270STARTING AND OPERATING
10. Put synthetic rope under tension. Using the
remote control switch, slowly wind the rope
until no slack remains. Once the rope is
under tension, stand well clear of it and
never step over it.

Pulling Synthetic Rope Under Tension

11. Check your anchor. Make sure all connec -
tions are secured and free of debris before
continuing with the winching procedure.
12. Check synthetic rope. The rope should be neatly wound around the spooling drum.
Improper winding can cause damage to the
synthetic rope.
Synthetic Rope Neatly Wound Around The Spooling
Drum
Heavy Blanket Over Rope

In certain situations you may decide to
throw a heavy blanket or similar object over
the rope. A heavy blanket can absorb ener -
gy should the synthetic rope break. Place it
on the rope midway between the winch and
the anchor point. Do this before the rope is put under tension. Do not approach or move
the blanket once tension is applied. Do not
allow it to get pulled into the fairlead. If it is
necessary to move or remove the blanket,
slack the tension on the rope first.
13. Establish "no people" zones: Make your
intentions clear. Be sure that everyone in
the immediate vicinity surrounding the
winching operation is completely aware of
your intentions before you pull. Declare
where the spectators should not stand —
never behind or in front of the vehicle and
never near the synthetic rope or snatch
block. Your situation may have other "no
people" zones.

STARTING AND OPERATING271
14. Begin winching. With the winching vehicles
engine on and light tension already on the
synthetic rope, begin winching slowly and
steadily. Be sure that the rope is winding
evenly and tightly around the spooling
drum. For additional assistance, the
winched vehicle can be slowly driven while
being pulled by the winch. Continue pulling
until the vehicle is on stable ground. If you
are able to drive the vehicle, the winching
operation is complete.

Using The Remote Control

NOTE:
Avoid overheating the winch motor. For extended winching, stop at reasonable
intervals to allow the winch motor to cool
down.
What to look for under load: The synthetic rope must always spool onto the drum as
indicated by the drum rotation decal on
the winch. As you power-in, make sure
the synthetic rope winds evenly and
tightly on the drum. This prevents the
outer rope wraps from drawing into the
inner wraps, binding and damaging the
synthetic rope. Avoid shock loads by
using the control switch intermittently to
take up rope slack. Shock loads can
momentarily far exceed the winch and
synthetic rope ratings. During side pulls
the synthetic rope tends to stack up at
one end of the drum. This stack can
become large enough to cause serious
damage to the winch. So, line up pulls as
straight ahead as possible and stop
winching if the synthetic rope comes
close to the tie rods or mounting plate. To
fix an uneven stack, spool out that
section of the rope and reposition it to
the opposite end of the drum, which will
free up space for continued winching.
15. Secure vehicle. Once recovery of the vehicle is complete, be sure to secure the vehicle's
brakes and shift the transmission to PARK.
Release tension in the synthetic rope. 16. Disconnect the synthetic rope, and discon
-
nect from the anchor.
17. Rewind the synthetic rope. The person handling the synthetic rope should walk the
rope in and not let it slide through the hand,
control the winch at all times.

Rewinding The Synthetic Rope

WARNING!
To prevent serious injury, NEVER put your
fingers inside the hook area as you are
powering-in.

272STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
How to spool under no load: Arrange the remote
control lead so it cannot be caught in the winch.
Arrange the synthetic rope so it will not kink or
tangle when spooled. Be sure any synthetic
rope already on the spooling drum is wound
tightly and evenly layered. Tighten and
straighten the layer if necessary. Keep the
synthetic rope under light tension and spool the
rope back and onto the winch drum in even
layers. Stop frequently to tighten and straighten
the layers as necessary. Repeat this process
until the winch hook is the same distance as the
full length of the remote control from the winch.
Pinch the hook between your thumb and fore -
finger and attach the hook strap. Hold the hook
strap between the thumb and forefinger to keep
tension on the synthetic rope. Walk the
synthetic rope towards the fairlead, carefully
spooling in the remaining rope by pulsing the
remote control switch.
18. Store the hook on the most outboard loop of the hawse fairlead.
Hook In Stored Position

19. Disconnect the remote control. Disconnect the remote control cord from the control box
and store in a clean and dry place. Winching
operations are now complete. Put the cap
on the solenoid plug-in.
NOTE:
Always store the remote control in a protected,
clean, dry area.
Rigging Techniques
Various winching situations will require applica-
tion of other winching techniques. These could
range from too little distance to achieve
maximum pull using straight line rigging, simply
increasing pulling power, or maintaining a
straight-line pulling situation. You will have to assess what technique is correct for your situa
-
tion. Think "safety" at all times.
How To Change The Pulling Direction

Change Pulling Directions

All winching operations should have a straight
line from the winch to the object being pulled.
This minimizes the synthetic rope collecting on
one side of the drum affecting pulling efficiency
and damaging synthetic rope. A snatch block,
secured to a point directly in front of the vehicle
will enable you to change your pulling direction
while still allowing the synthetic rope to be at
90° to wind properly onto the spooling drum.
