Fieryred HAND-WINCH-R, User Manual

INSTALLATION

Install the hand winch in a location where the load and the rope / strap can be observed during

the operation, and inspection and maintenance can be conducted easily.

Set the winch height to easy-work-height. 

Fix the winch to the installation base with bolts and nuts.

OPERATION

Let Rope / Strap Out:

Disengage the ratchet pawl (roll the ratchet handle down) and slowly pull out the rope / strap. If

you must stop before the rope / strap reaches the desired location, be sure the ratchet pawl is

engaged (the ratchet handle is rolled up) to hold the rope / strap there.

Take Load In:

Be sure the ratchet pawl is engaged. As you turn the handle, make sure the rope / strap is winding

onto the drum properly. If you must stop before the load is fully in, be sure the ratchet pawl is

engaged and gradually release the winch handle.

Shift:

Make sure that the ratchet pawl is properly engaged

before attempting to change gears. Relocate the

winch handle onto a different input shaft.

Solution

Problem

The drum does not turn
when the handle is turned.

Make sure the ratchet pawl is 
engaged.

The load to be pulled is
too heavy.

Excessive force needs to
be applied to the handle.

Set the load down carefully and 
check the real weight to be pulled. 
The load must not

exceed the

limit force of the winch.

The load may be caught
on something.

Suddenly, the handle
becomes heavy to rotate.

Stop the operation. Restart after
removing obstacles.

The rope / strap is twisted
or kinked.

Remove the twist or kink.

The gears have lost their
lubrication.

The winch vibrates or

“

whistles”.

Lubricate the gears.
