NORMAL OPERATIONS
Before starting operations perform the following:
Perform a visual inspection of the winch.
Confirm there are no personnel within the working area of the winch.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Cardiac pacemakers are known to be susceptible to strong electromagnetic fields. The
electromagnetic interference created by the dynamic braking process can constitute a mortal
danger to users of implanted pacemakers.
Entrapment hazard
The winch is equipped with multiple moving parts that may rotate in opposite directions and
therefore constitute an entrapment hazard.
Material Safety
Refer to section for information regarding the safe use and disposal of the products recommended
by the manufacturer for the use and maintenance of the winch.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Operating a winch or working near an operating winch is a hazardous environment. Adhere to the
vessel’s safety measures regarding personal protective equipment.
Operator
Use a trained operator familiar with the winch operations. The operator should read and
understand this manual before operating the winch.
Safe and controlled operation
The winch is a complex machine that dispenses tremendous forces. These forces can be
destructive to the winch itself. Continuous use of the winch at its maximum capacities can
significantly reduce its performance and working life and create a dangerous hazard.
