 COMMISSIONING - USAGE

  

 

 

Do not use this equipment without having first fully read and understood the user manual. Failure 
to pay attention to these instructions whilst using this equipment poses a risk to your safety. 
Before using the equipment, please, observe and apply the following safety instructions: 
 

  The rated load of the winch indicates the force applied to the first layer on the drum. 

Overloading can damage the winch, motor or cable. For loads greater than 70% of the rated 
load, we recommend using a double-line with pulley block. This will reduce: 

 

the number of layers of cable on the drum,  

the load on the cable by 50%. When you double the line and attach the return line to the 
vehicle, attach it to the chassis or another load-bearing part. 

  The vehicle engine must be kept running while the winch is running in order to minimise the 

drain on the battery and maximise the power and speed of the winch. If the winch is operated 
for a considerable time with the engine off, the battery will drain and you may not be able to 
restart the engine. 

  Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it. We recommend that you carry out 

some trial runs to practice attaching the cable, familiarise yourself with the sounds your winch 
makes under different loads, observe the way the cable is wound around the drum, etc. 

  Inspect the cable and equipment before each use. A frayed or damaged cable must be replaced 

immediately. Only use a cable that meets the specifications recommended by the manufacturer. 

  Inspect the winch’s installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are secure before each use. 

  Never attach the cable to itself or it may become damaged. Always use a pulley block, sling or 

an appropriate-strength chain, as shown in the illustrations. 

  Store the remote control inside your vehicle in a place where it will not get damaged. 

  Any winch that looks to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn, or is not functioning 

correctly should no longer be used. 

  When towing a vehicle, only pull on parts specified by the vehicle manufacturer. 

  Only accessories and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer should be used. 

  Before using your winch, briefly test it in both directions. Even if the drum is only at an angle of a 

few degrees, ensure that the winch is well balanced, especially if you have used the clutch. The 
test will engage the gearbox with the drum once again if necessary.
