Page 6: Unpacking
ATTENTION The wire rope capacity depends on the rolling tension and the distribution of the wire rope over the drum. The actual capacity may be 25-30% below the specified length due to uneven winding of the wire rope or crisscrossing of the wire rope Unpacking Some models are equipped with lifting lugs to facilitate manipulation of the equipment during the installation. -

Page 8: Gear Reducer Orientation And Lubrication
Gear Reducer Orientation and Lubrication It is important to always maintain an adequate level of gear oil for the size and orientation of the reducer. Unless otherwise specified, the reducer is filled for horizontal use. Consult the maintenance section for recommended gear oil types and amounts. -
Page 9: Winding Of The Wire Rope
Winding of the Wire Rope WARNING The wire rope must always be installed on the drum in a way that allows it to come out from underneath the drum as indicated on the diagram below: Operator`s Manual – Electric Winch 2018-08-03, rev 1... -
Page 10: Electrical Connections
Electrical Connections WARNING If the motor rotation is reversed some options (like the limit switches) will not function properly which may lead to injury or equipment damage. All electric connections must be performed by a qualified electrician. Do not neglect to verify the current draw and the length of the power cable. Improper connections or conductor sizing may cause the winch to overheat even with no load. - Page 11 WARNING Never change the wiring in the control pendant to reverse the motions, options like limit switches will not function properly. Operator`s Manual – Electric Winch 2018-08-03, rev 1...
- Page 12 ATTENTION Never connect 115V single phase motors in a standard household socket. Even tough some models may work; household circuits are not sized for such applications and the winch may interfere with other devices on the circuit. Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting industrial equipment to the electrical grid.

Page 13: Using The Equipment
Using the Equipment Before using any industrial equipment, the operator must be instructed on how to use the equipment, how to stop the equipment in the event of an emergency and how to identify, avoid and prevent risk situations. Before starting the machine, the operator must ensure the maneuver can be performed safely (ex.: the equipment is in order, the lift path is clear, the load will not go over other workers, etc.). - Page 14 ATTENTION Never exceed a fleet angle of ±2° as indicated in the image below: Dangerous Practices to be Avoided DO NOT use a damaged, broken or otherwise malfunctioning winch DO NOT use a winch before having read and understood the operator`s manual DO NOT use a winch that has been modified without the written approval of the manufacture or a qualified engineer...
- Page 15 Recommended Practices Inspect the winch at the beginning of each work shift. See Daily Inspection for details Protect the wire rope from weldment splashes and other contaminants Be familiar with all the equipment`s functions and safety procedures Turn off/lock out/tag out any malfunctioning equipment and inform the person in charge as soon as possible Make sure the limit switches (if applicable) function properly Signal your intent to move a load to people around you...
