Fig. 4 Indirect pull where vehicles access is limited due to unsuitable ground or obstructions, using a pulley block
attached to suitable anchor point. Actual pulling power on load will be 1000 lbs at winch rope speed.
USE OF A NYLON SLING
2.1 A shackle should always be used when attaching winch hooks to nylon slings.
NOTE: The shackle must pass through both eyes of the sling. The Safe Working Load of the nylon sling is based on
the use of both eye ends.
USE OF GLOVES
3.1 Use of gloves when handling or rewinding cable to eliminate the possibility of cuts caused by burrs and
broken strands.
