Correct Use

The MSA Workman Winch is suitable for lifting, lowering and positioning either personnel or materials. It is designed for
use in conjunction with MSA anchorage connectors, fall arresters and other components to make up complete systems
for manriding, work positioning, material handling, emergency rescue and evacuation. MSA components are available
to provide backup fall arrest for all such systems.
The winch is a lifting / lowering / positioning winch only. It is not to be used as a fall arrest device.
Read these user instructions completely and inspect the device before and after each use. Read and heed all labels on
