CABLE ANGLE
The winch does not have a roller or hawse fairlead. The angle
between the winch and the load should be as close to zero
as possible.
A load may be off to one side, introducing an unwanted angle for
the cable. Find an anchor point at a 90° angle to the winch and
install a pulley to connect to the load. Pull the load to the pulley
and then connect directly to the load to complete the task.
POWER
The maximum load the
winch can pull is
diminished with each
additional layer of steel
cable around the winch's
drum. Table 1 shows the
maximum amount of
weight it can pull and the
length of cable remaining
on the drum.
Whenever possible, remove as much steel cable off the winch to
pull with the maximum power. Keep five wraps of steel cable on
the drum at all times to prevent the steel cable from slipping off.
Use a snatch block to move a heavier load that is close to the
winch. This will double the amount of line outside the fairlead
and increase the winch's pulling power at close range.
LINE SPEED
The heavier the load, the
longer it will take the winch
to move the load to the
desired location. Consult
Table 2 to determine how
fast the line will be drawn
into the winch.
A snatch block will halve
the line speed when
pulling the load.
