 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 

 
 

All users should read the usage instructions carefully before first use. These instructions should 
enable the user to familiarise themselves with the winch and achieve the best performance 
possible. The usage instructions contain important information about how to use the winch 
correctly and safely. By acting in accordance with these instructions, you will avoid hazards, 
reduce repair costs, reduce downtime and increase reliability and extend the life of the winch. The 
instruction manual should always be available at the winch’s point of use. In addition to the usage 
instructions and the relevant regulations for the prevention of accidents, it is also important to 
consider the applicable health and safety regulations in force in each country. 

 

The winch can produce significant pulling forces. If it is used in an unsafe or inappropriate way, it 
could result in damaged equipment, serious injury or death. Throughout this manual, you will find 
the following symbols, indicating cautions, warnings and hazards. Pay particular attention to the 
notes accompanying these symbols because they are written for your own safety. As the operator, 
you are responsible for using this device safely. 

 

 

 

CAUTION 

This indicates a potentially hazardous  situation which, if not 
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. This symbol is 
also used to warn you against unsafe practices. 

 

 

 

WARNING 

This indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not 
avoided, could result in death or serious injury. 

 

 
These winches allow loads to be moved using an appropriate steel or synthetic cable. They have 
been designed to pull up to a determined rated load and with a static system safety factor of 3. 

 

  The rated load indicated on the winch corresponds to the maximum operating load; this must 

not be exceeded under any circumstances. 
 

 

U

NDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY THIS WINCH BE USED FOR 

HOISTING OR TO LIFE OR MOVE PEOPLE

.  

  Do not start pulling the load until it has been correctly secured and all personnel have left the 

danger area. 

  Before each use, the operator must verify that the winch, its cable, its hook, its markings and its 

mounting are all in good condition. 

  The operator must ensure that the load is attached in such a way that the winch, cable and load 

do not pose a danger to themselves or others. 

 
The use of winches requires strict compliance with the relevant health and safety practices in the 
country in which the winch is used. 

 

  HUCHEZ does not accept any responsibility for consequences resulting from the use or 

installation of devices not covered in this manual, nor does HUCHEZ accept any responsibility 
for the consequences of disassembly, modification or replacement of original parts or 
components with third-party parts or components without HUCHEZ’s written consent.
