Moving the Load
2.5.1
MOVE THE LOAD slowly and smoothly, only a small distance at fi rst.
Make sure the load is balanced and securely attached before con tinu ing.
2.5.2
TURN THE HANDLE CLOCKWISE to wind wire rope onto the drum. If
wire rope unwinds from the drum when the handle is rotated clockwise, the
wire rope is installed incorrectly.
Install the wire rope cor rect ly before
con tinu ing.
2.5.3
OBSERVE THE WIRE ROPE as it winds onto the drum. If it becomes
loose, uneven, or overlapped, stop the operation and rewind the wire rope
before continuing.
Continued operation with overlapped or uneven wire
rope can damage the wire rope and shorten its life.
2.5.4
MOVE THE LOAD slowly and smoothly, only a small distance at fi rst.
Make sure the load is balanced and securely attached before continuing.
2.5.5
OBSERVE THE WIRE ROPE as it winds onto the drum. If it becomes
loose, uneven, or overlapped, stop the operation and rewind the wire rope
before continuing. Continued operation with overlapped or uneven wire rope
can damage the wire rope and shorten its life.
Important!
• Obey a stop signal from anyone.
• Maintain tension on the wire
rope to keep it tightly and evenly
wound on the drum.
• If the winch and load are not vis-
ible during the entire op er a tion,
get help from another person.
• Appoint a supervisor if more
than one person is involved in
the operation. This will reduce
con fu sion and increase safety.
• When lifting a load, use a tag line
to keep the load from swinging or
twisting, while keeping yourself
away from the load.
• Remove the winch handle when
the winch is not in use, to help
avoid un au tho rized use.
