Ramsey Winch ATV-3000 W_SYNTHETIC ROPE - Manual (Page 2)

Safety Precautions To Guard
Against Possible Injury.....
A minimum of FIVE wraps of synthetic
rope around the drum barrel is required
to hold the load. The anchor puck is not
designed to hold the load.
A. Keep yourself and others a safe distance to
the side of the rope when pulling under load.
B. Do not step over a rope, or near a rope under
load.
C. Use supplied hook strap when handling hook
for spooling rope.
D. Do not use the ATV to pull a load on the
winch rope. This could result in rope break-
age and/or winch damage
E. Apply blocks to wheels when ATV is on an
incline.
F. Winch clutch should be disengaged when
winch is not in use and fully engaged when in
use.
G. Modification, alteration, or deviation to the
winch should only be made by Ramsey
Winch Company.
I. Keep the duration of your pulls as short as
possible. If the motor becomes uncomfort-
ably hot to the touch, stop and let it cool for a
few minutes. Do not pull more than one
minute at or near the rated load. Do not
maintain power to the winch if the motor
stalls. Electric winches are for intermittent
usage and should not be used in constant
duty applications.
J. Do not use winch in hoisting applications due
to required hoist safety factors and features.
K. Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings
shown in tables. Shock loads must not
exceed these ratings.
L. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep a
slight load on the rope. Do not allow the rope
to slip through your hand and do not
approach the winch too closely. When all the
rope except a few feet is in, stop and finish
spooling in rope by rotating the drum by hand
with clutch disengaged. Always use hook
strap to hold hook when spooling.
Tips for Safe Operation
Don't underestimate the potential danger in
winching operations. Neither should you fear
them. Do learn the basic dangers and avoid
them.
Observe spooling of rope onto drum. Side pulls
can cause rope to pileup at one end of the drum.
To correct uneven stacking, spool out that section
of the rope and move it to the other end of the
drum and continue winching. Uneven spooling
which causes rope pileup can interfere with the
winch tie rods causing damage to the winch.
Store the wireless remote control transmitter in a
safe place where it will not become damaged.
Inspect it before you use it.
