DISCOLORATION/DEGRADATION:
Chemical contamination can cause fused fibers, brittle fibers and
stiffness. Retire the rope.
IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT OF THE ROPE FITNESS, REPLACE
THE ROPE!

Lifting - Rope with buried eyed splice
For lifting operation, you have to attach the load
to the end of the rope. Even if you believe that a
bowline knot could do the job, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED to use the Portable Winch
Co. rope with buried eyed splice (see Figure).
Rope and hardware (hook, carabiner, shackle)
must have an adequate safety factor for the
load.
NOTE: Please, check with local authorities for
safety regulations in your area.

Winch anchoring
OPTION 1 : In most cases, the winch is anchored to a fixed object
using the polyester sling or one of our optional anchors, and the
rope is attached to the object you want to move. The latter moves
towards the winch as the winch pulls the rope.
OPTION 2 : Sometimes, the winch can be anchored to the object
you want to move, and the rope is attached to a fixed object. The
winch and the object to be moved are then pulled towards the rope
anchorage point. This method is useful when you need to guide the
load while operating the winch.
Your winch is supplied with a polyester sling.
To anchor the winch, go around the anchor point with the sling.
Insert each end of the sling into each of the two safety hooks
located at the back of the winch (fig. 1).
INCONSISTENT DIAMETER:
Shock loading or broken internal
strands can cause flat areas or
lumps and bumps on the rope.
Retire the rope.
For pulling loads, you have to attach the
load to the end of the rope. Even if a
simple knot can do the job, we
recommend the installation of a hook
with the bowline knot (Figure 1 on the
right) because it can be easily undone if
you need to change the hook. Moreover,
it retains about 70% of the rope's
capacity while most knots will reduce it
by more than 50%. Even better, the
double bowline knot (Figure 2 below) will
keep about 75% of your rope's capacity.

Position the winch in line with the load. When the winch is under
tension, it will try to align itself with the load. The friction of the sling
against the anchor point could prevent correct alignment. If that is
the case, release the tension on the rope and position the sling on
the anchor point so that the tension is equally distributed on both
winch anchor hooks.
DON'T DO THIS ! WHEN YOU ANCHOR THE WINCH,
MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT DO A COMPLETE WRAP
AROUND THE ANCHOR POINT ( FIGURE 2 BELOW ) . THIS
SET-UP WILL PREVENT PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE
WINCH WITH THE LOAD AND WILL PUT UNEVEN
TENSION ON THE WINCH ANCHOR HOOKS.
AVOID INSTALLING THE SLING ON SHARP EDGES THAT
MIGHT DAMAGE IT. WHETHER YOU ARE USING A POST,
A TREE OR A STUMP, ALWAYS INSTALL THE SLING NEAR
THE ANCHOR'S BASE.
USING A STUMP AS AN ANCHOR POINT MEANS PAYING
SPECIAL ATTENTION IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SLING
FROM SLIPPING OVER IT.
MAKE SURE THE ANCHOR POINT IS STRONG ENOUGH
TO RESIST THE PULL WITHOUT BREAKING OR BEING
DAMAGED.
