T26858/T26859 Hand Winch
-3-
To reel strap in:
1. Rotate rachet all the way down to IN setting.
2. If using high-torque axle, rotate crank coun-
terclockwise. If using low-torque axle, rotate
crank clockwise.
To reel strap out:
1. Rotate rachet all the way up to OUT setting.
2. If using high-torque axle, rotate crank clock-
wise. If using low-torque axle, rotate crank
counterclockwise.
To engage free spin:
1. Rotate rachet mid way between up and down
positions so it does not engage gears.
2. Pull out required length of strap, then re-
engage ratchet with gears.
Operations
1. Move ratchet to OUT setting and rotate crank
to feed slack into strap until safety hook
reaches load.
If you need more than a few feet of strap, it
is more effective to position ratchet in FREE
SPIN setting and pull out required length of
strap.
2. Connect hook to load, then reset ratchet at IN
setting.
3. Rotate crank to move load to desired posi-
tion.
4. Once load is supported by other means, feed
slack into strap and remove hook.
Maintenance
Keep the strap free from debris. Apply a thin coat
of NLGI#2 grease or equivalent to the gear teeth,
but keep grease away from strap.
Never place ratchet in free spin mode while
winch is under load. Doing so may result
in property damage and serious personal
injury.
