GENERAL SAFETY PRECA
UTIONS
Even if you are already familiar with
Electric winches
you must read this manual carefully to
acquire full knowledge of the machine and genera
l precautions to be observed during
operation.
Pulling loads

Pulling loads
ALWAYS
entails a risk related to the possibility of the cable disconnecting,
even if it is managed properly.

An “intrinsically” safe device does
NOT
exist, in the same way tha
t a worker does
NO
t
exist who, with the proper care can “always” avoid accidents. Therefore, DO NOT
underestimate the risks associated with the use of the machine and concentrate on the
work at hand.
Risks associated with using the machine
Despite the
implementation of all the safety devices for safe use of the machine, it is
necessary to take note of all the requirements for the prevention of accidents reported in
various parts of this manual.
Risks associated with using the machine
Each person
who is responsible for the use and maintenance of the machine should have first
read the instruction manual and in particular the chapter on safety.
Use of PPE
Before starting any type of work with the Winch, the operator must wear appropriate persona
l
protective equipment (PPE) such as crush resistant safety gloves and shoes.
1.
Do not try to operate the machine at higher performance levels than those for which it
was designed,
in particular regarding the size of the load to be pulled.
In other
words,
do not make demands of the Winch in excess of its maximum pulling capacity.
2.
Use the Winch exclusively for pulling, and only in the manner and intended use described
in this instruction manual.
3.
Before starting pulling operations, always check:

the efficienc
y and integrity of the machine, and in particular the hooks, the steel cable
and brake;

the strength and integrity of the support structure to which the machine is attached
(truss, means of transport, etc);

the perfect state of the electrical wiring, the f
unctioning of the pull and release buttons.
4.
Keep the work area tidy and free of clutter; untidiness causes accidents.
5.
Make sure that children, unauthorized persons and animals are not allowed in the work
area.
6.
Only work with good lighting.

7.
Do not use the w
inch in humid environments. Do not expose the winch to rain.
8.
Do not use the winch in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not use
the winch in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
9.
Disconnect the machine power cords from the batter
y when:

the machine is not being used for a long time;

the machine is left unattended;

performing maintenance or registration, because the machine does not work properly;

a power cord is damaged;

moving or transporting;

cleaning the machine.
10.
Wear appropria
te clothing. In particular, loose
-
fitting clothing and/or jewellery should not
be worn. It is a good idea to wear anti
-
slip shoes and electrically non
-
conductive clothing.
Tie up long hair.
11.
Do not step over the cable or winch when the cable is under tensio
n.
12.
Pay close attention to what you are doing! Do not use the winch if your psycho
-
physical
condition does not allow it.
13.
Do not leave any tools in the vicinity of the winch.
14.
It is recommended that users of this publication, for maintenance and repair, have
a basic
knowledge of the mechanical principles and procedures inherent in repair technique.
15.
Replace worn and/or damaged parts, check that protective devices work correctly before
operation. If necessary, have the machine checked by the Service Support pers
onnel.
Use only original spare parts !
16.
The staff responsible for using the machine must have read and understood this
manual in its entirety.
2.1
Safety regulations for the Electric Winch
Precautions for use
The electric winch is designed for intermitten
t use, and should not be used continuously in
harsh working conditions. The duration of work must be as short as possible. If the motor
shows signs of overheating (check the temperature by touch) stop the winch and wait a few
minutes for the machine to coo
l. Do not prolong use over 1 minute, when operating close to
the rated maximum load. Stop use if the motor show signs of fatigue.
1.
Never lift people or things above people.
Never lift things vertically. The Winch is NOT a lifting device, and is only
desi
gned for horizontal "pulling" of vehicles or other objects.
2.
Do not overload the Winch, beyond its maximum pulling capacity (2200 kg).
3.
The winch is not designed for continuous use. Do not use the electric winch for more than
one minute when pulling a load c
lose to the rated maximum load capacity.
4.
In the event of the motor overheating, wait for a few minutes for the machine to cool.
5.
Do not operate the Winch with the cable wound less than five times around the drum,
never unwind the cable to the end.
6.
Only wind
the cable with the load positioned in front of the winch. If the load is positioned
laterally, the winding of the cable is not optimal, causing wear and damage to the cable
or Winch.
7.
To achieve the maximum pulling capacity of the Winch it is necessary to
ensure that the
voltage between the poles of the motor is always 12 V DC.

8.
Do not hook the cable to itself to pull a load, but use a harness.
9.
Do not use unsuitable extension cables to extend the length of the cable.
10.
Before using the Electric Winch, make sur
e it is securely fastened to a support or the
vehicle on which it is mounted.
11.
Before starting to pull the load, tighten the cable slowly until it is perfectly under tension.
Check that the load is securely hooked, especially if using a harness.
12.
It is good
practice to place a heavy rag on the cable (blanket, jacket, etc.) when pulling
heavy loads. In the event of the cable breaking the rag reduces whiplash.
13.
When operating the winch, do not move the vehicle on which it is mounted to increase
the pulling capac
ity: the sum of the two actions only causes the overloading of the cable
and the winch which damages them!
14.
Never stand near the Winch or the cable when pulling a load, or attempt to climb over the
cable. Stand at a distance of least 1.5 m.
15.
When operating t
he Winch, put the gearbox of the vehicle into neutral, apply the
handbrake and block the wheels with chocks. Keep the motor running to avoid draining
the battery.
16.
Do not attempt to unlock the Winch drum during operation.
17.
Loosen the cable immediately after
having finished pulling the load.
18.
Keep the cable, hook and Winch well cleaned.
19.
Frequently inspect the cable and Winch. If the cable is worn replace it immediately. Use
only original accessories.
20.
Always wear protective gloves and never let the the cable run
through your hands when
pulling loads.
21.
Do not insert your fingers into the hook to prevent them from becoming trapped: you
could lose your finger! To unwind the cable from the drum use the appropriate safety
pull
-
cable belt.
22.
Do not put your hands or cloth
ing near the cable guide when using the winch.
23.
Wind up the cable in such a way that the turns are tight and compact on the drum.
24.
Do not operate the Winch when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
During operation maximum attention is requir
ed.
25.
Do not make any changes and do not perform welding on the Winch. Any interventions of
this kind may affect the structural integrity of the Winch and its proper functioning, and
will render the warranty null and void.
26.
Perform routine maintenance in acco
rdance with the plan provided by the manufacturer.
Frequently check the condition of your Winch.

