"breaking" and tangling. If the rope starts to tangle or
fold, stop using the winch, secure the pulled load, partial-
ly unwind the rope and start winding again. If this does not
work, loosen the rope and straighten it manually.
13. To stabilize the vehicle when pulling loads, it is recom-
mended to use stop blocks..
warning
Fully extending the winch rope and running
the winch under load can result in pulling rope
mounting from the drum, damaging the equip-
ment and serious injury of persons nearby.

MoUnTing ThE winch
1. Particular care should be taken not to chamfer the
winch during installation, which may lead to permanent
damage.
2. The winch shall be mounted in a suitable place.
3. The power of the winch must be adapted to the vehicle,
mounting place and method.
4. Winch should be mounted on a sturdy steel frame using
a 4- or 8-point mounting system. The winch must be moun-
ted horizontally.
5. It is important to mount the winch on a flat surface that
is technologically adapted to support the winch.
6. A special mounting plate, suitably chosen to the winch
model is recommended. The higher pull power of the
winch, the thicker mounting plate must be used (e.g. for
12,000 lbs - the minimum plate thickness is 6mm). Original
bolts are adapted to the minimum thickness of the moun-
ting plate.
7. If a thicker plate is used the bolts should be replaced
with new ones of at least the same hardness and appro-
priate length, so that the screw fully extends out of the
nut.
