Delivery Inspection
Upon delivery, verify the model and specifications, check for transport damage, and ensure all parts are present. Report any discrepancies immediately.

Specifications
Detailed specifications for the ME and RME models are provided, including wire rope tension, gear ratio, handle length, and weight. Operating within capacity is crucial to avoid unpredictable forces.

Installation Guidelines
Installation should be performed by experts, ensuring stability and accessibility for maintenance. Welding is discouraged, and proper alignment with pulleys is emphasized to prevent damage.

Environmental Precautions
The winch should not be used in extreme temperatures, high humidity, or corrosive environments. Protective measures are recommended for outdoor installations.

Wire Rope Installation
Guidelines for correctly installing the wire rope include loosening specific bolts and ensuring the rope meets winch specifications to prevent breakage.

Handling and Operation
Stop winch operation if the wire rope is stretched, ensure the load is secure, and the brake does not slip before lifting. Securely screw in wing bolts to fix the handle before operation.

Troubleshooting
Common issues include stopper brake problems, lowering issues, and abnormal sounds. Solutions involve checking winding direction, adjusting the brake unit, and replacing damaged parts.

Maintenance and Repair
Conduct daily and regular inspections by experts. Lower all loads before maintenance and use only genuine parts for repairs.

Brake Unit Disassembly
Perform maintenance after confirming no tension on the wire rope. Disassemble and inspect the brake unit periodically, clean and inspect parts, and reassemble with proper alignment and tightening.

Inspection Criteria
Check for damage, abrasion, or deformation on various components. Mark the winch as “OUT OF ORDER” if repairs are needed.
