Winch Brake
Manual Drum Brake (optional feature)
The manual drum brake may be applied by pushing down on the handle and released by pulling up. If the handle is pushed down fully, it should
lock in that position and prevent drum rotation, until released by the operator. The brake must be kept properly adjusted to hold the required load.
Disengaging Clutch Equipped Winches
The function of the disengaging clutch is to disengage the wire rope drum from the motor so that wire rope can be unwound from the drum by hand.
The disengaging clutch is located at the end of the drum on the side of the winch opposite of the winch motor.
• Do not engage clutch when motor is running or drum is spinning, as this produces a severe strain on parts.
•
Do not disengage clutch when winch is loaded. Ensure clutch is fully engaged before operating winch. Engage locking dog before leaving
load suspended.
• Do not engage locking dog while drum is spinning.
• Do not use winches equipped with a disengaging clutch for lifting applications. If the label below is attached to the winch, do not use
winch for lifting.
•
All new, altered or modified equipment should be inspected and tested by personnel instructed in safety, operation and maintenance
of this equipment to ensure safe operation at rated specifications before placing equipment in service.
• Never use a winch that inspection indicates is damaged.
Frequent and periodic inspections should be performed on equipment in regular service. Frequent inspections are visual examinations performed
by operators or service personnel during routine winch operation. Periodic inspections are thorough inspections performed by personnel trained
in inspection of the winch. Inspection intervals depend upon the nature of the critical components of the equipment and the severity of usage.
Careful inspection on a regular basis will reveal potentially dangerous conditions while still in the early stages, allowing corrective action to be
taken before the condition becomes dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during operation, must be reported to an appointed person. A determination must be made as
to whether a deficiency constitutes a safety hazard before resuming operation of the winch.
Records and Reports
Some form of inspection record should be maintained for each winch, listing all points requiring periodic inspection. A written report should be
made monthly on the condition of the critical parts of each winch. These reports should be dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection,
and kept on file where they are readily available for review.
Wire Rope Reports
Records should be maintained as part of a long-range wire rope inspection program. Records should include the condition of wire rope removed
from service. Accurate records will establish a relationship between visual observations noted during frequent inspections and the actual condition
of wire rope as determined by periodic inspections.
Frequent Inspection
On equipment in continuous service, frequent inspection should be made by operators at the beginning of each shift. In addition, visual inspections
should be conducted during regular operation for indications of damage or evidence of malfunction (such as abnormal noises).
1. WINCH. Prior to operation, visually inspect winch housings, controls, brakes and drum for indications of damage. Do not operate the winch
unless the wire rope feeds onto the drum smoothly. Any discrepancies noted must be reviewed and inspected further by authorized personnel
instructed in the operation, safety and maintenance of this winch.
2. WIRE ROPE. Visually inspect all wire rope which can be expected to be in use during the day's operations. Inspect for wear and damage
indicated by distortion of wire rope such as kinking, "birdcaging," core protrusion, main strand displacement, corrosion, broken or cut strands.
If damage is evident, do not operate winch until the discrepancies have been reviewed and inspected further by personnel instructed in the
operation, safety and maintenance of this winch.
•
The full extent of wire rope wear cannot be determined by visual inspection. At any indication of wear inspect the wire rope in accordance
with instructions in "Periodic Inspection."
