Improper Use
The winch must not be used:
- in any way or for any purpose not outlined in the intended
use chapter of this manual
- if unauthorized modifications or interventions have been
carried out
- in an explosive atmosphere
- after it has fallen from a height of more than one meter onto
a hard surface. In this case, the device must be returned to
the manufacturer or to a Harken authorized repair center
- with wire rope, natural fiber ropes or polypropylene rope
- with loads in excess of the Maximum Working Load
(MWL) of 1500 lbs
NEVER exceed the capacity of any component of the winching
system, including rope, blocks, and rigging.
ALWAYS check the weight rating for single blocks. Single
blocks will be subject to greater forces. As an example, if a
single block is used to lift a load weighing 400 lbs, it must be
rated for a minimum of 880 lbs.
Personal Protective Equipment
It is necessary to use gloves when operating the device.
Wearing an appropriately rated safety helmet and safety
glasses are recommended.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Caution: ALWAYS be aware of and comply with all federal, state,
and local safety regulations, industry standards, and internal
safety guidelines. The equipment covered in this manual must be
used and serviced only by competently trained personnel familiar
with and that follow approved work and safety practices. This
manual is not intended as a substitute for adequate training
and experience in safety procedures for this type of equipment.
These instructions neither cover all details or situations
in equipment use nor do they provide for every possible
contingency to be encountered in relation to installation,
operation, or maintenance. Should additional information and
details be desired or if situations arise which are not covered
adequately for the user’s purpose, the specifics should be
referred to Harken Technical Support.
Caution: Under extreme loading, when operating an electric
winch from a limited power source such as a truck-driven
generator, the hoist motor may stall before reaching maximum
capability. The hoist should not be operated under these
conditions to avoid damage to the motor.
Warning: Polypropylene rope is seriously weakened whenever
use of it generates friction heat. This is particularly true if it is
used over a capstan. Because of this condition, the continued
slipping of polypropylene rope over a capstan should be avoided.
Poly Dacron rope is suggested as it has a higher heat-resistant
capability.
Never use the winch to lift or move people. Capstan winches
are NOT designed to lift personnel. Overhead loads can fall and
will cause damage to equipment, severe injury, or death. Do not
allow people to stand under or near the load. Keep rope securely
on capstan drum and under control by the operator. Do not
remove wraps of rope from the drum while supporting a load.
Do not allow the rope to overwrap itself or to ride up over the end
of the drum flange. Always complete the attachment of the rope
through the self-tailing head of the drum.
Warning: Read all instructions and follow your company work
rules. Use only with mounts authorized by Harken Industrial.
Do not obscure or remove labels. Do not use this hoist unless
you are properly trained. Do not lift more than the rated load.
Do not use if damaged or malfunctioning. Do not stand between
load and hoist.

Selecting other components for the system:
The most important part of the hoisting process is proper
planning to ensure your safety and the safety of others before
starting the work. Knowing proper hoisting techniques can
help keep you and others around you safe. Please be aware
of the information in this owner’s manual is general in nature.
Because no two situations are alike, it would be impossible
to review every potential use of a capstan hoist. This manual
provides you with the general principles and techniques to
help you use the capstan hoist safely and effectively.
ALWAYS take your time to assess your situation and plan
your lift carefully.
ALWAYS be aware of and comply with all federal, state, and
local safety regulations, industry standards, and internal
safety guidelines. A competent person shall apply careful
thought to choose the safest arrangement possible. As with
any project involving the lifting of loads, a competent person
must analyze the forces, the direction of those forces, and
consider what can happen in the event that there is a failure of
a component of the rigging system. This allows the competent
person to ensure the proper hoist, rope, blocks, and rigging
are used to minimize risks. A competent person shall thor-
oughly inspect the worksite and equipment to spot potential
safety issues. When mounting the hoist, verify the frame-
mounted receiver hitch can withstand the forces the capstan
will apply and will not be adversely impacted by the mounting
and operation of the capstan hoist. This may include having a
documented rigging plan for lift.
ALWAYS inspect winch, rope, and any rigging equipment
before use. Frayed, kinked, or damaged rope must be replaced
immediately. Protect parts from damage.
Always use a minimum class 3 receiver hitch.
ALWAYS use with mounts, components, and accessories
authorized by Harken Industrial.
NEVER alter the strut or other components of the winch system.
ALWAYS USE WITH SUPPLIED BLOCK, it is integral to the
geometry of the system.