INTENDED USE AND DES
CRIPTION OF THE
MACHINE
The
Electric Winch (Art. 0630 / 2200)
is a device to be used for the horizontal "pulling" of
vehicles or other loads that move on a horizontal flat surface (or
slightly tilted). It can be
mounted on vehicles such as agricultural tractors, cars, trucks, three
-
wheeled vans, means
for roadside assistance, boats, etc.
Prohibited Use

The Winch is NOT a lifting device.

It is absolutely forbidden to lift objects v
ertically.
The winch is not designed for continuous use, nor to be used in an industrial environment. To
use the machine, it must be fixed to a stable and sufficiently resistant support structure.
To unlock the drum it is necessary to move the lever, so
that the drum is no longer
integrated with the transmission, allowing the cable to be freely pulled manually. The cable
-
guide device is positioned in front of the drum. This device reduces the slack and the curling
of the cable.
The machine can operate out
doors, provided it is protected from the weather and, in
particular, from rain and strong wind. Protect the machine from frost, especially if it is
not in use. Moreover, the environment of use must be sufficiently illuminated, so as
to ensure safe operatio
n.
Intended use and maximum pulling capacity

The machine was designed for a specific use, different uses and non
-
compliance with
the technical parameters established by the Manufacturer may constitute dangerous
conditions for the operator. In the event
of said different uses, the manufacturer cannot
accept any responsibility for any resulting damages.

Pulled loads must NOT exceed the envisaged maximum pulling capacity.

Safety devices on the machine
The main safety devices present on the machine are:

the
pawl device
, when the cable is under tension;

the
cable
-
guide device and upper line stop
, to allo
w the correct winding of the cable
on the drum and to prevent the hook from knocking against the drum, at the end of the
winding phase (
Figure
3
);

The
hook closure safety device
is there to prevent the load from accidentally becom
ing
disconnected during normal use (
Figure
4
).
The
pawl device
acts by exploiting the characteristic of the
gears with a high reduction ratio which prevents the
retrograde motion. This phenomenon is guaranteed up t
o
the maximum pulling capacity: this load must not be
exceeded, as it can result in the unwinding of the cable!!!!
The
cable
-
guide and line stop
device is a mechanical
stop which allows the winding of the cable on the drum in a
correct and orderly way and
, above all prevents the hook
from wrapping onto the drum at the end of the stroke and
damaging it (
Figure
3
).

cable
-
guide / line stop.
Overheat
ing and damage to the motor
It is good practice to avoid keeping the pull button pressed down, once the hook reaches its
line end, as the motor could suffer irreversible damage.
The
hook closure safety device
(
Figure
4
)
safeguards against the dangers due to the uncoupling /
disconnection of the load during pulling.

Use of PPE
In any case, ALWAYS use appropriate PPE (
Figure
5
) such as:

Gloves;

Safety shoes.

Electric wiring
After checking that the power supply voltag
e corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate
(12 V
DC
), the Winch can be connected to the battery.
To make the connections it is necessary to use two pairs of
wires which come out of the coils box "C" (see figure 8).
The pair that exits from the rea
r is formed by two long
wires, one is red and the other is black. The red wire should
be connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the
black wire should be connected to the negative terminal (
-
).

The coils box acts as a support for the winch motor.
Once the winch has been positioned on the box,
connect the two short wires protruding behind to the
respective motor terminals "D" and "E", as shown in

Connecting the winch to the supporting surface
The Winch must be mounted on a suitable support structure, with adequate resistance
characteristics.
This structure must be able to withstand the stresses resulting from operating
the Winch (max pulling capacity 2200 kg).
In this regard it would be possible for example to use the most robust parts or sections of the
chassis of the motor vehicles.
The winc
h is supplied already assembled to the connecting plate, which is fixed by four bolts
and the relative safety washers.
Mounting the Winch
It is necessary to remember that the winch is designed to operate on a horizontal plane, not
vertical.
In order
to fix the winch properly it is necessary to use the two shims, the bolts and the
relative washers supplied (
Figure
9
).

Shims, bolts and washers.
Not
e how the hole “F” on the shim is not centred, as
shown in
Figure

.
First insert the screws into the two holes on the
connecting plate with the screw head at the top.
Insert the two shims in the part below, making
sure to
position them in such a way that the holes are facing
inwards, as shown in
Figure
10
.

To secure the winch to t
he support surface it is necessary to drill two holes with a
diameter that will allow the screws to pass through, spaced apart by 94 mm (distance
between the respective centres).
Place the winch on the support surface, so that the holes line up. Fit the w
asher and
safety washer on the screw and tighten the nut.
Mounting the Winch
ALWAYS check that the connection screws of the Winch are fully tightened, before operating
with loads.
