•
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.
•
Make sure that any hand signals used by ground
personnel are clearly defi ned and understood by
everyone involved.
•
Do not attempt to “jerk” or “shock” a load free. Doing
so can cause loads in excess of the rated capacity
of the wire rope, winch, or mounting hardware.
•
Replace any parts only with genuine Allied Winch
parts. Refer to parts manual 599782W.
• Maintain
a minimum of three (3) complete wraps
of wire rope
on the drum for normal operation. It
may help to paint the last fi ve wraps of wire rope
a contrasting color, to serve as a visual indicator.
•
Do not handle wire rope with bare hands. Wear
leather gloves at all times.
•
Align the tractor with the load to prevent side loading
the winch, and to maintain even spooling of the
wire rope.
