AVOID INSTALLING THE SLING ON SHARP
CORNERS 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.
MAKE SURE THAT THE ANCHORING POINT
IS ABLE TO HANDLE THE PULLING WITHOUT BREAKING, BEING
UPROOTED OR BECOMING DAMAGED.
We also offer a wide range of anchoring accessories for
our capstan winches. Please see
3.6 Installing the line
THE
DEPLOYING THE LINE IS THE KEY TO SAFE USE OF THE WINCH.
The wide range of situations encountered during pulling
prevents us from given precise instructions; however,
consider the following points:
3.6.1 Line
Use a line with a low elasticity in good condition, with a
minimum diameter of 10 mm and a maximum diameter of
13 mm with good knots.
We highly recommend the bowline knot (§3.4).
3.6.2 Pulley
Use pulleys to divert the line and increase the pulling power
when the load approaches or exceeds the winch's pulling
capacity.
The use of a short-distance winch pulley offers the following
benefits:
Provides an angle allowing the load to be slightly raised
•
to reduce friction;
Maintains the winch in an almost horizontal
•
position;
Keeps the winch and the operator away from the
•
load's trajectory.
3.6.3 Direction
Install the line so that it doesn't rub against any objects
during pulling. Try to install the line so that the front of the
load is slightly raised. Never pull downwards or through
obstacles.
IN GENERAL, IF THE LINE TOUCHES THE GROUND DURING
PULLING, THE INSTALLATION IS INCORRECT.

DIRECTION
WHEN
3.6.4 On a slope
NEVER PULL A LOAD ALONG A DESCENDING
SLOPE DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE WINCH BECAUSE THE LOAD MAY
SLIDE TOWARDS YOU WITHOUT YOU BEING ABLE TO STOP IT. IN THIS
CASE, USE A PULLEY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPE AND POSITION
THE WINCH FURTHER BACK AWAY FROM THE AXIS OF THE LOAD.
3.7 Pulling a load
CHECK THE POSITION OF THE WINCH, THE
CONDITION OF THE LINE, THE SOLIDITY OF THE ANCHORING POINT,
THE KNOTS, HOOKS TO AVOID INJURIES AND MATERIAL DAMAGE.
3.7.1
Winding the line around the capstan drum
NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS CLOSE TO
THE LINE GUIDE, CAPSTAN DRUM OR ENTRY HOOK WHEN THE ENGINE
IS RUNNING.
1)
Press the On/Off button twice and the speed button
once.
2)
Wind the line around the drum (3 or 4 turns).
3)
Take the line behind the exit hook.
4)
Keep a safe distance from the winch (approx. 1m)
and pull gently and horizontally on the line until the
slack in the line is taken up and you feel tension in
the line.
5)
Inspect your installation to make sure that the
anchoring of the winch and the entrance hook are
aligned with the line.
6)
Check that the line does not rub against objects in
its trajectory; if you want to increase the pulling
speed, press the speed button once or twice again.
Note: A high speed reduces the battery's operating time.
