Please contact us if you have any questions about line types.
DO NOT USE A 3-STRAND YELLOW PROPYLENE LINE !
●
POLYPROPYLENE AND POLYETHYLENE LINES ARE DANGEROUS FOR
PULLING DUE TO THEIR SIGNIFICANT ELASTICITY AND THEIR LOW
MELTING POINT.
●
MAKE SURE THAT THE LINE IS NOT DAMAGED AND OFFERS ADEQUATE
RESISTANCE FOR THE LOAD TO BE PULLED.
STRETCHING = DANGER!
●
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. BE CAREFUL WHEN
RELEASING THE TENSION IN THE LINE.
●
ALL LINES STRETCH; INCREASE IN LENGTH; THE MORE THE LINE IS PULLED,
THE MORE IT STRETCHES.
●
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE THE LOAD TO MOVE IN AN
UNEXPECTED AND DANGEROUS MANNER.
●
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE IT TO RELAX AND MOVE
BACKWARDS QUICKLY, PULLING YOUR HAND TOWARDS THE WINCH
OR CAUSING SEVERE BURNS. NEVER WIND THE LINE AROUND YOUR
HAND.
3.3
Line maintenance.
PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR LINE BEFORE
EACH USE. IF IT PRESENTS SIGNS OF OBVIOUS WEAR
(CHOPPED STRANDS, EXCESSIVE ABRASION), CHANGE IT.
IF YOUR LINE IS DIRTY, CLEAN IT. A DIRTY LINE CAN
QUICKLY BECOME DAMAGED AND CAUSE PREMATURE
WEAR TO THE PARTS IN CONTACT WITH IT.
3.4
Recommended knots.
You must attach the load to the end of
the line.
Although a simple knot may sometimes
suffice, we recommend using a bowline
knot (fig. A).
This knot maintains around 70% of the
line's capacity while most knots reduce
the line's capacity by 50% or more.
In addition, it may be easy to undo after
use even if a heavy load has been pulled.
Even better, the double bowline knot (fig.
B) allows you to maintain approx. 75% of
the line's capacity.
BEFORE USING THE ELECTRIC DEVICE, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
BEARING A COMPLIANCE MARK.
IN CASE OF EXTENDED USE, MAKE SURE YOU USE SUITABLE
HEARING PROTECTION BEARING A COMPLIANCE MARK.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
