READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THESE PRODUCTS. This manual contains important

This manual provides important information for all personnel involved

Danger, Warning, Caution and Notice
Throughout this manual there are steps and procedures which, if not
followed, may result in a hazard. The following signal words are used to
identify the level of potential hazard.
The following warnings and operating instructions are intended to avoid
unsafe operating practices which might lead to injury or property damage.
Ingersoll Rand recognizes that most companies who use winches have a
safety program in force at their facility. In the event that some conflict
exists between a rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already
set by an individual company, the more stringent of the two should take
precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of
dangerous practices to avoid and are not necessarily limited to the
following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for additional
safety information.
1.
Only allow people, trained in safety and operation of this product, to
operate the winch.
2.
Only operate a winch if you are physically fit to do so.
3.
When a "DO NOT OPERATE" sign is placed on the winch, or
controls, do not operate the winch until the sign has been removed
by designated personnel.
4.
Before each shift, the operator should inspect the winch for wear or
damage. Never use a winch which inspection indicates is worn or
damaged.
5.
Never lift or pull a load greater than the rated capacity of the winch.
See "SPECIFICATIONS" section.
6.
Keep hands, clothing, etc., clear of moving parts.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Summary
• Do not use these winches for lifting, supporting, or transporting
people or lifting or supporting loads over people.
• The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in
conjunction with these winches must provide an adequate safety
factor to handle the rated load, plus the weight of the winch and
attached equipment. This is the customer's responsibility. If in doubt,
consult a registered structural engineer.
Ingersoll Rand winches are manufactured in accordance with the latest
F. E. M. 9.511 standards.
Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise caution, use
