Keep hands away from the drum, gears, wire cable, and other moving parts of the equipment. Install the wire cable securely to the winch drum. Ensure at least 3 turns of wire cable wound on the drum at all times, to serve as an anchor wrap. Keep all unnecessary personnel away from the winch while in operation. Keep out of the path of the load should the wire cable break and snap back and cause injury. DO NOT do the following: Do not lift people, or objects over people. Do not walk or work under a load or in the line of force of any load. Do not exceed the load rating of the winch or any other component in the system. To do so could result in failure of the equipment. Do not use more than one winch to move a load that exceeds the load rating of a single winch. A shift in load weight could overload the equipment. Do not use damaged or malfunctioning equipment. To do so could result in failure of the equipment. Do not modify the equipment in any way. To do so could cause equipment failure. Do not apply a load on the winch with the wire cable / fibre rope fully extended. Keep at least three full turns of cable / fibre rope on the drum. Do not wrap the wire cable / fibre rope around the load. This may damage the wire cable / fibre rope and could cause the load to slip / fall. Use a sling or other approved lifting device. Do not operate the winch with covers / guards removed or improperly installed. Do not divert your attention from the operation. Stay alert to the possibility of accidents, and try to prevent them from happening. Do not jerk or swing the load. Avoid shock loads by starting and stopping the load smoothly. Shock loads overload the equipment and may cause damage. Do not leave a suspended load unattended unless specific precautions have been undertaken and keep people away from the winch and out from under the load.

This eliminates the danger of the crane boom swinging out of control when the load is taken up. The boom can only be rotated (slewed) by operating the slewing control handle. This important safety feature keeps the load under control at all times – essential for one person operation. With a choice of two models, the Backsaver Crane suits a host of reach and lift requirements. With an extendable position action, all cranes have a boom reach of over 1 metre at their 300kg and 500kg lift positions. Both models have a choice of boom angle settings for even greater adaptability. If it’s got to be lifted, do it the easy way, with a Jarrett Backsaver Crane.

Limit non-uniform winding by keeping tension on the wire cable. It is the operators responsibility to detect and account for different factors affecting the condition and performance of the equipment. The pull required to move the load must not exceed the load rating of the winch. Consider the total force required to move the load, not the weight of the load. The winch can develop forces that will exceed the load rating. It is the responsibility of the winch operator to limit the size of the load. Inspect the winch regularly for damage according to the instructions contained in the Owner’s Manual. Performance ratings of the winch are affected by the amount of wire cable wound onto the drum, the way in which it is wound, and the way the winch is used. Drum capacity depends on how tightly and evenly the wire cable is wound onto the drum. Actual drum capacities are usually 25-30% less than the values shown in performance tables, due to loose winding and overlapping. Load rating represents the maximum pull that can be placed on a new winch. Load ratings are assigned values for specific amounts of load travel or wire cable accumulation. The load rating decreases as layers of wire cable accumulate on the drum. Duty ratings refer to the type of use the winch is subject to. Consider the following when determining duty rating. Environment: harsh environments include hot, cold, dirty, wet or corrosive surroundings. Protect the winch against harsh environments when possible. Maintenance: poor maintenance, meaning poor cleaning, lubrication or inspection, leads to poor operation and possible damage of the winch. Minimise poor maintenance by carefully following the instructions contained in the Owner’s Manual. Loading: severe loading includes shock loading and moving loads that exceed the load rating of the winch. Avoid shock loads, and do not exceed the load rating of the winch. Frequency of operation: frequent or lengthy operations increase wear and shorten the life span of gears, bushes, and other components. Increase maintenance of the winch if used in frequent operations. Installing the Winch Important ! Inspect the winch immediately following installation. This will give provide a record of the condition of the winch from which to compare future inspections. Warning Do not install the Backsaver Crane near corrosive chemicals, flammable materials or other elements that may damage the winch or injure the operator. Adequately protect the winch and operator from such elements. Position the Backsaver Crane so the operator can stand clear of the load, and out of the path of possible broken wire cable that could snap back and cause injury. Attach the Backsaver Crane to a rigid and level / flat foundation that will support the winch and its load under all load / unload conditions, including shock loading. (For Backsaver Crane assembly – see page 8. For vehicular installation – see page 9. ) Fasten the winch securely to the Backsaver Crane winch mounting plate, utilising all four mounting holes to ensure maximum capacity. 