PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
△
!
CAUTION;
Confirm signals when using the Air Winch with a partner.
When operating the Air Winch with a partner, make sure to confirm signals for safe
operation. Always obey the safety rules.
△
!
CAUTION;
Do not handle the operating switch when not necessary.
Do not operate the Air Winch until preparation is performed for lifting. This may lead to
un-safe preparation of the load and cause an accident.
△
!
CAUTION;
Do not over load the Air Winch.
Before operating the Air Winch make sure the load is within the rated load of the Air Winch
being used. Also, when pulling the load side ways, confirm the tensile strength of the rope
before proceeding.
△
!
CAUTION;
Do not over wind or proceed past the final 3 winds on the drum.
Over winding may result in override of rope from the drum.
Proceeding past the final 3 winds on the drum may lead to wire/rope override from the
drum.
If the rope falls from the drum it will cause a sudden shock to the load increasing the tension
on the wire/rope. It will also lead to an over load to the Air Winch causing a possible
accident.
Make sure the portion of the wire/rope which is connected to the drum is not directly holding
the load. It will release if the weight of the rated load is put on the connector. As s result it is
absolutely necessary to have a minimum of 3 winds of rope on the drum at all times.

WARNING
;
Do not turn “clutch handle” OFF while loading material.
・
This air winch is equipped with a “Clutch” to link the air motor and drum and to
release the air motor and drum. If this “clutch handle” is set-off while loading any
material, the drum is set free, and it might cause an accident of dropping load
material after the rope is rapidly wound off by the tension of the wire rope.
