3.6.2.2
Pulling
To pull a load, follow the steps found in section 3.5 Rope installation.
However, when pulling a load on the ground that does not risk falling
or rolling back, you may want to disengage the rope grabbing system.
If you do not and the load get stuck, you may have trouble getting
some slack since the rope will already be stretched to its maximum
and the rope grabbing system will be very hard to disengage.
Using the winch without the rope grabbing system allows you to
release the tension and benefit from the elasticity of the rope to restart
pulling and let the engine reach its maximum revolution (RPM).
IF THERE IS ANY RISK THE LOAD MAY FALL OR ROLL BACK, DO
NOT COMPLETELY DISENGAGE THE ROPE GRABBING SYSTEM.
3.6.2.3
Disengaging the rope grabbing system
To disengage the rope grabbing system, open the spring-loaded cam
upwards and let it rest on the frame of the rope grabbing system
(Figure 1, 1). To re-engage it, lift it upward again and bring it back
towards the pulling rope (Figure 1, 2).

3.6.2.4
Releasing the tension
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
STRETCH= DANGER !
DO NOT WRAP THE ROPE AROUND YOUR HANDS OR YOUR
BODY! ALSO BEWARE OF THE ROPE ACCUMULATING NEXT
TO YOU; MAKE SURE YOUR FEET DO NOT GET TANGLED IN IT.
3.6.2.5
When pulling with the rope grabbing system engaged
If the rope grabbing system is used, when you stop pulling, the rope
grabbing system engages, and, therefore, applies pressure on the
rope and keeps it under tension. To release it, follow steps 1 to 7 of
section 3.6.2 Lowering a load.
3.6.2.6
When pulling with the rope grabbing system disengaged
If the rope grabbing system is not used, when you stop pulling, you
simply have to release tension gradually to lower the load gently to
the ground.
Emergency STOP switch
3.6.2.7
(PCH2000 only)
The PCH2000 is equipped with an emergency "STOP" switch, which
acts exactly as the on/off switch except the fact that it is easier to
reach and to use in case of unexpected situations. When pressed,
the emergency switch automatically turns off the ignition of the
engine and the switch stays blocked. To release the switch, just turn
the button in the directions of the arrows..

Inspection
This section applies to winches used for lifting. The term inspect
implies that any minor repair, tightening, part replacement, cleaning,
adjustment, etc., that can be performed during the inspection
procedure is done.
The procedures below are intended to provide a guide to the end-user
to help maintain compliance with ASME/ANSI Standard B30.7-201
and ISO Standard 14492-1:2006. Local authorities may require other
periodic test procedures.
4.1
Initial inspection and test
When the new or factory refurbished winch is first put in service,
perform the following:
4.1.1
Engine
(PCH1000 and PCH2000 only)
1)
Check oil level (see Honda Owner's Manual);
2)
Check air filter (see Honda Owner's Manual);
3)
Check fuel level (see Honda Owner's Manual);
4)
Test On/Off switch by starting the engine with switch on,
and turning it off. If the engine fails to turn off, it can be
shut down by closing the choke.
5)
Test emergency STOP switch by starting the engine with
switch on, and pressing the emergency switch after to turn
the engine off. If the engine fails to turn off, it can be shut
down by using the on/off switch. (PCH2000 only).
4.1.2
Winch operation
4.1.2.1 Test throttle adjustment
Without rope on the drum:
1)
Pull on plate and confirm that the maximum course is
reached (Figure 1, A);
2)
Observe drum rotating under full throttle;
3)
Release plate and confirm the minimum course is reached
by spring return action (Figure 1, B);
4)
Observe drum not rotating when engine is idling;
5)
If there are any adjustments to be made, perform the
adjustments and re-test.
6)
Listen for any unusual noise.
