2.4 

Preparing for Operation

Read and comply with the guidelines set forth in this Owner’s Manual. 

Keep this manual, and all labels attached to the winch, readable and 

with the equipment at all times. Contact Thern, Inc. for replacements.

Do not walk or work under a load or in the line of force of any load.

Do not exceed the load rating of the winch or any other component in the 

system. To do so could result in failure of the equipment and/or personal 

injury.

The winch must have two, independent, fail-safe brakes in functioning condition. 

Do not use more than one winch to move a common rider.

Do not use damaged or malfunctioning equipment. To do so could result in 

failure of the equipment, or personal injury.

Do not modify the equipment in any way. To do so could cause equipment 

failure, or personal injury. 

Do not operate the winch with guards removed or improperly installed.

Do not operate the winch without the anti-tamper tag on the static  and 

dynamic brake release nuts.

Do not operate the winch in windy conditions. If the rider begins to sway from 

the wind, return the person to safe ground and continue the lifting operation 

when the wind has subsided.

Do not use the installation lifting ears for regular lifting operations. The 

lifting ears are only for transporting the winch.

Check lubricant before use.

2.4.1 

CONSIDER THE OPERATION. Do not begin until you are sure you can 

perform the entire operation without hazard.

2.4.2 

A PRE-OPERATION MEETING attended by the winch operator, ground 

crew, signalperson, persons to be lifted and the person in charge of the 

task to be performed shall be held to plan and review the procedure to be 

followed, including:

 

 Signals.

 

  Procedures for safe use and attachment of rider.

 

  Appropriate number of signal persons and ground crew.

 

  Designate responsibility.

 

a

  THIS MEETING SHALL BE HELD prior to the beginning of operations at 

each new work location and thereafter for any new employees assigned to 

the operation.

 

b

  DURING THIS MEETING it is recommended that a comprehensive plan 

to cover emergency procedures be worked out prior to exercising the winch 

capabilities.
