Check the electric wiring about every 90 days to insure good, tight connections.
Spooling under Load
Always ensure that wire rope passes between winch drum & mounting surface.
Always wind in the wire rope as evenly and tight as possible
CAUTION
Avoid shock loading the winch when spooling in. If this is done you can cause a hazardous condition that
can break the wire or damage the winch.
Avoid pulling at an angle for an extended period.
This will stack the wire up on side of the spool and cause serious damage to the winch.
You may have to reposition the wire a few times to allow the winch to pull in a straight line.
Rigging
Spool out as much wire as possible to the farthest object available.
Keep the wire in as straight a line as you can.
Pack the line back on the winch as evenly as possible when retrieving the wire rope.
Natural anchors like trees, stumps and rocks are the better choices.
Always use a tree saver where ever possible.
Only connect the wire rope to an object that will be able to resist the pulling power of the winch being used.
Using a double line with a snatch block will reduce the load on the winch to about half.
The lower the amp load on the winch the longer it will take to heat up the motor.
Examples of Winching Techniques
These are some good examples on how to rig the wire rope for pulling.
Always pull as straight as possible.
Do not connect to anchoring objects that will not withstand the load applied to them.
Do not allow the wire rope to gather on one side of the winch.
It can damage or break the winch.
Pulling with a single line
