Winching Procedures

3). Secure anchor point
It is very important that an anchor point is strong enough to
hold the load while winching. Do not wrap the rope around
the load and back onto itself. Always use a strap to ensure
that the wire/synthetic rope does not fray or kink.

4). Setting the vehicle engine
The recovery vehicle engine should be running to provide
maximum power to the winch. The transmission shall be
set in neutral, hand brake applied ad wheel chocked or
vehicle anchored to prevent the vehicle from moving.
5). Attach shackle and hook
Use a shackle to lock both ends of tree trunk
protector, and then attach to the wire/synthetic rope
hook.
6). Begin winching
Keep force on the rope to ensure it winds onto the drum
evenly. Release hand brake and continue pulling until the
vehicle is recovered.
7). Secure vehicle
Once the vehicle is secured, wind the rope back onto the
drum evenly and secure the hook firmly.
8). Disconnect remote control
Take remote control out of the socket and store it in a safe
and dry place.
