Precautions For Winch Use

1. It is best to ensure that the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle are in a straight line. The angled towing will offset the traction force, and the second will cause the winch cable to wind at one end. Orientation pulleys can be used if the angle cannot be adjusted.
2. When using a winch to tow heavy objects or vehicles, always pay attention to the voltage of the battery. If the voltage of the battery is too low, stop the operation immediately, and increase the voltage of the battery by increasing the engine speed to force the generator to charge. Because the power of the winch motor is fixed, the lower the voltage, the greater the current that breaks down the battery and the control relay, and the forced use of low voltage will easily and quickly reduce the life of the battery and the relay in the control box. When the voltage is low, the speed of retrieving the rope will also slow down.
3. When dragging heavy objects or vehicles that are difficult to drag, the pulley block can be used to form a loop to increase traction.
4. Reasonable methods should be adopted to fix the traction point during the towing process, such as drilling tires, fixing the car body, and skillfully using tools such as tree hugging belts and ground spears.

5. Ensure the reliability of the clutch switch to avoid danger during rescue.
6. Wear gloves when operating the winch cable, and place rubber pads and other items on the cable to prevent destructive rebound after the winch cable breaks.
7. If the time is tight and it is impossible to ensure the neatness of the rope, it is also necessary to let go of the rope fence when conditions permit, and rewind the rope fence neatly on the reel. Avoid long and messy winding of the rope fence.
8. When pulling objects, if you need to loosen the wire rope, you should use the release button carefully, which will easily cause the wire rope to become knotted and entangled on the reel. It can cooperate with the clutch to stretch the steel cable as straight as possible before using it.
9. It is best to equip 2 winches for team trips, cross-country, and expeditions to deal with escape or dangerous situations.
10. The winch should be rigidly connected to the most reliable place on the car body to avoid separation from the car body or other dangers during towing.
11. There is also a spare battery. That thing is an electric tiger. The winch can quickly consume the power of the battery. Dual batteries are necessary, and the second battery can be made larger.
