Winching Operation
1). Check the wire/synthetic rope
Before winching, make sure the rope is wound on the drum
evenly. If there is a mixed winding, it is essential to rewind
it evenly.
2). Lay a recovery damper over the rope near the hook
end.
If a wire/synthetic rope failure occurs, the damper can
prevent the rope from whipping.
