6. Pull the wire rope off of the winch
spool and route it through the
roller guide. Unwind enough wire
rope to make the hook-up being
sure that a minimum of at least
five (5) wraps of wire rope remains
on the drums.
7. Attach the wire rope hook to a
chain sling, or bridle and hook
securely to the work. Be sure of
this hook up; you don’t want it
breaking loose during the pull.
(See the safety sections earlier
in this manual). Do not connect
to thin or loose body panels or
components that could break
loose during the winching
operation. Slings and bridles are
usually designed with hook
clusters on them. Most chassis
manufacturer’s provide tie-down
hooks and/or slots in chassis
frames that may be able to be
used as recovery attachment
points. (Consult the Chassis
Manufacturer’s Towing Manual
and/or the American Automobile
Association (AAA) Towing
Manuals.)
7. Reengage the winch “free-spool”
by turning the handle back 90°.
