262 STARTING 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 forefinger 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, care-
fully 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 application
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 situation. 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.
