SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual provides important information for all personnel
involved with the safe installation, operation and proper
maintenance of this product. Even if you feel you are familiar
with this or similar equipment, you should read this manual
before operating the winch.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 generally places

the burden of compliance with the user, not the manufacturer.
Many OSHA requirements are not concerned or connected with
the manufactured product but are, rather, associated with the final
installation. It is the owners and users responsibility to
determine the suitability of a product for any particular use. It is
recommended that all applicable industry, trade association,
federal, state and local regulations be checked. Read all operating
instructions and warnings before operation.

Danger, Warning, Caution and Notice

Throughout this manual there are steps and procedures which, if
not followed, may result in a hazard. The following signal words
are used to identify the level of potential hazard.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTICE

Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise

caution, use common sense and be familiar with proper rigging
techniques. Refer to ASME B30.9 for rigging information,
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10015.

Danger is used to indicate the presence of

a hazard which will cause severe injury,
death, or substantial property damage if
the warning is ignored.
Warning is used to indicate the presence
of a hazard which can cause severe injury,
death, or substantial property damage if
the warning is ignored.

This manual has been produced by Ingersoll Rand to provide

dealers, mechanics, operators and company personnel with
information required to install, operate, maintain and repair the
products described herein.

Caution is used to indicate the presence of

a hazard which will or can cause injury or
property damage if the warning is
ignored.

It is extremely important that mechanics and operators be familiar

with servicing procedures of these products, or like or similar
products, and are physically capable of conducting the
procedures. These personnel shall have a general working
knowledge that includes:
1. Proper and safe use and application of mechanics common
hand tools as well as special Ingersoll Rand or
recommended tools.
2. Safety procedures, precautions and work habits established
by accepted industry standards.

Notice is used to notify people of

installation, operation, or maintenance
information which is important but not
hazard-related.

Safety Summary

Ingersoll Rand cannot know of, or provide all the procedures by

which product operations or repairs may be conducted and the
hazards and/or results of each method. If operation or
maintenance procedures not specifically recommended by the
manufacturer are conducted, it must be ensured that product
safety is not endangered by the actions taken. If unsure of an
operation or maintenance procedure or step, personnel should
place the product in a safe condition and contact supervisors and/
or the factory for technical assistance.

WARNING
Do not use this winch for lifting, supporting, or transporting
people unless winch is approved for Man RiderTM
applications. Do not lift or support loads over people.
The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in
conjunction with this winch must provide an adequate safety
factor to handle the rated load, plus the weight of the winch
and attached equipment. This is the customers responsibility.
If in doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.
Ingersoll Rand winches are manufactured in accordance with the
latest ASME B30.7 standards.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for
Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and other recognized safety
sources make a common point: Employees who work near
suspended loads or assist in hooking on or arranging a load
should be instructed to keep out from under the load. From a
safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting or
pulling operations in such a manner that if there were an
equipment failure, no personnel would be injured. This means
keep out from under a raised load and keep out of the intended
path of any load.

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.

5.

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.

8.

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.
