7. Do not use the winch in humid environments. Do not expose the winch to rain.
8. Do not use the winch in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not use
the winch in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
9.
Disconnect the machine power cords from the battery when:
the machine is not being used for a long time;
the machine is left unattended;
performing maintenance or registration, because the machine does not work properly;
a power cord is damaged;
moving or transporting;
cleaning the machine.
10.Wear appropriate clothing. In particular, loose-fitting clothing and/or jewellery should not
be worn. It is a good idea to wear anti-slip shoes and electrically non-conductive clothing.
Tie up long hair.
11.Do not step over the cable or winch when the cable is under tension.
12.Pay close attention to what you are doing! Do not use the winch if your psycho-physical
condition does not allow it.
13.Do not leave any tools in the vicinity of the winch.
14.It is recommended that users of this publication, for maintenance and repair, have a basic
knowledge of the mechanical principles and procedures inherent in repair technique.
15.Replace worn and/or damaged parts, check that protective devices work correctly before
operation. If necessary, have the machine checked by the Service Support personnel.
Use only original spare parts !
16.
The staff responsible for using the machine must have read and understood this
manual in its entirety.
2.1 Safety regulations for the Electric Winch
Precautions for use
The electric winch is designed for intermittent use, and should not be used continuously in
harsh working conditions. The duration of work must be as short as possible. If the motor
shows signs of overheating (check the temperature by touch) stop the winch and wait a few
minutes for the machine to cool. Do not prolong use over 1 minute, when operating close to
the rated maximum load. Stop use if the motor show signs of fatigue.
1. Never lift people or things above people.
Never lift things vertically. The Winch is NOT a lifting device, and is only
designed for horizontal "pulling" of vehicles or other objects.
2. Do not overload the Winch, beyond its maximum pulling capacity (2200 kg).
3. The winch is not designed for continuous use. Do not use the electric winch for more than
one minute when pulling a load close to the rated maximum load capacity.
4. In the event of the motor overheating, wait for a few minutes for the machine to cool.
5. Do not operate the Winch with the cable wound less than five times around the drum,
never unwind the cable to the end.
6. Only wind the cable with the load positioned in front of the winch. If the load is positioned
laterally, the winding of the cable is not optimal, causing wear and damage to the cable
or Winch.
7. To achieve the maximum pulling capacity of the Winch it is necessary to ensure that the
voltage between the poles of the motor is always 12 V DC.
