONS”. Other use as foreseen
in the functional description of the hydraulic winch is not allowed without written permission from PULLMASTER.
