Inspect the winch before each use:
»
Make sure that the controls and instruments
operate correctly.
»
Report the need for repairs immediately.
»
Do not work with a damaged or worn wire rope.
»
Do not use a winch that needs repairs.
»
If the wire rope and ferrule must be removed
from the drum, make sure the end of the
wire rope and ferrule are controlled when
the ferrule is released. The end of the wire
rope can suddenly move from the drum like
a compressed spring when the ferrule is
released, and cause an injury.
•
Stay in the operator’s seat when operating the
winch.
•
Do not stand on the vehicle when operating the
winch.
•
Avoid winch operation near people or other
machines.
•
Never stand nor permit others to stand in the bight
(loop) of a wire rope.
•
Do not stand nor permit others to be near the winch
or wire rope when there is tension on the wire rope.
•
Observe jobsite rules.
•
Be in complete control at all times.
•
Do not use the control levers as hangers for clothes,
water bags, grease guns, lunch pails, etc.
•
Do not leave the vehicle when the winch wire rope
is under tension.
•
Do not permit riders on the vehicle or load.
•
Do not use the winch as an anchor for a double or
two-part line.
•
Do not pull the hook through the throat or over the
drum, which will cause damage.
•
When the winch is not in use, make sure the control
lever is in
BRAKE-ON
position and the winch brake
is applied.
•
Do not use winch as a hoist. Tractor and skidder
mounted winches are designed for towing.
•
Always inspect wire rope, tail chain and other rigging
components for wear, damage, broken strands or
abuse before use.
•
Never use wire rope, tail chain or other rigging that
is worn-out, damaged or abused.
•
Never overload wire rope, tail chain or rigging.
•
Wire rope and tail chain will fail if worn-out,
overloaded, misused, damaged, improperly
maintained or abused. Wire rope or tail chain failure
may cause serious injury or death!

•
Do not terminate wire rope to tail chain by the use
of a knot.
•
Do not handle wire rope if the hook end is not free.
A load could break away, suddenly tensioning the
wire rope, resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Stay clear of wire rope entry areas (fairlead or arch
rollers, winch drum etc).
•
Make sure ground personnel are in plain view of the
operator, and at a distance of at least 1½ times the
working length of the wire rope.
