Pace-Edwards Utility Rig Rack - Manual (Page 8)

OPERATION & CA UTIONS
The Work Winch has a rated capacity of 1200 lbs. This is the load the complete assembly will withstand before failure.
It is a recommended industry standard that the working load not exceed 1/3 of the rated capacity or 400 lbs.
Inspect strap and winch assembly before each use and replace if worn or damaged. Make sure that the cotter pin and
washers are securely in place and that parts move freely. Keep at least 2 wraps of strap around mandrel. Keep strap
away from sharp or hot surfaces. CHECK TENSION FREQUENTL Y - STRAPS STRETCH AND LOADS SETTLE.
No warranty is made about the suitability of this product for any purpose other than securing ladders. Keep cargo
height within the side rails of the rack
Work Winches can be installed form either the left side or the right side of Contractor Rig gussets and brackets. Pay
careful attention to the orientation of both the pawl and the strap. The pawl looks like a dolphin and its nose faces
away from you. The hook end of the strap should come up on the outside of the coil from underneath.
T o secure a load, let the handle hang freely , lift the pawl and pull out enough strap to go over the load. For pickup trucks,
engage the hook on the underside of the 2 1/2” tall lip of the crossmember. T ake up the slack by rotating the hand wheel
and tighten using the handle. Do not over tighten as the handle has been designed to slip on the hex if it is over-stressed.
REMEMBER TO CHECK STRAP TENSION FREQUENTL Y BECAUSE STRAPS STRETCH AND LOADS SETTLE.
