Oil Level - Portable Winch PCW3000 Instrucciones De Operación / Seguridad

DO NOT USE A 3-STRAND YELLOW POLYPROPYLENE LINE!
POLYPROPYLENE AND POLYETHYLENE LINES ARE DANGEROUS FOR PULLING
●
DUE TO THEIR ELASTICITY AND THEIR LOW MELTING POINT.
● MAKE SURE THAT THE LINE IS NOT DAMAGED AND OFFERS ADEQUATE
RESISTANCE FOR THE LOAD TO BE PULLED.
STRETCHING = DANGER!
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. BE CAREFUL WHEN
●
RELEASING THE TENSION IN THE LINE.
● ALL LINES STRETCH: INCREASED LENGTH: THE MORE THE LINE IS PULLED, THE
MORE IT STRETCHES.
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE THE LOAD TO MOVE IN AN UNEXPECTED
●
AND DANGEROUS MANNER.
STRETCHING THE LINE MAY CAUSE IT TO RELAX AND MOVE BACKWARDS
●
QUICKLY, PULLING YOUR HAND TOWARDS THE WINCH OR CAUSING SEVERE
BURNS. NEVER WIND THE LINE AROUND YOUR HAND.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
3.1.2 Rope maintenance
PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE LINE BEFORE
EACH USE. IF IT SHOWS OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR
(STRANDS CUT, EXCESSIVE ABRASION) THEN CHANGE IT.
IF YOUR LINE IS DIRTY, CLEAN IT. A DIRTY LINE CAN
QUICKLY BECOME DAMAGED AND CAUSE PREMATURE
WEAR OF PARTS WHICH COME INTO CONTACT WITH IT.
3.1.3 Recommended knots
You must attach the load to the end of the line. Although a simple
knot may sometimes suffice, we recommend using a bowline knot
(fig. 1). This knot holds approximately 70% of the line's capacity

3.2 Anchoring the winch
OPTION 1 : In most cases, the winch is anchored to a fixed object
using a polyester sling or one of our optional anchors and the line is
attached to the object you are trying to move. The latter is moved
towards the winch as the winch pulls the line.
OPTION 2 : Sometimes, the winch can be anchored to the object you
want to move and the line is attached to a fixed object. The winch and
the object being moved are then pulled towards the line's anchoring
point. This method is useful when you guide the load while operating
the winch.
Your winch is supplied with a polyester sling measuring 2 meters. To
anchor the winch, wind it around the anchoring point with the sling.
Insert each end of the sling in each of the two safety hooks located
on the back of the winch (fig. 1).
while most knots reduce the line's capa-
city by 50% or more. Additionally, it may
be easy to untie even after pulling a
heavy load.
Even better, a double bowline knot (fig.
2) allows you to maintain approx. 75% of
the line's capacity.

Place the winch in the direction of the load to be pulled. When the
winch is switched on, it will attempt to align itself with the load. The
friction of the sling against the anchor may prevent correct alignment;
in this case, release the tension in the line and move the sling so that
the tension is distributed over the two books equally.
WHAT NOT TO DO: WHEN YOU INSTALL THE SLING TO
ANCHOR THE WINCH, AVOID A FULL TURN AROUND AN
ANCHORING POINT (FIG, 2). THIS WILL PREVENT THE WINCH FROM ALIGNING ITSELF
WITH THE LOAD CORRECTLY. THIS WILL ALSO APPLY UNEVEN TENSION TO EACH OF
THE HOOKS.
AVOID INSTALLING THE SLING ON SHARP CORNERS WHICH
ARE LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE POLYESTER SLING. WHEN YOU
USE A POLE, A TREE OR A STUMP AS AN ANCHORING POINT, INSTALL THE SLING
CLOSE TO THE BASE.
ANCHORING AROUND A STUMP REQUIRES SPECIAL
ATTENTION TO AVOID THE SLING SLIPPING OFF THE TOP OF
THE STUMP.
ENSURE THAT THE ANCHORING POINT IS ABLE TO
WITHSTAND THE WINCHING WITHOUT BREAKING, BEING
EXTRACTED OR BECOMING DAMAGED.
