Refer to the chart in section 3.6.1.2 Load lifting chart for the
number of wraps of rope to use.
WHEN WINCHING THEREFORE WHEN THE ROPE IS
UNDER TENSION MAKE SURE NO ONE IS WITHIN 5
METERS OF THE LOAD OR ROPE.
WHEN LIFTING, NEVER GO OVER THE RATED LIFTING
CAPACITY IN SINGLE LINE ( 250 KG/550 LB WITH THE
PCH1000 AND PCT1800 OR 450 KG/990 LB WITH THE
PCH2000 ) .

ALWAYS INITIATE MOVEMENTS OF THE LOAD WITH THE
LOWEST AVAILABLE SPEED. THE ROPE SHALL BE
TIGHTENED AND SHALL NOT BE IN THE SLACK-

3.6.1.1
Communications
When using a signalperson, communication between the operator
and the signalperson shall be maintained during all winch
movements. If at any time communication is disrupted or not
understood, the operator shall stop all winch movements until
communication is re-established.
Prior to signaling winch operations, all signalpersons shall be
competent in the following areas:
1)
Basic understanding of winch operations;
2)
Standard hand signals described below whenever hand
signals are used;
3)
Standard voice signals described below whenever voice
signals are used.
Standard hand signals are:

HORIZONTALLY, USING A PULLEY OR THE
HOIST or PAY IN:
With forearm vertical, forefinger
pointing up, move hand in small
horizontal circle.
MOVE SLOWLY:
Use one hand to give any motion
signal and place other hand
motionless together with the
hand giving the motion signal.

.
Standard voice signals shall be discussed and agreed upon by the
operator and the signalperson prior to beginning lifting
operations using voice signals.
If special signals are required, they shall be agreed upon in
advance by the winch operator and the signalperson. These signals
should not be in conflict with the standard signals.
3.6.1.2 Load lifting charts
When lifting a load, you must first determine the minimal number of
wraps required on the capstan drum in order to move the load. You
will find here two charts in accordance with the capstan drum size
used.
These charts are designed to help figure out the number of wraps
you need to lift a load and also allow its lowering. The friction on the
capstan drum is relative to the size of the drum installed, the
number of wraps and the load weight, therefore too many wraps
may prevent a load to lower.

or a PCT1800 equipped with a 85 mm (3-3/8'') capstan drum.

TO EVALUATE ITS APPROXIMATE WEIGHT.
