Winch Extension Strap
Used when your rope isn’t long enough to reach the recovery anchor point,
extension straps are made from polyester webbing and come in various lengths
and load ratings to suit varying recovery situations.
Bow Shackles
Only bow shackles that are load rated should be used for vehicle recovery. Load
ratings are visible on the shackle and will be in the form of WLL (working load
limit) or SWL (safe working load). The shackles, or any other recovery
equipment, used should be sized correctly for the winching task.
Preparation before Winching
1) Connecting the remote control
When connecting the remote control,
always keep the remote control free
from the winch, rope and fairlead.
Always disconnect the remote control
when not in use.
2) Disengaging the clutch
Lift the clutch T-handle up and turn it in
a 90° counter-clockwise direction to the
“Disengaged” position. The rope can
now free spool off the drum. Never
disengage the clutch while the rope is
under load.
