GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION The winch and its all-derivative types are rated at rated capacity when spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloading can damage the winch/motor/ or wire rope. For loads over 70% of rated line pull, we recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line.
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 energy. d. Attach the hand saver hook to the clevis hook. e.
s. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes and place the vehicle in park. t. Release the tension on the wire rope. The winch is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods of time. u. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor. v.

RIGGING TECHNIQUES Self-Recovery Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder. Always use a sling as an anchor point. CAUTION Do not attach the clevis hook back onto the cable as this could cause damage to Fig 3.1 the cable.
WINCH WORKING DEMONSTRATION 1. Disengage the clutch by turning the clutch to the “CLUTCH OUT” position. 2. Grab the cable assembly (Part# SP0350008) and pull the cable to the desired length, then attach to item being pulled.
