For loads over 70% of rated line pull, it is recommend to use a pulley block/snatch block to double rope line. When doubling line, number of layers on Winch Drum is reduced and load on Synthetic Rope is reduced by as much as 50%.
- Set Free Spooling Clutch to “DISENGAGED” and pull out a few inches of Synthetic Rope. - Feed Synthetic Rope through opening in Fairlead. 3. Make electrical and component connections per See SuperATV instructions. CAUTION - Remove all jewelry and wear eye protection when making battery connections.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES: Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder. Always use a sling/tree strap as an anchor point. sling/tree strap Do not winch from an acute angle. Synthetic Rope will pile up on one side of Winch Drum causing damage to Synthetic Rope and Winch.
