Thank you for buying a WINCHMAX brand winch. By using this product within its limitations
and following the instructions provided you can expect many years of trouble-free service.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THIS PRODUCT – FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. UNDERTAKE A FULL SAFETY CHECK AND RISK
Whilst we have attempted to provide comprehensive guidance for the safe operation of
this winch, it remains the operator's responsibility to evaluate and minimise the potential
risk before and during every operation. Keep these instructions for reference.
1. WARNINGS AND GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
•
To prevent entanglement in moving parts, no loose clothing or jewellery should be worn.
•
Good quality overalls, non-slip protective footwear, thick leather gloves and eye
protection should be worn.
•
It is the operator's responsibility to ensure he/she and all spectators remain at a safe
distance. For spectators, this should be at least 1.5 times the rope length being used.
•
Check your winch thoroughly, including all hydraulic and electrical connections
before use. Any damaged parts should be replaced, using only genuine parts.
•
Protect the winch from shock loads - do not allow the winch rope to be yanked by a
rolling load or moving vehicle. Never drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way.
•
If a wire rope breaks or pulls loose under load it can lash back with significant force.
•
With wire rope, it is a good idea to use a heavy winch blanket/damper draped over
the rope towards the hook end to reduce whiplash in the event of rope failure. The
vehicle bonnet can be raised to provide additional protection when operating from
inside the vehicle.
•
Do not use the winch if the rope is frayed or damaged.
•
Never handle the hook directly. Always use the hand-saver tab and protective gloves.
•
Never hook the winch rope back on itself as this can damage the rope.
•
Always electrically isolate the control system when not in use to protect against
unintended operation.
