WINCHING TECHNIQUES A-Z
a. Take time to asses your situation and plan your pull.
b. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
c. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling and to save battery power.
d. Attach the hand saver hook to the clevis hook (If Included).
e. Pull out the wire rope to your desired anchor point using the hand saver hook.
f. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: Sling, chain or snatch block. Do not
attach the hook back onto the wire rope always use a winching point.
g. Engage the clutch.
h. Connect the remote control to the winch.
i. Start your engine to ensure power is being replenished to the battery.
j. Power in the wire rope guiding the wire under tension to draw up the slack in the
wire. Once the wire is under tension stand well clear. Never step over or stand near
any rope under tension..
k. Double-check your anchors and make sure all connections are secure.
l. Inspect the wire rope. Make sure there are at least 5 wraps of wire rope around the
winch drum.
m. Drape a blanket or jacket over the wire rope approximately 5 to 6 feet from the
hook. Open the hood for added protection.
n. Clear the area. Make sure all people or operatives are well back and that no one is
directly in front or behind the vehicle or anchor point.
o. Begin winching. Be sure that the wire rope is winding evenly and tightly around the
drum. The vehicle or equipment that is being winched can be slowly driven to add
assistance to the winching process. Avoid shock loading especially lowering under
tension as this will damage brake or winch.
p. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in neutral and the emergency brake
released. Only release the brake pedal when under full tension. Avoid shock loads to
the winch. This can damage the winch, rope and vehicle.
q. The winch is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single line rig do not
power in for more than a minute without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes
and then resume the winching operation.