4ea. M10 galvanised or G316 stainless steel bolts, flat and spring washers and nuts should be used to secure the winch to the outer boom. Installing wire cable / fibre rope onto Jarrett winches Important ! • • • Use wire cable and other rigging equipment rated for the capacity of the winch. Do not drag the wire cable through dirt or debris that could cause damage, or poor operation. Always wear protective clothing when handling wire cable. • Install the wire cable securely to the winch drum. A poorly secured wire cable could come loose from its anchor and could release the load. Ensure the wire cable is wound correctly or the winch may not work properly and could release the load. Always ensure that a minimum of three full turns remain on the winch drum at all times. • • Where wire cable / fibre rope is not supplied or is to be replaced, purchase the proper wire cable / fibre rope for your application. Keep the following in mind when selecting. Contact a reputable supplier for assistance. Breaking strength of new wire cable / fibre rope should be at least 2 times greater than the rating of the winch.

Secure the wire cable / fibre rope to the winch drum as per the securing instructions below. Test the wire cable / fibre rope installation by operating the winch. Wind three full turns of wire cable onto the drum by operating the winch whilst holding the wire cable taut. These turns serve as an anchor wraps and must remain on the drum at all times. Dependant on Winch model, two securing methods for cable are applicable: Instruction for securing a cable to a winch using a plate clamp fitting 1. 2. Tape the cable end using 50mm – 70mm of plastic tape. This is to stop the cable end from fraying and causing injury in use. Fold the end of the cable (approximately 30mm) back on itself and permanently kink the end. 3. Feed the taped end of the cable through the round hole of the drum flange (disc) from inside the drum. Place one of the cup head bolts into Hole 1 of the clamp fitting, with the head on the inside of the drum assembly, and pull the cable tight against the bolt. Attach the nut and tighten. Align the second hole in the plate with Hole 2, and secure with the second bolt and nut. 4. 5. Instruction for securing a cable to a winch using a single bolt fitting 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Place the cup headed bolt into the square hole with the head on the inside of the drum assembly. Screw on the combination nut and washer only 2-3 threads. Tape the cable end using 50mm – 70mm of plastic tape. This is to stop the cable end from fraying and causing injury in use. Feed the taped end of the cable through the round hole of the drum flange (disc) from inside the drum and double back to loop the cable under the bolt, behind the washer and back towards the round hole. While holding the cable in place under the nut with the left hand, pull the cable tight with the right hand. Using the thumb of the left hand hold the cable in place inside the drum and tighten the nut to secure the cable in place. View from outside the drum showing cable flow Turn the handle to wind the wire cable onto the winch drum. Uniformly wind the wire cable onto the winch drum by holding the wire cable taut. Instruction for securing fibre rope to winch – Note: Fibre rope to be ≤ Ø7mm 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Take the winch drum with the gear facing the assembler and the free end of the rope and wrap three turns around the hub of the drum in an anticlockwise direction. Take the free end and pass it between the three turns and the drum hub and then pass the free end over the three turns on the drum and under the last turn. Pass free end of the rope under the last bite and through the ‘cable’ hole in the flange. Pull firmly so that the turns on the drum lie reasonably flat. The length protruding needs to be about 150mm. Insert from inside the drum flange (centre hole) the M6 square neck cup head bolt and screw the M6 flanged serrated hexagon nut onto the bolt. Wrap the rope around the M6 bolt inside the flanged serrated hexagon nut. Secure the fibre rope by tightening the nut using an M6 spanner. When securing, ensure that the rope fibres do not catch on the bolt threads and that the rope stays inside the flanged section. Trim any excess rope. The turns around the drum will have become loose. Work the turns so that the rope lays flat against the hub and there is no slack. Preparing for Operation Important ! When determining whether the load will exceed the load rating, consider the total force required to move the load. Consider the operation. Do not begin until you are sure you can perform the entire operation without hazard. Inspect all components of the system. Inspect the winch and other equipment in accordance with Inspection instruction. Operators should be in good health, alert and suitably clothed (i.e. no loose clothing) The load must be clear of objects and free to move. Ensure the load will not tip, spin, roll away, or in any way move uncontrollably. Know your load and make sure you do not exceed the load rating of the winch or any other equipment in your system.

