Using the UMP with the Chain Anchors - Continued
Warning
Moving Parts Entanglement Hazard
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to severe injury or death
.
ALWAYS
keep hands clear of the wire rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead opening
during installation, operation and when spooling in or out.
ALWAYS
use supplied hook strap whenever spooling the wire rope in or out, during
installation, or operation to avoid injury to hands or fingers.
General Rigging Guidelines
Always choose an anchor point suitably
strong for the job.
Always spool out as much cable as
possible when preparing to pull a load.
Pick an anchor point as far away as
practical from the object you wish to pull.
This provides the winch with its greatest
pulling power.
Rigging a double line with a snatch block
will reduce the load on the winch to half
without significant loss of spooling speed.
Natural anchors such as trees, stumps
and rocks are the handiest when
available.
Attach the choker chain, wire choker rope
or tree trunk protector on the anchor as
low as possible to avoid pulling the
anchor down.
If several possible anchors are available
but they are not strong enough
individually, it may be practical to attach a
wire or chain choker around several
anchors to form a strong collective anchor
point
.
