Safety Requirements
14
In some cases, the operator of a winch may be required to have qualifications according to
applicable laws and ordinances.
Check safety and environmental conditions prior to and during use.
Only use correctly rated wire/synthetic rope in construction,
strength. Inspect for damage and/or defects before use.
Don’t use an unsuitable hook and snatch block for rope.
The operator must remain with the winch during operation.
The winch duty rating is S3 (intermittent-periodic).
Do not use the winch as a lifting device or a hoist for vertical lifting and moving people.
Ensure that the winch is connected tothe correct voltage. 12/24 VDC only.
Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings. Shock load must not
exceed these ratings.
Keep hands clear of rope and fairlead opening.
Pull from an angle below 15° in the horizontal plane to straighten
up the vehicle or load.
Always use leather gloves when handling the wire/synthetic rope.
When winching, always use a recovery damper. Place over the
wire/synthetic rope in the middle third of its length.
A rope should be replaced if it shows signs of excessive wear, broken strands, corrosion for wire
rope and excessive abrasion, broken strands, fused and melted fiber for synthetic rope.
If the winch fails to pull a load under normal conditions, stop the operation, otherwise motor
damage may occur. The thermal indicator LEDs in the control box or remote switch will indicate
RED as a warning.
Check that the clutch T-handle is in the “Engaged” position during and after use.
Remove the switch from the winch when not in use.
Do not wrap the wire/synthetic rope around the load and back onto itself. Always use a tree truck
strap.
Keep hands and clothes away from the winch,
rope, and roller/hawse fairlead.
Never unplug the remote control when winching
a load.
To avoid insufficient power when winching a
load, the vehicle should be running and in
neutral.
If noise or vibration occurs when running, stop the winch immediately and return it for repair.
The rope shall be wound in according to drum rotation sticker or refer to owners manual.

Winching Principles
15
uCalculating Fleet Angle
To obtain the best wire/synthetic rope service, the direction of pull will be on a horizontal within
±15 degrees and perpendicular to be centerline of the winch drum within ±5 degrees. If the fleet
angle is biggerthan the recommended angles, a good spooling cannot be obtained as the rope will
spoon onto one side of the rope drum and possible damage to the rope or winch.
uLoad Rating
Load and speed varies according to how much
wire/synthetic rope is on the drum. The first layer of rope
on the drum delivers the slowest speed and the maximum
load. A full drum delivers the maximum speed and the
minimum load.
For this reason, all automotive winches are rated at their
first layer capacities.
uRequired Pulling Force
You need a winch powerful enough to overcome the weight of your vehicle with the added
resistance caused by the obstacle, moving water, mud, snow, sand or on a steep hill.
As a general guide, you need a winch with a maximum line pull of at least 1.5 times greater than
the gross vehicle weight.
There are three factors listed that influence the line pull effect required to recover the vehicle.
The values and calculations in this section are approximate and are for reference only.
a). Gross vehicle weight
b). Type of the surface to be traversed
c). Gradient to overcome
In recovery and loading the winch is used to pull something, the required pulling force (RPF)
can be calculated according tothe formula:
RPF = (Wt X S) + (Wt X G)
Where: Wt = The gross vehicle weight
S = The type of the surface to be traversed
G = The gradient to overcome

Winching Principles
16
For example, if a vehicle weighing 3,000 kg is winched up an incline by 100% on the marsh
road, the above formula would be used as follows:
Where Wt: 3,000 kg, S: 0.52 G: 0.71
RPF = (Wt X S) + (Wt X G)
= (3,000 kg X 0.52) + (3,000 kg X 0.71)
= 1,560 kg + 2,130 kg
= 3,690 kg of effect required to recover the vehicle.
uSecuring Anchor Point
When choosing an anchor point, select a safe and firm point such as a tree, stump or rocks. If
using a winch to retrieve another vehicle, the rescue vehicle is considered the anchor point and
should be made secure.
The anchor point must be strong enough to hold the gross weight of the vehicle and be
positioned to keep the fleet angle between the centre of the anchor point and the wire/synthetic
rope maintained less than 15°. Always use a tree trunk protector strap to prevent ring barking the
tree and damaged to the wire/synthetic rope.
uWinching V.S. Hoisting. A pulling winch should not be used for lifting.
Please refer to our website to view our full range of lifting winches.

uRoller Fairlead
The use of 4 ways roller fairlead can eliminate the contacting
friction because the fairlead rollers contact with the wire rope. But the
fairlead does not insure the wire rope will wind onto the drum in an
orderly manner. The proper fleet angle within 15° must be
maintained for the wire rope to wind onto the drum in an orderly
manner. If the proper fleet angle is not maintained, it can result in
damage to the winch and wire rope.
uHawse Fairlead
The basic hawse fairlead is designed to guide the synthetic rope to
and from the winch drum. Do not use cast steel hawse fairleads as
they have sharp edges and they do not have enough radius for the
rope to bend over.
uRecovery Damper
A recovery damper is a safety device designed to help
eliminated the possibility of injury or property damage in the
event of a wire/synthetic rope failure. Place in the middle third
of a live rope. The damper can help absorb the energy in the
rope and reduce the likelihood of injury or damage.
uSnatch Block
An important aid to successful winching is the use of
snatch block, which can be used to increase the pulling
power of a winch or change the direction of a pull.
A winch double lined with a snatch block creates a
mechanical leverage cutting the effort required by nearly half.
The double line pull shows self recovery using a snatch
block attached to an anchor point; the pull applied to the
vehicle is almost twice as much as the line pull of the winch.
The use of one snatch block shows an indirect pull where
the vehicle is limited due to unsuitable ground or obstruction.
The pull on the load is the actual line pull of the winch. If
more than one snatch block is used, they must be located at
least 100 cm (40″) apart.

Winching Procedures
18
uPreparation before Winching
1. Connect the remote control
Always disconnect the remote control when not in use.
Always have the remote control kept free from winch,
wire/synthetic rope and roller/hawse fairlead.
2. Disengage clutch function
ift the clutch T-handle up and turn it at 90°
counter-clockwise rotation to the “Disengaged”
position, rope can now clutch off the drum.
3. Pull the wire/synthetic rope to the anchor point
Wear leather gloves when handling wire/synthetic rope.
Pull out enough rope to reach the anchor point. Be
careful to keep the rope under tension.
4. Engage clutch function
To engage, lift the clutch T-handle up and turn it at 90°
clockwise rotation tothe “Engaged” position. Never
engage the clutch whilethe drum is rotating.
uWinching Operation
1. Check the wire/synthetic rope
Before winching, make sure the rope is wound on the
drum evenly. If there is a mixed winding, it is essential to
rewind it evenly.
2. Lay a recovery damper over the rope near the hook
end.
If a wire/synthetic rope failure occurs, the damper can
prevent the rope from whipping.
