CHART 6.
ROLLING LOAD CAPACITY AT DIFFERENT ANGLES ON FIRST LAYER OF CABLE.
The rolling weight performance shown includes a 12% rolling friction factor, and is based upon a hard level smooth surface. A 10% incline
means a rise of 1m in 10m (fig C).

3.1.
MOUNTING THE WINCH.
3.1.1. Mounting.
1. Choose the winch mounting location with care as it may not be designed to support the pulling capacity of a winch (especially if
mounting on a vehicle). The mounting point must be capable of withstanding loads above the maximum rated capacity of the winch.
Ensure the mounting point is protected from deterioration or corrosion over the lifetime of the winch use. We recommend the
mounting point is reinforced with steel plates and appropriate securing bolts.
2. Before fixing, ensure the power supply cables will easily reach the battery.
3. Use the washers, bolts and nuts to fix the winch to the mounting plate (see fig.1). The motor, drum and gear housing must be correctly aligned.
4. Once fixed in place, the winch must be protected against the elements at all times.
5. Ensure there is an appropriate safe, dry, childproof location for the storage of the power cables and switches when not in use.
3.2.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION.
3.2.1. Battery cable connection.
1. Ensure connection to the battery is undertaken in accordance with the safe connecting and handling instructions for the battery.
2. Ensure the power cables are safely routed away from the winch cable and will not be accidentally caught up in the winching process.
