8.2. Operating the winch 

 

Preparation before winching 

 

1.  Take some time to assess the situation and prepare your winching operation appropriately. 

2.  Wear gloves to protect your hands. 

3.  Disengage the clutch by turning the switch to the DISENGAGE position. This will allow the 

cable to unwind freely and will save energy. 

4.  Attach the safety strap to the hook. 

5.  Pull the cable to the desired anchor point using the safety strap. 

6.  Attach the  hook to the anchor point using a sling, chain or a pulley block. Do not hook the 

cable onto itself. 

7.  Engage the gearbox by turning the switch to the ENGAGE position. 

8.  Connect the remote control to the winch. 

9.  Start the vehicle engine to ensure that the battery is charging. The vehicle engine must be 

running to provide maximum power to the winch. The vehicle should be in neutral with the 
handbrake applied. Chock the wheels to prevent it from moving. 

10. Gradually put the cable under tension by gently guiding it. Once the cable is under tension, 

keep a safe distance. Never step on the cable. 

11. Check the anchor points and make sure all connections are secure. 

12. Inspect the cable. Make sure there are the minimum number of turns required around the 

drum. 

13. Place a blanket or jacket over the cable about 1.50 m from the hook. Open the vehicle bonnet 

for extra protection. 

14. Make sure the area is clear. Ensure that all other people keep a safe distance away and that 

no one is directly in front of or behind either the vehicle or the anchor point. 

 

 

Winching operation 

 

15. Start winching. Ensure the cable wraps evenly and tightly around the drum. The towing vehicle 

may be driven slowly to assist the winching process. Avoid jolting the cable. Keep the cable 
under tension. 

16. If towing a vehicle, the vehicle in question must be in neutral with handbrake released. Only 

release the brake pedal when maximum tension is reached. Avoid jolting the load as this could 
damage the winch, the cable and the vehicle. 

17. The winch is designed for intermittent use. When pulling a full load with a single line, do not 

winch for more than one minute at a time. Allow the motor to cool for a few minutes, then 
resume winching. 

18. Winching is complete once the vehicle in question is on stable ground and can be driven under 

its own power. 

19. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to park the vehicle and apply the brakes. 

20. Release the tension on the cable. The winch is not designed to hold the vehicle for a long time. 

21. Detach the cable from the anchor point. 

22. Rewind the cable. Ensure that all of the cable already wrapped around the drum has been 

wound correctly. If this is not the case, pull the cable out and wind it again with the cable under
