Troubleshooting

Winch does not engage or lift load

Ensure the operating handle is properly attached and that the load is within the 800kg rated capacity. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism.

Wire rope is difficult to pull

Verify the rope is not tangled or kinked. Ensure the hoist is properly aligned with the load and the anchor point. Check for potential binding.

Safety hook does not close properly

Inspect the hook and safety catch for damage or debris. Clean and ensure the catch mechanism moves freely.

Overload protection is activating frequently

The load likely exceeds the 800kg rated capacity. Reduce the load or use a higher capacity winch. Ensure the winch is not binding against anything.
