Part 2- Essential Winch Accessories & Equipment
Your Q series winch is the ultimate recovery tool. However,
this winch is designed to be used with other helpful
accessories to safely ensure you can get “un-stuck”. You
never know how or where you will get stuck and having
the right tools will help increase the usefulness of your
winch while creating a safe winching experience.
At the minimum we suggest the following accessories be
carried with you at all times. All of these items are readily
available by themselves or in handy money saving kits from
Quadratec.com:
>
Leather Gloves
>
Winch Hook Strap
(Standard on Q Series Winch)
>
Tree Trunk Protector
>
Heavy Duty D-Ring
>
Snatch Block
>
Shovel, Hand Tools and Safety Goggles
Leather Gloves
Winch line is quite strong. It
can have sharp barbs
and/or slivers on the line
that can cut your hands. To
protect yourself you should
always use leather gloves
while using your winch.
Please also note that before
you begin your recovery operation, you should remove or
secure all loose clothing to make sure it does not interfere
with the winch and can not possibly create a safety hazard.
