8 MACHINE OPERATION
8.1 Dangers when using the machine
Pulling loads
Pull loads with caution, without making abrupt movements and observing the utmost care.
Keep the winch and the load under constant control.
Lifting loads
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to lift loads. The Winch is not designed for that purpose!
Breaking of the cable
In the event the cable breaks while under tension, a sudden snapback of the cable (whiplash) will
occur that can cause serious injuries. Keep a safety distance of least 1.5 m from the cable.
8.2 Checks before use
Make sure that the machine is properly powered from the battery.
Make sure that the load to be moved does not weigh more than the maximum pulling
capacity.
Thoroughly inspect all parts of the Winch, especially checking the hook, the steel cable,
and the proper functioning of the safety systems. Use the machine only if the check on the
state of efficiency has been carried out positively.
8.3 Hooking the load
To be able to wind out the cable it is necessary to first free the drum.
Lift the locking lever “I” (
Figure 16
).
Pull the cable using the grip belt “L” (
Figure 16
), to avoid the risk of abrasion or cuts to the
hand or entrapment of the fingers in the pulling hook.
