7) Stand about 1 m (3') from the winch and pull gently and
horizontally on the rope to get the slack until you feel the
tension rising on the rope;
8) Look at your set-up to make sure that the winch anchor and the
rope entry pulley are aligned with the rope;
9) Check that the rope does not rub against objects along the path;
10) Pull on the rope, the throttle will go up and the winching will start.
1) Figure 1: Open the rope grabbing
system (A) and lock in place with
spring pin (B);
2) Start the engine and let it idle for
30 seconds to warm-up
(PCH1000/2000);
3) Figure 2: Run the rope OVER the
rope keeper and the rope entry
pulley (A) and UNDER the drum.
Then, wrap the rope around the
drum (B) 2-6 turns (according to the
load lifting chart of section
3.6.1.2);
4) Figure 3: Insert the rope into rope
grabbing system device by pulling
the spring-loaded cam lever
upwards (A). This will give enough
room to insert the rope.
5) Figure 4: Make sure the rope
goes over the stainless steel
knob (A). Then, push the spring-
loaded cam back against the rope
which will automatically hold a load
if the rope end is let go (B).
6) Figure 5:
As you pull the rope (A), the throttle
will engage and load will move.
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to pull
the rope HORIZONTALLY to get the
load
started.
To
stop
movement, stop pulling on rope.

Safety precautions
3.5
Pulling loads
To pull a load, follow the steps found in section 3.3 Rope
installation. However, when pulling a load on the ground that does
not risk falling or rolling back, you may want to disengage the rope
grabbing system. If you do not and the load gets stuck, you may
have trouble getting some slack since the rope will already be
stretched to its maximum and the rope grabbing system will be very
hard to disengage.
Using the winch without the rope grabbing system allows you to
release the tension and benefit from the elasticity of the rope to restart
pulling and let the engine reach its maximum revolution (RPM).

3.5.2
When pulling with the rope grabbing system engaged
If the rope grabbing system is used, when you stop pulling, the
rope grabbing system engages, and, therefore, applies pressure
on the rope and keeps it under tension. To release it, follow steps
1 to 7 of section 3.6.2 Lowering a load.

Lifting loads
3.6.1
Lifting operation
To lift a load, you will need to decide which anchoring accessories
you will use. Refer to our Website https://portablewinch.info/ to find
out about anchoring accessories available.
USING COMMON SENSE WHILE MOVING A LOAD IS
THE KEY TO A SECURE WINCH USAGE.
CHECK WINCH POSITION, ROPE CONDITION, SOLIDITY
OF THE ANCHOR POINT, KNOTS, CARABINERS OR
SHACKLES IN ORDER TO PREVENT INJURIES OR
MATERIAL DAMAGE.
GENERALLY, IF THE ROPE TOUCHES AN OBJECT, YOUR
INSTALLATION IS INCORRECT.
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE CAPSTAN DRUM, THE
ROPE GRABBING SYSTEM, THE ROPE GUIDE OR THE
ROPE ENTRY PULLEY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
LOOK AT YOUR SET-UP TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WINCH
ANCHORS AND THE ROPE ENTRY PULLEY ARE ALIGNED
WITH THE ROPE.
WHILE WINCHING, POSITION YOURSELF AWAY FROM
THE WINCH IN ORDER TO SEE BOTH THE WINCH AND THE
LOAD. PULL HORIZONTALLY ON THE ROPE. THE TENSION
YOU EXERT ON THE ROPE WILL KEEP THE WINCH
LEVELED. DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE WINCH TILTED OR
THE OIL ALERT™ WILL KICK IN (SEE SECTION 2.2.2).
DO NOT WRAP THE ROPE AROUND YOUR HANDS OR
YOUR
BODY!
ALSO
BEWARE
ACCUMULATING NEXT TO YOU; MAKE SURE YOUR FEET
DO NOT GET TANGLED IN IT.
CAREFULLY WATCH THE CAPSTAN DRUM DURING THE
OPERATION AND MAKE SURE THE ROPE DOES NOT
CROSS OVER ON IT. IF IT HAPPENS, RELEASE THE
TENSION ON THE ROPE AND STOP THE ENGINE WHILE
UNDOING THE CROSS OVER.
DO NOT PULL A LOAD DIRECTLY TOWARD THE WINCH IN
A DOWNWARD SLOPE SINCE IT COULD SLIDE WITHOUT
YOU BEING ABLE TO STOP IT. IN THAT SITUATION, USE A
PULLEY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND POSITION THE
WINCH OUTSIDE OF THE LOAD'S PATH.
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE CAPSTAN DRUM OR
THE ROPE ENTRY PULLEY WHEN THE WINCH IS RUNNING.
IF THERE IS ANY RISK THE LOAD MAY FALL OR ROLL
BACK, DO NOT DISENGAGE THE ROPE GRABBING
SYSTEM.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
STRETCH = DANGER !
DO NOT WRAP THE ROPE AROUND YOUR HANDS OR
YOUR
BODY!

BEWARE
