4) Figure 4: Attach the winch anchor hooks to the eye bolts of the vertical pull winch support;
5) Figure 5: Install rope from above in the redirection pulley by threading the rope end or by
removing the bent hitch pin. Wrap the rope around the drum according to the load
requirement as detailed in section 3.4.2.2 and align the vertical support pulley with the
rope axe.
MAKE SURE THE BENT HITCH PIN IS SECURED WITH THE R-PIN
PRIOR TO PULLING.
IMPORTANT: D
ON’T GO OVER THE ROPE ENTRY PULLEY OF THE
WINCH WITH THE ROPE (FIGURE 2 BELOW) AS IT WILL CREATE FRICTION AND WILL
REDUCE LIFTING CAPACITY. GO UNDER THE ROPE ENTRY PULLEY (FIGURE 1 BELOW).
IN THIS CASE, THE ROPE ENTRY PULLEY OF THE WINCH WILL NOT BE USED.
IMPORTANT: AFTER PULLING FOR A FEW SECONDS, RELEASE THE
TENSION AND CHECK THE SOLIDITY OF THE INSTALLATION.
3.4 Moving a load
USING COMMON SENSE WHILE MOVING A LOAD IS THE KEY TO A
SECURE WINCH USAGE.
The great variety of situations encountered when winching prevents us from providing specific
instructions; however you need to consider the following points:
CHECK WINCH POSITION, ROPE CONDITION, SOLIDITY OF THE ANCHOR
POINT, KNOTS, CARABINERS OR SHACKLES IN ORDER TO PREVENT INJURIES OR
MATERIAL DAMAGE.
INSTALL THE ROPE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT DOES NOT RUB AGAINST
OTHER OBJECTS OR THROUGH AN OBSTRUCTION.
GENERALLY, IF THE ROPE TOUCHES AN OBJECT, YOUR INSTALLATION IS
INCORRECT.