This may damage the wire cable / fibre rope and could cause the load to slip / fall. Use a sling or other approved lifting device. Clear objects from the path of the load so you can move it freely and observe it at all times during the operation. Attach the load using a nylon sling, or other approved rigging device. Follow the recommendations of the sling manufacturer. Seat the sling in the saddle of the snap hook with the hook latch completely closed. The winch drum is operated slowly to retrieve the slack cable. When the cable is taut, check to ensure the sling is correctly positioned in the snap hook prior to moving the load. Centre the load on the hook so it will remain balanced and not tip or rotate to one side. Moving the Load Important ! • • • • • Obey a stop signal from anyone. Maintain tension on the wire cable to keep it tightly and evenly wound on the drum. If the winch and load are not visible during the entire operation, get help from another person. Appoint a supervisor if more than one person is involved in the operation. This will reduce confusion and increase safety. Where possible, remove the handle when the winch is not in use, to help avoid unauthorised use. Move the load slowly and smoothly, only a small distance at first. Make sure the load is balanced and securely attached before continuing. Observe the wire cable as it winds onto the drum. If it becomes loose. Uneven, or overlapped, stop the operation and rewind before continuing. Continued operation with overlapped or uneven wire cable can damage and shorten its life. Cleaning the Winch Important ! Increase the frequency of maintenance procedures if the winch is: • Operated for long periods. • Used to pull heavy loads. • Operated in wet, dirty, hot or cold surroundings. Clean the winch to remove dirt and help prevent rust and corrosion. Clean the winch every three months or whenever it is dirty. Wipe all components to remove dirt and grease. Leave a light film of oil on all surfaces to protect them against rust and corrosion. Ensure no lubricant comes in contact with the brake discs (mechanism) Wipe off excess amounts of oil to avoid accumulation of dirt. Remove all unnecessary objects from the area surrounding the winch. Lubricating the Winch Important ! Make sure the lubricant has a temperature rating appropriate for the ambient temperatures of the operation. Lubricate the winch properly to help protect it from wear and rust. Ensure no lubricant comes in contact with the brake discs (mechanism) Lubricate the winch at least every three months, by applying a light grade oil to the drum shaft and bushes. Rotate the drum several times to allow oil to penetrate, and wipe off excess oil to avoid dirt accumulation.

