a. A double line system should be used
whenever possible.
It reduces the load on the winch, allowing
it to work longer with less heat buildup.
It reduces load on the winch in two ways:
• it utilizes the lower layers of wire rope
that have higher capacity, and
• it halves the load on the winch through
pulley action.
b.
Stationary
Winching
Vehicle
(Chock tires, and
set parking brake) Load
Carpet
Connect the wire rope for a double line
system as shown above. Use a pulley
block (not included) properly rated for
the load to be pulled and designed to be
operated with this winch’s wire rope.
c. Loop the wire rope around the pulley and
connect to another part of the vehicle’s
chassis or to a separate anchor point.
Do not anchor the cable back to the
winch or winch mount.
7.
Safety Clasp
Hook onto the object using a pulling
point, tow strap, tree strap, or chain.
Make sure the hook’s safety clasp is fully
closed.
Do not wrap the wire
rope around the object
and hook onto the wire
rope itself. This can
damage the object being
pulled, and kink or fray the wire rope.
8. Do not use a Recovery Strap while
winching. They are designed to stretch
and can suddenly whip back towards the
operator during a winching operation.
9. Place heavy rag or carpet
(not included) over wire
rope span 6 feet from
hook to help absorb
the force released if
the wire rope breaks.
10. Re-engage the clutch by moving the
Cam Ring to the IN position.
11. WARNING! Do not allow anyone to
stand near the wire rope, or in line with
the wire rope behind the winch while it
is under power. If the wire rope should
slip or break, it can suddenly whip back
towards the winch, causing a hazard for
anyone in the area. Stand well to the
side while winching.
