GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Read and understand all information in this manual before installation and operation of winch. Ensure safety glasses,
safety shoes, hearing protection, and approved clothing are worn before operating the winch or entering the area dur-
ing winch operations. The user of Braden hoist products is responsible for winch safety, inspection, operator training,
and maintenance.

Wire Rope

1. Protective gloves should be used when handling wire

rope.

2. Never attempt to handle wire rope when the hook end

is not free. Keep all parts of the body and clothing
clear of the cable entry area of fairleads, rollers,
sheaves, and the winch drum.

3. When winding wire rope onto the winch drum, never

attempt to keep tension on the rope by allowing it to
slip through the hands. If it is necessary to tension
the cable by hand, use a hook or strap attached to the
wire rope as a grip point and walk toward the winch
as it is reeling-in.

4. To prevent wire rope failure, follow established guide-

lines such as ASME 30.7 and manufacturers specifi-
cations for replacing wire rope with broken strands or
fraying.

5. Use the correct wedge for anchoring wire rope in the

drum pocket. Refer to the materials list for the correct
wedge for the wire rope size used.

6. Wire rope anchors should not be relied upon to sup-

port the rated load. ALWAYS keep a minimum of five
(5) wraps of wire rope on the drum. It is recom-
mended that the last five (5) wraps of wire rope be
painted bright red to serve as a visual reminder.

Operating

1. Ensure personnel are clear of the lift area BEFORE

operating the winch.

2. Read all warning and caution tags provided for safe

operation and service of the hoist and become famil-
iar with the operation and function of all controls
before operating the winch.

3. Inspect rigging and winch at the beginning of each

work shift. Defects should be corrected immediately.
Do not operate a winch with defects.

4. An equipment warm-up procedure is recommended

for all start-ups and essential at ambient tempera-
tures below +40º (+4ºC). Refer to "Warm-up
Procedure" listed in the "Preventive Maintenance"
section of this manual.

5. Operate winch at line speeds to match job conditions.

6. Never operate the winch unless you are properly

positioned at the operator's controls and are sure per-
sonnel are clear of the lift area.

7. Do not exceed the maximum pressure (PSI, kPa) and

flow (scfm) given in the winch specifications section
of the sales brochure.

8. Assure that personnel responsible for hand signals

are clearly visible and that the signals to be used are
thoroughly understood by everyone.

9. Ground personnel should stay in view of the operator

and clear of the winch drum. Do not allow ground
personnel near wire rope under tension. A safe dis-
tance of 1.5 times the working length of the wire rope
should be maintained to ensure ground personnel are
clear of the recoil if the rope breaks.

10. Avoid sudden "shock" loads or attempting to "jerk" a

load free. This type of operation may cause heavy
loads in excess of rated capacity, which could result
in failure of wire rope, winch, or winch mounting
structure.

11. Before operating the winch, ensure ALL safety proce-

dures for the equipment or vehicle the winch is
mounted on are properly followed.

12. Do not lift people with the winch unless it is personnel

rated.

Installation

1. Do not weld on any part of the winch without approval

from PACCAR Winch Engineering.

2. Install guarding to prevent personnel form getting any

part of the body or clothing caught between the wire
rope and drum, wire rope and guide rollers, or any
potential pinch points.

3. Install switches or valves that will shut off power to

the winch and can be reached by anyone entangled
between the wire rope and the winch.

4. Whenever practical, "deadman" controls, which auto-
