Winch Accessories
The following accessories are necessary to attach the
winch to anchors, change direction of pull, and for safe
winching.
Gloves: Wire rope, through
use, will develop ЉbarbsЉ
which can slice skin. It is ex-
tremely important to wear pro-
tective gloves while operating
the winch or handling the wire
rope.
Avoid loose fitting
clothes or anything that could
become entangled in the wire
rope and other moving parts.
Snatch/Block Pulley: Used
properly, the multi-purpose
snatch block allows you to (1)
increase the winch’s pulling
power; and (2) change your
pulling
direction without
damaging the wire rope.
Proper use of the snatch block
is covered in
