INTRODUCTION 

 

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE SET UP OR OPERATION OF THE WINCH 

 
Those responsible for the installation and the operation of this machine must read and understand this manual. 
The first section deals with the installation requirements and the second section provides information to ensure 
safe use of the machine.  
 
BHW winches are of the highest quality and have been designed to give a robust and efficient service for many 
years, if care and attention are given at all times to correct installation, operation and maintenance. 
 
 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BHW WINCH USERS 

 
This operating and maintenance manual must be made available to any user of this equipment and 
further copies are available by visiting 

www.bhwgroup.com/manuals

 or by contacting BHW Group on 

+44 (0)1482 223 663. Only operators who have been trained to operate the winch in a safe and proper manner 
should be allowed to use the BHW winch. 
 
Safe and correct use of the BHW winch can only be achieved after this manual has been read and fully 
understood and the user carefully follows the instructions. 
 
It is important that the winch is kept in good working order. The following should be checked every time it is used: 
 
 

Make sure the wire rope is of the correct diameter and construction. (See Page 4). 
The rope should be inspected regularly to ensure it is serviceable. 
(See ‘Care of the Wire Rope’ – Page 10). 

 

Slings, chains or any other securing device applied to an anchor point or the winch itself should be at least 
capable of dealing with the winch’s rated load capacity.  All ancillary equipment should be regularly 
inspected.  
If there are any cuts, breaks or damage on ancillary equipment, it must be replaced before use. 

 
Do not overload the machine and only use the handle provided to operate the winch.  
Nothing must be added to extend its length. 
 
Ensure the wire rope and machine are kept clean. 
 

BHW winches must not be used for lifting personnel. 

 

 

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL WITH THE MACHINE AND ENSURE THAT THE SERIAL NUMBER AND
