subjected to heat guns or gas torches.

• Do not swing the load as this may cause

damage.

• Never leave a suspended load

unattended.

• Do not wrap the wire cable/fibre rope

around the load. This may damage the

wire cable/fibre rope and could cause the

load to fall. Use a sling or other approved

lifting device.

• Do not divert your attention from the

operation. Stay alert to the possibility of

accidents, and try to prevent them from

happening.

• Do not jerk or swing the load. Avoid

shock loads by starting and stopping the

load smoothly. Shock loads overload the

equipment and may cause damage.

• Do not leave a suspended load

unattended unless specific precautions

have been undertaken and keep people

away from the winch and out from under

the load.

GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Limit non-uniform winding

by keeping tension on the wire cable. It

is the operators responsibility to detect

and account for different factors affecting

the condition and performance of the

equipment.

The pull required to move the load must not

exceed the load rating of the winch. Consider

the total force required to move the load, not

the weight of the load.

The winch can develop forces that will

exceed the load rating. It is the responsibility

of the winch operator to limit the size of the

load. Inspect the winch regularly for damage

according to the instructions contained in the

Owner's Manual.

Performance ratings of the winch are

affected by the amount of wire cable wound

onto the drum, the way in which it is wound,

and the way the winch is used.

Drum capacity depends on how tightly and

evenly the wire cable is wound onto the

drum. Actual drum capacities are usually

25-30% less than the values shown in

performance tables, due to loose winding and

overlapping.

Load rating represents the maximum pull

that can be placed on a new winch. Load

ratings are assigned values for specific

amounts of load travel or wire cable

accumulation. The load rating decreases as

layers of wire cable accumulate on the drum.

Duty ratings refer to the type of use the winch

is subject to. Consider the following when

determining duty rating:

Environment: harsh environments include

hot, cold, dirty, wet or corrosive surroundings.

Protect the winch against harsh environments

when possible.

Maintenance: poor maintenance, meaning

poor cleaning, lubrication or inspection, leads

to poor operation and possible damage of

the winch. Minimise poor maintenance by

carefully following the instructions contained

in the Owner's Manual.

Loading: severe loading includes shock

loading and moving loads that exceed the

load rating of the winch. Avoid shock loads,

and do not exceed the load rating of the

winch.

Frequency of operation: frequent or lengthy

operations increase wear and shorten the life

span of gears, bushes, and other components.

Increase maintenance of the winch if used in

frequent operations.

used to secure the winch to its mounting.

1. Tape the cable end using 50mm – 70mm

of plastic tape. This is to stop the cable end

from fraying and causing injury in use.

2. Fold the end of the cable (approximately

30mm) back on itself and permanently kink

the end.

3. Feed the taped end of the cable through

the round hole of the drum flange (disc)

from inside the drum.

4. Place one of the cup head bolts into Hole 1

of the clamp fitting, with the head on the

inside of the drum assembly, and pull the

cable tight against the bolt. Attach the nut

and tighten.

5. Align the second hole in the plate with Hole

2, and secure with the second bolt and nut.

1. Place the cup headed bolt into the square

hole with the head on the inside of the

drum assembly.

2. Screw on the combination nut and washer

only 2-3 threads.

3. Tape the cable end using 50mm – 70mm

of plastic tape. This is to stop the cable end

from fraying and causing injury in use.

4. Feed the taped end of the cable through

the round hole of the drum flange (disc)

from inside the drum and double back to

loop the cable under the bolt, behind the

washer and back towards the round hole.

5. While holding the cable in place under the

nut with the left hand, pull the cable tight

with the right hand.

6. Using the thumb of the left hand hold the

cable in place inside the drum and tighten

the nut to secure the cable in place.

Turn the handle to wind the wire cable

onto the winch drum. Uniformly wind the

wire cable onto the winch drum by holding

the wire cable taut.

Instruction for securing fibre rope to winch

– Note: Fibre rope to be ≤ Ø7mm

1. Take the winch drum with the gear facing

the assembler and the free end of the rope

and wrap three turns around the hub of the

drum in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Take the free end and pass it between the

three turns and the drum hub and then

pass the free end over the three turns on

the drum and under the last turn.

3. Pass free end of the rope under the last bite

and through the 'cable' hole in the flange.

Pull firmly so that the turns on the drum

lie reasonably flat. The length protruding

needs to be about 150mm.

4. Insert from inside the drum flange (centre

hole) the M6 square neck cup head bolt

and screw the M6 flanged serrated hexagon

nut onto the bolt.

5. Wrap the rope around the M6 bolt inside

the flanged serrated hexagon nut. Secure

the fibre rope by tightening the nut using

an M6 spanner. When securing, ensure that

the rope fibres do not catch on the bolt

threads and that the rope stays inside the

flanged section. Trim any excess rope.

6. The turns around the drum will have

become loose. Work the turns so that the

rope lays flat against the hub and there is

no slack.
