maximum load capacity specified
for each model.
3. AVOID SIDEWAYS CABLE SLIP
The cable under a load should
only be wound on to the drum to
such an extent that a minimum

remains on the drum flange
(see Figure 1). Winch overloading
and a sideway cable slip will here
be avoided.

load) required for a proper braking
function on the winch is 55 lbs
(25kgs). Without this minimum
load, the braking function will
not take place.

WRAPS OF THE CABLE ON
THE DRUM
Failure to do so may break cable
connection to drum and may
result in serious accident.
(see Figure 2)
