You alone are in charge of your pull so do not rush to get it
done. Plan your recovery and pull to the plan is the best
way to safely get out of any situation. Prior practice using
your winch and having the correct tools and accessories
available before a needed recovery will help you with your
plan and allow you the best options for a safe winch pull.
Winching guidelines to always remember
Each recovery operation is different from the last. However,
if you always remember the following guidelines, each pull
will be a safe and successful pull:
>
Think Safety at all times.
>
Plan your pull and pull to the plan.
>
Practice using your winch often.
>
Assess your situation carefully and take your time.
>
Always use the proper equipment for each pull.
>
Always use leather gloves
>
Never let the wire rope slide through your hands.
>
You are in charge of the pull and should be
the ONLY person to handle the winch, the winch
controller and winch cable.
