Safe Operating Instructions

The following warnings and operating instructions have been adapted in part from American Society of Mechanical Engineers (Safety) Standard ASME B30.7 and are intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which might lead to injury or property damage.

Ingersoll Rand recognizes that most companies who use winches have a safety program in force at their facility. In the event that some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already set by an individual company, the more stringent of the two should take precedence.

Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for additional safety information.

1.Only allow personnel trained in safety and operation of this product to operate and maintain this winch.

2.Only operate a winch if you are physically fit to do so.

3.When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on winch, or controls, do not operate winch until sign has been removed by designated personnel.

4.Before each shift, check winch for wear and damage. Never use a winch that inspection indicates is worn or damaged.

5.Never lift a load greater than rated capacity of the winch. Refer to labels attached to winch or to “SPECIFICATIONS” section.

6.Keep hands, clothing, etc., clear of moving parts.

7.Never place your hand in the throat area of a hook or near wire rope spooling onto or off of winch drum.

8.Always rig loads properly and carefully.

9.Be certain the load is properly seated in saddle of hook. Do not support load on tip of hook.

10.Do not “side pull” or “yard”.

11.Always ensure that you, and all other people, are clear of the path of the load. Do not lift a load over people.

12.Never use the winch for lifting or lowering people, and never allow anyone to stand on a suspended load.

13.Ease slack out of wire rope when starting a lift or pull. Do not jerk the load.

14.Do not swing a suspended load.

15.Do not leave a suspended load unattended.

16.Never operate a winch with twisted, kinked or damaged wire rope.

17.Pay attention to the load at all times when operating the winch.

18.Never use the winch wire rope as a sling.

19.After use, or when in a non-operational mode, winch should be secured against unauthorized and unwarranted use.

WARNING LABEL

Each unit is shipped from the factory with warning label shown. If the label is not attached to your unit, order a new label and install it. Refer to the parts list for part number. Label is shown smaller than actual size.
