SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions have been
adapted in part from American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(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 personnel 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 winch, or
controls, do not operate winch until sign has been removed
by designated personnel.
4. Before each shift, check winch for wear and damage. Never
use a winch that inspection indicates is worn or damaged.
5. Never lift a load greater than rated capacity of the winch.
Refer to labels attached to winch or 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 winch drum.
8. Always rig loads properly and carefully.
9. Be certain the load is properly seated in saddle of hook. Do
not support load on tip of hook.
10. Do not “side pull” or “yard”.

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.

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 winch wire rope as a sling.
