3. Safety
Avoid to come into contact with moving parts during use. Serious injury may occur. Make sure that the
strap is always rolled evenly. An unevenly rolled strap can cause blocking or damage of strap and
ratchet. Always use the rubber anti-slip foot on hard surfaces. If the surface is slippery, e.g. due to oil
leakage, moss or algae growth, there is a substantial risk that the rubber foot does not provide
sufficient stability. It is up to the user to make a safe assessment of the situation. However, during the
winching, the user must always take position such that, in case of sudden sideway slippage or failure of
the winch, the motorbike cannot fall against or on the user.
4. Components and application
Explanation of the parts;
The Ratchet;
The ratchet is a standard 3 ton or 5 ton (optional) cargo ratchet. The ratchet lever is of such size that the power required for
the various applications is limited. The ratchet must be clean when used and inspected for possible damage. The ratchet has
been pre-mounted to the MotoWinch tube with a pipe locking pin.

The strap;
The strap is a standard 2 ton 200cm strap for use with the MotoWinch. The strap must be at all times undamaged for use in
the MotoWinch. After use, the strap should be cleaned from sand, dirt and grease. If the strap is badly frayed, torn or when the
stitching is broken, it should be replaced. In case of doubt please contact Eastbound. Using a damaged strap is entirely at
users own risk.
