8. Operation
8.1
Precautions
Warning! Read all instructions carefully. Failure to follow the instructions may result in
serious damage and severe injury.
Warning! To prevent serious injury from winch failure, do not use damaged equipment. If you observe any
abnormal noise or vibration, stop using the device immediately and have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Before use, make sure that the load is within the rated capacity.
If any part of the winch starts to bend, deform, or show any signs of damage, stop using the winch
immediately.
Warning! Do not let go of the handle when the pawl is in the unlocked position while there is a load on the
winch. The handle can spin violently and cause serious injury. Never try to stop a spinning handle.
Never unwind the line fully when pulling a load. Always keep
4 to 6 complete turns of line around the drum; otherwise, the line
may come loose from the drum.
8.2
Winching
To winch a load, proceed as follows:
1. Before connecting the line to the load, make sure that the winch and line are capable of pulling the load.
2. Place the pawl [2] in the reel-out position [c].
3. Detach the hook from the shaft and turn the handle counter-clockwise to reel out the line. The line and
hook must be routed under the shaft [3].
Warning! Make sure that the line does not get knotted, twisted, kinked or damaged.
Warning! Leave at least 4 full turns of line on the drum.
4. Attach the line to the load. For this purpose, carefully follow the instructions of the line/hook manufacturer.
5. Place a heavy blanket or rug (not incl.) over the line.
Warning! Keep all bystanders away from the winch, the line, and the load.
6. Place the pawl [2] in the reel-in position [a].
7. Turn the handle clockwise to reel in the load.
When winding the line on the drum, pack the coils tightly side by side, so that the next layers cannot slip
between the coils.
8. When the load is reeled in, secure it.
9. When the load is secured, place the pawl in the reel-out position [c] and turn the handle counter-clockwise
to release the strain on the line.
10. Remove the blanket or rug, and detach the line from the load.
11. Place the pawl back in the reel-in position [a] and turn the handle clockwise to wind the line on the drum.
12. Attach the hook to the shaft.