Keep written records of inspection. This allows comparison with comments from previous inspections so you can see changes in condition or performance Warning Do not use damaged or malfunctioning equipment. Seek immediate repair. Inspect the winch to detect signs of damage or poor operation before they become hazardous. Instructions – Frequent Inspection Perform frequent inspections: • Before each operation. • Whenever you notice signs of damage or poor operation VISUALLY INSPECT the entire crane / winch and all other associated equipment involved in the operation. • • • • • • • Check all equipment for cracks, dents, bending, rust, wear, corrosion and other damage. Check gears, pinions and pawl for wear, and other damage. Make sure the wire cable is installed correctly and anchored securely to the drum Make sure the winch is properly lubricated. Make sure the handle is securely held in place. Make sure the mounting fasteners are tightened securely Make sure the foundation is in good condition, and capable of supporting the winch and its load under all load conditions. TEST WINCH PERFORMANCE by moving a test load equal to 10% of the rated capacity. • • • • Listen for unusual noises, and look for signs of damage as you operate the winch. Make sure the winch cable winds evenly and tightly onto the drum. If it is loose or uneven, rewind it before continuing. Make sure the handle moves freely in both directions. Make sure the pawl (ratchet) engages and disengages completely. Completely correct all problems before continuing. Use the Troubleshooting Chart (at end of this Section) to help determine the cause of certain problems. Instructions – Periodic Inspection Perform periodic inspections: • Every three months. • Whenever you return the winch to service from storage. • Whenever you notice damage or poor operation in a frequent inspection. • Whenever you have, or think you may have, overloaded or shock loaded the winch. Visually inspect the entire winch and all other associated equipment involved in the operation. • • • • • • • • Check the finish for wear, flaking, or other damage. Check all equipment for cracks, dents, bending, rust, wear corrosion and other damage. If the equipment was overloaded, or if you notice cracks and other signs of overloading and damage, promptly remove the equipment from use and have it repaired or replaced. Do not continue to use the damaged or overloaded equipment. Inspect friction plates/pads and mating surfaces for contamination, dust, corrosion and wear. If necessary, lightly remove surface contamination, etc. REPLACE friction plates/pads if excessive wear (to 1mm thick) is evident or are either cracked or broken. Check all fasteners for stripped threads, wear, bending, and other damage. Check gears, shafts and bushes for wear, and other damage. Check the foundation for cracks, corrosion, and other damage. Make sure the winch is properly lubricated. Make sure all labels and plates are readable, firmly attached, free from damage and clean. If your winch installed with fibre rope: Unwind the fibre rope completely. • Check the entire length of fibre rope for excessive wear, chafing, cuts, dirt and grit, and other damage. THEN • Make sure the snap hook is securely attached to the fibre rope. • Check the throat opening, thickness, and twist of the snap hook. Replace the hook if it shows signs of damage. See figure 2. • Make sure the hook latch opens without binding and closes when released. • Check the anchor holes in the drum flange, clamp fittings and bolts for signs of wear or distortion. If your winch installed with wire cable: Remove the wire cable entirely from the drum. • Always wear protective clothing when handling wire cable.

Carefully inspect areas that pass over sheaves or through roller guides. Note the location and concentration of broken wires. Replace the wire cable if more than 6 wires are broken in one lay, or more than 3 wires are broken in one strand in one lay. See Figure 1. Make sure the snap hook is securely attached to the wire cable, and the wire cable where it is attached is not frayed, corroded, broken, or otherwise damaged. Check the throat opening, thickness, and twist of the snap hook. Replace the hook if it shows signs of damage. See figure 2. Make sure the hook latch opens without binding and closes when released. Check the anchor holes in the drum flange, clamp fittings and bolts for signs of wear or distortion. Measure the diameter of the wire cable, especially in areas where wear is noticeable. Replace the wire cable if the diameter measures below the minimum diameter at any point. See figure 3. REMOVE THE WINCH from the winch mounting plate of the Backsaver Crane. • • Check fasteners for stripped threads, wear, bending, and other damage. Check the frame (winch body) for bending, distortion, cracks, and other damage. A bent frame is caused by overloading, and is a sign that your application may require a winch with a larger load rating. MOVE THE DRUM with your hands. • • Check for excessive movement indicating worn or loose gears, bushings, or shafts. Disassemble the winch if necessary. Inspect gears, pins, springs and shafts for wear, corrosion, distortion, and other damage FASTEN THE WINCH securely to the winch mounting plate of the Backsaver Crane. INSTALL THE WIRE CABLE. TEST WINCH PERFORMANCE by operating the winch with a test load equal to the load rating. • • • • Listen for unusual noises, and look for signs of damage as you operate the winch.
