If the winch motor stalls, do not continue to apply power to
the winch.
GERNERAL SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS
ATW6000 is a powerful machine. Treat it with respect, use it with caution and
always follow the safety guidelines.
The wire rope or synthetic rope before the winch stalls. For
heavy loads, use a pulley block to reduce the load on the wire rope.
1. Maximum working load capacity is on the first layer closest to the drum
is around 6000lbs (2040kgs). Do not overload. Do not attempt prolonged
pulls at heavy loads. Overloads can damage the winch and/or the wire
rope and create unsafe operating conditions. For loads over 1,000 pounds
we recommend the use of a pulley block to double line the wire rope.
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the wire rope by
approximately 50%. Attach hook to load bearing parts. The vehicle engine
should be running during winch operation. If considerable winching is
performed with the engine of, the battery may become too weak to re-start
the engine.
2. After reading and understanding this manual, learn to use your winch.
After installing the winch practice using it.
3. Do not move your vehicle to assist the winch in pulling the load. The
combination of the winch and vehicle pulling together could overload the wire
rope and winch.
4. Keep a safety distance. Ensure that all people stand well clear of winch
during the operation. Always stand clear of wire rope, hook and winch. To
avoid the unlikely event of component failure, it is best that you and other are
out of harms way.
5. Inspect the wire rope and equipment frequently. A frayed wire rope with
broken strands should be replaced immediately. Always replace wire rope
with T-MAX’s identical replacement part. Periodically check the winch
installation to ensure that all bolts are tight.
6. Use leather gloves when handling the wire rope. Do not let the wire rope
slide through your hands even when wearing gloves.
7. Never winch with less than 5 turns of wire rope or synthetic rope around
