Safety measures

WARNING – security for life
! Do not use the winch to lift something (vertically).
! brake system: The winch has a drum brake that acts from the inside
on the rope drum and is triggered automatically. The brake shoes
are like the ones in a car and do also wear out (depending on load and
operating hours). The HWS95G winch has a transmission brake.
The transmission brake doesn't wear out, compared to the drum brake
and doesn't lose any braking effect when using for a long time.
Therefore, never use the winch rope down any person or object.
! Do not use it as an elevator.
! Never try to open the winches. In this case, the warranty expires.
! Never operate the winch with less than five rope rows around the
drum. The rope could detach from the drum as the rope attachment
to the drum is not designed for such a load!
! Perform a visual and functional check before each winching operation.
! Do not use the winch to pull or move people in any way.
! Position yourself and others at a safe distance sideways from the
rope when it's under tension.
! Never step on a rope and never go near a rope under load.
! Make sure the circuit breaker is easily accessible. The switch must
be in the workspace.
! Set the circuit breaker to OFF , (in the engine compartment) if the
winch is not used.
! Make sure no unauthorized people can operate the winch.
! Do not let the rope slide through your hands.
! make sure your hands are never less than 25 cm away from the
rope window.
64 Subject to technical changes
!
Always use gloves during the winch process.
! Use the safety band on the hook around the rope to wrap or unwrap.
Winch attachment
! The winch must be tested for their ability to operate before
installation.
! The winch must be installed on a rugged steel frame. This should be
flush horizontally and vertically. The winch must be bolted at all
designated points. It is very important that the winch is on a flat surface,
so that the three units (engine, rope drum and gearbox) are aligned.
! Make sure that the installation area withstands the traction power
of the winch. Attaching the winch can affect the trigger holding of the
SRS airbag.
! Check that attaching the winch system to your vehicle is approved
by the manufacturer.
! The electrical connection must be carried out by a professional.
No liability can be assumed for any damage caused to the on-board
electrics.
