Foreword
The safe and efficient operation of a winch requires skill
and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop the
skills required, the operator must:
• Receive training in the proper operation of the winch
and the machine on which it is mounted.
• Understand the capabilities and limitations of the winch
and the machine on which it is mounted.
• Become familiar with the winch and the machine on
which it is mounted and see that they are maintained
in good condition.
• Read and understand the SAFETY SUMMARY
and OPERATING PROCEDURES contained in this
Operating Manual.
In addition, a qualified person experienced in the operation
of the winch must guide a new operator through several
load handling applications before the new operator
attempts to operate the equipment alone. It is the
employer’s responsibility to make sure that the operator
can see, hear, and has the physical and mental ability to
operate the equipment safely.
This Operating Manual contains basic information
necessary for the operation and maintenance of a winch.
Optional equipment is sometimes installed that can
change the characteristics described in this manual.
Make sure the necessary instructions are available and
understood before operating the winch.
Some of the components described in this Operating
Manual will NOT be installed on your winch. If you have
questions about any item on your winch or described in
this Operating Manual, contact your local winch dealer,
or contact Allied Systems Company:

Safety Summary
»Do not work with a damaged or worn wire rope.
»Do not use a winch that needs repairs.
»If the wire rope and ferrule must be removed from
the drum, make sure the end of the wire rope and
ferrule are controlled when the ferrule is released.
The end of the wire rope can suddenly move from
the drum like a compressed spring when the
ferrule is released and cause an injury.
• Stay in the operator’s seat when operating the winch.
• Do not stand on the vehicle when operating the
winch.
• Avoid winch operation near people or other machines.
• Never stand nor permit others to stand in the bight
(loop) of a wire rope.
• Do not stand nor permit others to be near the winch
or wire rope when there is tension on the wire rope.
• Observe jobsite rules.
• Be in complete control at all times.
• Do not use the control levers as hangers for clothes,
water bags, grease guns, lunch pails, etc.
Obey the following cautions and
warnings before using your winch to
avoid equipment damage, personal
injury or death.
• Do not operate the winch unless you are authorized
and trained to do so.
• Do not operate the winch unless the vehicle is
equipped with a screen to protect the operator if the
wire rope breaks.
• Read, understand, and follow the operating,
inspection, and maintenance instructions in this
Operating Manual.
• Do not use the control levers for hand holds when
entering or leaving the vehicle.
• Do not permit other people near the control area
when you inspect or repair a machine.
• Never inspect, repair, or perform maintenance on a
machine that is in motion.
• Inspect the winch before each use:
»Make sure that the controls and instruments
operate correctly.

viii
• Do not leave the vehicle when the winch wire rope
is under tension.
• Do not permit riders on the vehicle or load.
• Do not use the winch as an anchor for a double or
two-part line.
• Do not pull the hook through the throat or over the
drum, which will cause damage.
• When the winch is not in use, make sure the control
lever is in BRAKE-ON position and the winch brake
is applied.
• Do not use winch as a hoist. Tractor and skidder
mounted winches are designed for towing.
• Always inspect wire rope, tail chain and other rigging
components for wear, damage, broken strands or
abuse before use.
• Never use wire rope, tail chain or other rigging that
is worn-out, damaged or abused.
• Never overload wire rope, tail chain or rigging.
