•
Do not use the winch as a hoist or for overhead lifting.
•
Do not use the winch to lift, support or move personnel.
•
Always ensure the winch rope re-spools tightly and evenly on to the drum. Do not
allow cable bunching as this could damage the crossbars and winch casing.
•
Never approach the winch, hook, or cable if someone else is at the controls.
•
Always be certain the anchor point can withstand the load and will not slip or fail.
•
Protect the wireless (optional) remote from any possibility of accidental operation.
•
Never apply load to a wire rope if it is kinked as doing so will deform or fracture the
wire strands and cause permanent damage.
2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING: correct installation of your winch is vital for correct and safe operation.
•
Only install your winch with a genuine WINCHMAX mounting plate or bumper. For
these instructions, we are describing installation using a pre-drilled WINCHMAX
mounting plate suitable for flatbed installations.
•
The winch must be mounted with the direction of pull perpendicular to the mounting
bolt fixings and the mounting point on the vehicle must be capable of withstanding
the maximum rated pull of the winch.
•
Mount the fairlead (rollers if the winch is fitted with steel wire rope, or aluminium
hawse if the winch is fitted with un-sheathed synthetic rope) to the upstand of the
mounting plate using supplied bolts, nuts and washers.
•
Mount the winch to the mounting plate using supplied bolts, square nuts and
washers, tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 60Nm (45ft/lb). All mounting
points should be utilised.
•
The supplied bolts are the correct length for installation on a 5-7mm plate. Other
thickness's may require bolts of a different length. The required criteria are that the
bolts are at least 8.8 grade high tensile, the thread length should be sufficiently long
to fully engage the square nut but must not protrude to the extent that the bolt
contacts the top of the nut housing in the winch frame.
•
Feed the hook end of the wire rope from the drum through rollers to the front and
attach the clevis hook. Where the thimble eye is too big or if a fixed hook is used, you
may need to remove the top fairlead roller to allow the hook end to pass through.
•
With a synthetic rope with a spliced-on hook you may need to pull the rope off and
feed the rope back through the hawse fairlead from the drum end.
