Operating instructions
To improve the life time of your winch launching cable, you should observe the following hints (excerpt from the operating instruction)
- Wind on the cable with lowest drum torque
- Use swivel only if necessary. Never use the swivel during the launch, only during pulling out the cable
- Only experienced winch drivers should do the launching with a new cable
- Increase the load gradually up to the maximum load capacity of the cable
- Always retrieve the cable with constant, moderate speed.
We deliver our winch cables with a detailed operating instruction for the correct “Cable treatment”.
