Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES
Self-Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or
boulder.
Always use a sling as an anchor point.
CAUTION
Do not attach the clevis hook back onto cable as this could cause damage to
the cable. As shown in Fig 3.1
Do not winch from an acute angle as the wire rope will pole up on one side of
the drum causing damage to wire rope and the winch. Fig 3.2
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the vehicle. Long pulls
should be done with the wire rope at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket over the wire rope five or six
feet from the hook. In the event of a broken cable it will dampen the snap back.
For additional protection open the hood of the vehicle as shown in Fig 3.3
For pulls over 1,000 lbs. we recommend the use of the snatch block/pulley block
to double line the wire rope. Fig 3.4 This reduces the load on the winch and the strain
on the rope by approximately 50%.
WARNING –
Never use your winch for overhead hoisting or for lifting people or
moving people.