ENGLISH07/2022
Never Overload the Winch:
Unlike a block and tackle, when operating a capstan winch,
the operator can’t “feel” the weight. This makes lifting loads
nearly effortless for the operator. Because of this, the operator
must know what the weight of the object or the force to pull
the rope will be before starting the job.
ONLY the operator should handle the rope and
operate the foot control.
The vehicle needs to outweigh the load being lifted.
NEVER use with another connector type, which could interfere
with the geometry of the system.
ALWAYS keep foot control and power cords clear of the
capstan, rope, and rigging. Inspect for cracks, pinches, frayed
wires, or loose connections.
ALWAYS remove any element or obstacle that may interfere
with the safe operation of the winch.
NEVER operate a capstan winch without the appropriate
foot control switch.
Extension cord length recommendations
(115V and 230V models):
Hitch pin minimum: Grade 5
ALWAYS use the right equipment for your situation.
Confirm the adequacy of the rated capacity for the hoist, rope,
blocks, and rigging before use. Inspect all load components
for damage prior to use and replace or repair all damaged
components.

The Harken Hightailer strut can be positioned angled to the
right or left. This allows the load to come in at an optimal angle
based on the location to the truck. The load should be kept in the
quadrant straight out from the hitch to parallel with the back of
the truck where the winch isn’t located.
To reverse strut direction:
- Pull the bracket pin and remove winch from strut.
- Remove strut from hitch reciever on vehicle and flip
the strut to opposite direction.
- Replace strut in vehicle's hitch receiver.
- Replace the winch on the strut and replace bracket pin.
(refer to parts nomenclature)
- Check that the release knob opens the jaws by rotating
and releasing it several times.
- Secure shackle clevis pin on block.
- Secure hitch pin and bracket pin with cotter pin.
- Check that the cover slides up and down.

Warning: Take at least two
turns of the rope around the
winch drum. If it slips under
load, increase the number of
turns to a maximum of four,
taking care not to overlap
the rope.
NOTE! The number of turns
needed around the winch drum
depends on the load and the
condition of the rope. Check the
device's descending capacity in
its working configuration.
Verify that the load can be
lowered at an appropriate rate.
If the load lowers too slowly for
the application, decrease the
number of wraps on the drum
until you find the optimal
number of wraps. Always have
at least two wraps. Do not
unwind under load.
WARNING!
NEVER ALLOW ROPE TO (OVERRIDE) OVERLAP ON
WINCH DRUM. THIS CAN CAUSE ROPE TO JAM AND
CAN PREVENT LOAD FROM BEING LIFTED/LOWERED.
TENSION ON ROPE TO LOAD MUST BE RELIEVED TO
CLEAR OVERRIDE. THIS PROCEDURE CARRIES A RISK
OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF LOAD DROPS OR
BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE.

REMOVING FROM SERVICE:
- Product can be severely damaged if exposed to chemical
reagents and should be removed from service if the safe
function is in doubt.
- After it has fallen from a height of more than one meter onto
a hard surface. In this case, the device must be returned to
the manufacturer or to a Harken authorized repair center.
- If unsure, contact Harken.
Annual Inspection: Winch must be completely overhauled,
cleaned, and lubricated every 12 months. For best perfor-
mance, we recommend having the winched serviced annually
at a Harken service center.
Lifespan:
- Operating temperature is between -10°C and 50°C,
14°F to 122°F. Extreme heat may distort composite parts.
Extreme cold can cause the material to become brittle
and cause the lubrication to congeal.
- This product has an unlimited lifespan.
PACKAGING, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION:
Store away from solvents and corrosive materials.
Do not store at extreme temperatures or with direct
exposure to UV.
MAINTENANCE
If soiled, rinse in clean, warm water (maximum temperature
25°C) with mild detergent at appropriate dilution, and
thoroughly rinse. When the equipment becomes wet, it should
be allowed to dry naturally, and should be kept away from
direct heat. Light surface corrosion may be removed with a
wire brush (no power tools). Retire if corrosion is heavy.
Cleaning and lubrication by Harken’s service center may
cure a defective mechanism. If it does not, replace the
product immediately.
