Using your ATV Winch
You need to take considerable care when you re setting up your ATV winch. for use. Put on gloves. This is important since wire ropes have barbs after you’ve used them a couple of times. Disengage the clutch and free the hook. Attach the hook strap. Remember to always use a hook strap. Hooks create a tremendous pull, and you might skewer your hand if you’re not careful. Pull the wire towards the anchor point. On selecting an anchor point, always choose a natural anchor. And it must be strong enough to withstand the pull. The most likely candidate should be a tree. Secure the choker around your anchor and attach the clevis shackle to the two ends of the choker and the hook loop. Now lock the clutch and connect the remote control. Put the wire rope under tension. It is wiser to create considerable slack by free spooling the winch drum at the start of your winching operation. Once the rope is under tension, stand clear and check everything. That would include your anchor, your ATV, the connections and the surroundings. Also, an additional safety procedure is to lay something heavy at the halfway point over the wire rope. If the wire rope snaps loose this can help secure the rope from snapping back.
