• Align the tractor with the load to prevent side loading
the winch, and to maintain even spooling of the
wire rope.
• If applying tension to the wire rope manually during
spooling:
»
ensure that the operator is winching in slowly,
»
keep your hands and clothing well clear of any
rollers or the winch drum,
»
do not maintain tension by letting the wire rope
to slip through your hands,
»
use a hand-over-hand technique to maintain
tension.
• Be aware of the ground conditions, and make sure
the ground and tractor are stable enough to pull
the intended load.
• Do not attempt to pull loads in excess of the rated
capacity of the winch.
