ATTENTION
The specifications above are based on the recommended wire rope
cable. Changing the size or the construction of the wire rope will affect the
performance of the machine and the working loads would have to be
recalculated.
1
Motor HP may vary with the application and certain options
2
Excluding control enclosure and cable weights; may vary for certain options

Operator`s Manual –Electric Winch 62018-08-03, rev 1
ATTENTION
The wire rope capacity depends on the rolling tension and the
distribution of the wire rope over the drum. The actual capacity may be 25-30%
below the specified length due to uneven winding of the wire rope or
crisscrossing of the wire rope
Unpacking
Some models are equipped with lifting lugs to facilitate manipulation of the
equipment during the installation. Never load the lugs sideways.
ATTENTION
Any lugs and additional bolt holes serve to help maneuver the
equipment during installation. Never use these holes or lugs to support a part or
the entirety of the load.

WARNING
Always use the recommended number of anchor bolts (dia. ½, grade 5
or higher) to fix the winch to the floor or the supporting structure. Failure to do
so may damage the equipment and/or the supporting structure.
DANGER
It is the user`s responsibility to ensure the floor and/or the supporting
structure can safely carry the working loads with an appropriate factor of safety.
The deflection of the structure must be negligible under the working load. Failure
to respect these recommendations may damage the equipment and/or the
supporting structure.

Operator`s Manual –Electric Winch 82018-08-03, rev 1
Gear Reducer Orientation and Lubrication
It is important to always maintain an adequate level of gear oil for the size and
orientation of the reducer. Unless otherwise specified, the reducer is filled for
horizontal use. Consult the maintenance section for recommended gear oil types
and amounts.
WARNING
Low oil level may result in premature wear of the gears. Consult the
maintenance section for the recommended oil types and amounts.
The reducer is always shipped with standard plugs to prevent oil from leaking
during transportation. The client must install the vent plug according to the
reducer orientation before putting the winch into service. The vent plug is
supplied in a plastic bag taped to the reducer.

*make sure the vent plug is
always on the top side to
ensure no leakage during the
use or the transportation of
the equipment
WARNING
Failure to install the vent plug may result in pressure built-up as the
reducer heats up causing the seals the blow out and spill the oil.

Operator`s Manual –Electric Winch 92018-08-03, rev 1
Winding of the Wire Rope
WARNING
The wire rope must always be installed on the drum in a way that allows
it to come out from underneath the drum as indicated on the diagram below:

Operator`s Manual –Electric Winch 10 2018-08-03, rev 1
Electrical Connections
WARNING
If the motor rotation is reversed some options (like the limit switches)
will not function properly which may lead to injury or equipment damage.
All electric connections must be performed by a qualified electrician. Do
not neglect to verify the current draw and the length of the power cable.
Improper connections or conductor sizing may cause the winch to overheat even
with no load.
The winch must be connected to the power source such that the motions
correspond to the indications on the control pendant, in other words the IN
button makes the wire rope wind on the drum where as the OUT button unwinds
the wire rope. The connection procedure steps are illustrated on the next page.
