line up pulls as straight ahead as possible and stop winching if the wire
cable comes close to the tie rods or mounting plate. To correct 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.
SPOOLING IN UNDER NO LOAD
• Assisted: Have an assistant hold the hook with a cord or rag putting as
much constant tension on the wire cable as possible. While keeping
tension, the assistant should walk toward the winch while you operate
the control switch spooling in the wire cable. Release the switch when
the hook is a minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) from the fairlead opening. Spool
in the remainder for storage.
•
Unassisted: Arrange the wire cable to be spooled so it will not kink or
tangle when spooled. Be sure any wire cable on the drum is tightly and
evenly layered. Spool enough wire cable to complete the next full layer
on the drum. Tighten and straighten the layer. Repeat process until the
hook is a minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) from the fairlead. Spool in the
remainder for storage.
SPOOLING REMAINDER FOR STORAGE
Keep hands clear of wire cable, hook, and fairlead opening. Always use the
hook strap to hold hook when spooling under no load. Carefully power in the
remaining wire cable jogging the control switch to take up the last of the
slack. Secure the hook to a suitable anchor point near the winch. Be careful
not to over-tighten or damage may occur to the wire cable or anchor point.
! WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
• Stand clear of wire cable and load during operation.
• Be certain the anchor will withstand the load.
• Always use a choker chain, wire choker rope, or tree trunk protector on
the anchor.
• Take your time; sloppy rigging causes accidents.
