External Use
In the case of external use, the winch must be covered and protected from rain
at all time. The risk of corrosion is increased further if high concentrations of salt
and/or humidity are present in the air. For such applications it may be necessary
to perform additional inspections and lubricate components more frequently.
Operating Environment
Unless indicated otherwise, the winch does not meet the requirements for the
following operating environments and must not be used in those environments:
•
Prolonged exposure to temperatures below -20°C
•
Presence of explosive gasses or vapours
•
Presence of volatile solvents
•
High concentration of dust or particulate matter
•
Acidic or otherwise highly corrosive environment
