For pulls over 70% rated line pull, we recommend the use of the
snatch block/pulley block to double line the wire rope. Fig 3.4
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the rope by up
to 50% depending on the included angle.
WARNING -
Never use your winch for overhead hoisting or for
lifting people or moving people.
LUBRICATION
1. All moving parts within the Winch having been Lubricated using high temperature
lithium grease at the factory. No internal lubrication is required.
2. Lubricate Cable Assembly periodically using a light penetrating oil.
CABLE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of strands breaking, it
must be replaced before being used again.
1.

“Free Spool” position.
2.
Extend cable assembly to its full length. Note how the existing cable is
connected to the drum.
3.
Remove old cable assembly and attach new one as the ld cable connected to
the drum. Insert the end of the new rope and secure the screw being tightly
screwed
4.
Turning clutch to the
“High Speed” position.
5.
Retract cable assembly onto drum, first five wraps being careful not to allow
