The four most important aspects of winch operation are:
1. Follow all safety instructions when operating winch.
2. Allow only people trained in safety and operation of the winch to operate the winch.
3. Subject each winch to a regular inspection and maintenance procedure.
4. Be aware of the winch capacity and weight of load at all times.
•
Winches are not designed or suitable for lifting, lowering or moving persons. Never lift loads over people.
• Winches equipped with a disengaging clutch are designed for pulling applications only. Do not use these winches in lifting applications.
Overload Device
An overload device is required on all winches with a rated capacity of over 1 metric ton used for lifting applications.
The overload device is integrated into the winch air motor and prevents the winch from lifting a load greater than the overload value listed in the
specifications chart. If an overload is detected, inlet supply air is stopped and the winch will not operate.
If the overload device is activated the load must be lowered and reduced. Alternative methods should be used to accomplish the task. To lower the
load reset the winch by pressing the "ON" button of the emergency stop device and action the winch control for wire rope payout.
Winch Controls
The spring loaded, motor mounted, live air manual throttle control valve is supplied as a standard feature on the winch. Optional remote throttle
controls may be available on some models. Reference the model code on the winch nameplate and compare it to the sales brochure to determine
your configuration. The throttle controls provide operator control of the motor speed and direction of drum rotation.
Winch Mounted Live Air Throttle (standard feature)
When viewed from the air motor, move the control throttle handle to the right (clockwise) to pay
out wire rope and to the left (counterclockwise) to haul in wire rope. Refer to the attached label.
To ensure smooth operation of the winch avoid sudden movements of the control valve. Sudden
movement of the control valve may activate the overload device. If this occurs reset the winch by
pressing the "ON" button of the emergency stop device and smoothly action the control valve.
Ensure the winch is not overloaded.
Remote Control Pendant (optional feature)
(Refer to Dwg. MHP1265)
Provides for remote winch control at distances up to 18 metres away from the winch motor. Pilot
air hoses connect the pendant to the winch motor to provide winch operation. The pendant control
throttle is a two lever movable control station. Direction of winch drum rotation is determined by the pendant control lever depressed.
Emergency Stop Device
(Refer to Dwg. MHP0754)
The emergency stop device is located at the air inlet of the winch on local control models, or on the pendant of remote control models. When
activated, winch drum rotation will immediately cease.
1. To start winch operation press the "ON" button.
2. To operate winch, press the "Haul-in" or "Payout" control lever.
3. In the event of an emergency all winch operation can be stopped by pushing the emergency stop button. This will prevent air from reaching
the winch motor which will stop any movement.
4. The "ON" button must be pushed to restart the winch after the "Emergency Stop" button have been used.
