GEARED HAND WINCHES

MODEL NO’S:

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,

and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE

THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR

PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1. SAFETYi

WARNING! Winch is not designed for lifting or slinging loads. It is intended only for pulling a load and must be used with care.

9Fit only appropriately rated cable, strap and hook suitable for the task for which the winch is to be used.

Ensure the winch is maintained in a safe working condition. Inspect the cable and strap regularly checking for fraying, kinks, broken

strands or distortion. If such is present, replace the cable or strap. Check all component parts, DO NOT use if damaged, contact

authorised service agent.

9Most truck beds are not designed to support the pulling capacity of a winch. Choose an appropriately strong winching point, which we

recommend is reinforced with steel plates and appropriate securing bolts. The winch mounting point must be capable of withstanding 4 x

the maximum rated capacity of the winch.

WARNING! Keep hands, your body and clothing away from the winch components and the cable and strap. Use a rag or

protective gloves when handling cable. Take any necessary precautions to protect your personal safety whilst using the

winch.

9For a heavy load place a blanket (or jacket) over extended cable about 2 feet away from the hook in order to lessen the severity of a

cable break.

WARNING! Ensure you know how much load you are winching. Never exceed the maximum pulling capacity. Take into account

any angle of incline over which the load must be pulled. Also account for winching loads from thick mud, or through snow or water.

Chock the wheels of vehicles to be winched then release any brakes and place gears in neutral, ensure the load is capable of free

movement before winching. Take up the strain on the cable or strap and remove the wheel chocks to move the load.

9Ensure the load to be pulled has an appropriate fixing point. If not, fit an adequate sling, eyebolt or other accessory to the load. Ensure

accessories are equal to, or exceed, the maximum pulling capacity of the winch.

9Ensure cable or strap is securely attached to the load before winching.

9Maintain correct balance and footing whilst using the winch.

9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain and/or tie back long hair.

9Keep children and non essential persons away from the operating area. Be aware of the location of other persons assisting you.

9Apply even and steady pressure to the handle when releasing the tension from the load.

8DO NOT operate the winch if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

WARNING! DO NOT use winch as a lifting device of any type. DO NOT use the winch for any purpose other than for which it is

designed.

WARNING! DO NOT exceed the rated pulling capacity of the winch.

8DO NOT pull the cable or strap over or around a corner and DO NOT take the hook around the load and hook back onto the cable. Use

appropriate sling if necessary.

8DO NOT operate the winch with less than FIVE wraps of cable or strap on the drum.

▲DANGER! DO NOT use any “cheater” pipe, lever, or other device to lengthen the handle for additional leverage, as the pulley may fail

causing damage and possible personal injury. If the winch can not be operated by hand, it may be overloaded.

8DO NOT operate the winch if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

WARNING! AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL BRAKE REQUIREMENT

The minimum pulling load required for a proper braking function on the winch is 25kg. Without this minimum load, the braking function,

will not take place.

WARNING! AVOID SIDEWAYS CABLE SLIP

The cable under load should only be wound on to the drum to such an extent that a minimum space of two times the cable diameter

remains on the drum flange. Winch overloading and a sideways cable slip will therefore be avoided.

WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be applied by the operator.

4. ASSEMBLY

4.1. INSTALLING WINCH.

4.1.1. Most truck beds are not designed to support the pulling capacity of a winch. Choose an appropriately strong winching point, which when

fitted will give the winch handle enough clearance to turn. We recommend that the fixing point is reinforced with steel plate. Ensure

the fixing bolts are adequate for securing the winch with a full load. The winch mounting point must be capable of withstanding 4 x the

maximum rated capacity of the winch.

For fixing dimensions see fig.1. for GWC1200M, GWE1200M and GWW1200M and fig.2. for GWC2000M, GWE2000M and

GWW2000M.

4.2. CONNECTING THE CABLE.

4.2.1. Insert the steel cable through the hole (see fig.3) from inside to outside.

4.2.2. Thread the cable out and in the four holes, back through the original hole and through one more. Ensure the end is inside and not

outside the drum.

4.3. CONNECTING THE STRAP.

4.3.1. The winch is designed to fit a strap as well as a cable. Push the Strap Fitting Bolt, through the belt loop in the direction of the arrow in

fig.4.

4.3.2. Secure the Strap Fitting Bolt, with a spring washer and nut.

WARNING! The strap breaking strain must be at least 3 times the pulling capacity.
