of the winch line is properly spliced or swaged. Wire rope (winch line) may be old, damaged or weak-
ened by such defects as kinks, cuts, extreme bends or loops. Such conditions are potentially dangerous
and detrimental to safe operation of the winch. The wire rope must be routinely inspected at regular
intervals and replaced when worn. See Maintenance Section 6.01 for replacement criteria.

Loads on the winch, winch line or extension shaft should not exceed their rated capacity.

Make certain that the winch clutch is positively engaged before starting the pull.

Do not operate the winch at speeds faster than necessary.

When pulling in, do not allow the wire rope to build up in one location on the drum. This can cause
wire rope ʺroll-overʺ and possible erratic, damaging pulls.
