warning
Cracking rope may cause serious injury
and even death of people in its way.
Do not cross a stretched rope and do not
stand over the rope.
Winch
A) Operation
The winch should only be used for the purposes for which
it was designed - helping to get vehicles, cargo or objects
out from a difficult position. The use of a winch for other
purposes is inconsistent with its intended use and may re-
sult in death, injury and property damage.
B) Repair
Use only genuine spare parts. If they are not available,
use parts with appropriate attestations and safety certi-
fications.
C) Overloading
Do not overload the winch.
Winch capacity specifications are maximum parameters,
not working parameters.
Remember that the winch pull force values are given for
the first fake of the rope on the drum and for perfect con-
ditions. Every obstacle (slope, mud, water, slushy terrain,
etc.) significantly reduces the winch pull force.
Any jerks while pulling are very dangerous and may lead
to breaking the rope, damaging to the winch as well as
serious injuries.
In the description of the winch capaci-
ty, the term "vertical pull" is mentio-
ned, under no circumstances may the
winch be used for vertical load lifting.
Both the winch and the rope are not
designed for such use. The term "ver-
tical pull" only serves to determine the
capacity and the technical parameters of the winch.
If the motor has heated up too much, stop working for
a few minutes - until it cools down.
If the motor stops, disconnect the power supply and diag-
nose the problem.
Overloading the winch may also cause rope damage.
D) Accidental switching on of the winch
Avoid accidental switching on of the
winch by mechanically disconnecting it
from the power supply by a high current
switch ("disconnecting switch"), located
on the positive wire. When the winch is
not in use, switch gear transmission le-
ver to "OUT" or "LUZ".
