BEFORE OPERATING
Visually inspect the hook, winch cable, winch and accessories for any damage or wear. Do not
use nylon slings with abnormal wear, torn stitching, broken or cut fibers or discoloration or de-
terioration. Reject wire cable with kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or other distortions, evidence
of heat damage, cracks, deformation, or worn end attachments, six randomly broken wires in a
single cable lay, three broken wires in one strand of cable, cracked hooks and hooks open more
than 15% at the throat.
Ensure that the truck’s cargo bed and suspension systems are in good condition, i.e., shocks,
springs, etc.
Check to see that all frame fastening screws are secure.
Check for any evidence of hydraulic fluid leaks.
MOVING A LOAD
Center the hook over the load to keep the cable from slipping out of the drum grooves and over-
lapping, and to prevent the load from swinging when it is lifted. Inspect the drum to verify that
the cable is in the grooves. Lift the load only high enough to clear the tailgate or rear of the
cargo bed.
Avoid putting fingers or arms in the pinch points between the boom arms and the
frame.
Do not stand in cargo bed when loading and unloading.
