SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions have been
adapted in part from American National (Safety) Standard ASME
B30.7 and are intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which
might lead to injury or property damage.
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who use winches
have a safety program in force at their facility. In the event that
some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication and
a similar rule already set by an individual company, the more
stringent of the two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator
aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are not necessarily
limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the
manual for additional safety information.
1. Only allow people, trained in safety and operation of this
product, to operate and maintain this winch.
2. Only operate a winch if you are physically fit to do so.
3. When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on the winch,
or controls, do not operate the winch until the sign has been
removed by designated personnel.
4. Before each shift, inspect winch for wear and damage. Never
use a winch that inspection indicates is worn or damaged.
5. Never lift a load greater than the rated capacity of the winch.
Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
6. Keep hands, clothing, etc., clear of moving parts.
7. Never place your hand in the throat area of a hook or near
wire rope spooling onto or off of the winch drum.
8. Always rig loads properly and carefully.
9. Be certain the load is properly seated in the saddle of the
hook. Do not support the load on the tip of the hook.
10. Do not “side pull” or “yard”.
11. Always ensure that you, and all other people, are clear of the
path of the load. Do not lift a load over people.
12. Never use the winch for lifting or lowering people, and never
allow anyone to stand on a suspended load.
13. Ease the slack out of the wire rope when starting a lift or pull.
Do not jerk the load.
14. Do not swing a suspended load.
15. Do not leave a suspended load unattended.
16. Never operate a winch with twisted, kinked or damaged wire
rope.
17. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating the
winch.
18. Never use the wire rope as a sling.
19. After use, or when in a non-operational mode, the winch
should be secured against unauthorized and unwarranted use.

Each winch is shipped from the factory with the warning labels
and tag shown. If the labels or tag are not attached to your winch,
order new labels and tag and install. Refer to the parts list for the
part numbers. Labels and tag shown are smaller than actual size.
