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. Always keep five wraps of steel cable on the drum 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.
Pull a load at an angle by using a pulley attached to a
structure (Fig. 7). Both must be capable of withstanding
the load.
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.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The winch requires more
amps to move a heavier
load. Consult Table 2 to
determine the amperage
consumption based on the
load' s weight.
A snatch block increases a
winch' s pulling power
without an increase in amperage. Using a snatch block can halve the power
required.
