Winching Procedures

3). Secure anchor point

It is very important that an anchor point is strong enough to

hold the load while winching. Do not wrap the rope around

the load and back onto itself. Always use a strap to ensure

that the wire/synthetic rope does not fray or kink.

4). Setting the vehicle engine

The recovery vehicle engine should be running to provide

maximum power to the winch. The transmission shall be

set in neutral, hand brake applied ad wheel chocked or

vehicle anchored to prevent the vehicle from moving.

5). Attach shackle and hook

Use a shackle to lock both ends of tree trunk

protector, and then attach to the wire/synthetic rope

hook.

6). Begin winching

Keep force on the rope to ensure it winds onto the drum

evenly. Release hand brake and continue pulling until the

vehicle is recovered.

7). Secure vehicle

Once the vehicle is secured, wind the rope back onto the

drum evenly and secure the hook firmly.

8). Disconnect remote control

Take remote control out of the socket and store it in a safe

and dry place.
