becomes the anchor point. In this case, be sure to put the transmission
in neutral, apply the parking brake and block the wheels to prevent it
from moving.
The anchor point should allow you to pull straight in the direction the
vehicle will move. This allows the rope to wind tightly and evenly on the
winch drum. An anchor point as far away as possible will provide the
winch with its greatest pulling power.
Winching hand signals
In some situations, recovery could involve two people. While one person
drives, the other person provides navigation assistance and ensures the
rope is winding properly. Understanding the right hand signals help
provide clear understanding between the driver and the navigator. Also,
if the driver controlling the winch can not see both hands of the
navigator, the winch should not be activated. The following are some
suggested hand signals to review:
1. Hold your arms out with thumbs up and tilt your hands in the
direction you advise the driver to steer.
2. Hold your forefinger in the air above your shoulder height and draw
small circles in the air to indicate to wind the winch.
