General Operating Instructions
The following warnings and operating instructions have been
adapted in part from American National (Safety) Standard
ASME B30.7 and are intended to avoid unsafe operating
practices which might lead to injury or property damage.
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who use
winches have a safety program in force at their facility. In the
event that some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this
publication and a similar rule already set by an individual
company, the more stringent of the two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator
aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are not necessarily
limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the
manual for additional safety information.
1.
Only allow people, trained in safety and operation of this
product, to operate and maintain this winch.
2.
Only operate a winch if you are physically fit to do so.
3.
When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on the
winch, or controls, do not operate the winch until the sign
has been removed by designated personnel.
4.
Before each shift, the operator should inspect the winch for
wear and damage. Never use a winch that inspection
indicates is worn or damaged.
5.
Never lift a load greater than the rated capacity of the
winch. See nameplate attached to winch or refer to
“SPECIFICATIONS” section.
6.
Keep hands, clothing, etc., clear of moving parts.
7.
Never place your hand in the throat area of a hook or near
wire rope spooling onto or off of the winch drum.
8.
Always rig loads properly and carefully.
9.
Be certain the load is properly seated in the saddle of the
hook. Do not support the load on the tip of the hook.
10. Do not “side pull” or “yard”.
11. Always ensure that you, and all other people, are clear of
the path of the load. Do not lift a load over people.
12. Ease the slack out of the wire rope when starting a lift or
pull. Do not jerk the load.
13. Do not swing a suspended load.
14. Do not leave a suspended load unattended.
15. Never operate a winch with twisted, kinked or damaged
wire rope.
16. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating the
winch.
17. Never use the wire rope as a sling.
18. After use, or when in a non-operational mode, the winch
should be secured against unauthorized and unwarranted
use.
