MBS AND WLL DEFINITIONS

MBS means Minimum Breaking Strength: the lowest amount of force or load a product or component can withstand during controlled laboratory testing before it structurally breaks or fails.

WLL means Working Load Limit: the maximum safe load specified by the manufacturer for normal use. It is much lower than the force required to make the equipment fail or yield.

WINCH-DRUM ATTACHMENT

Use only the drum attachment method, rope routing, and winding direction specified by the winch and rope manufacturers. The drum-end attachment retains the rope tail during installation; the required 11 wraps on the drum provide the frictional holding force.

The colored marker indicates approximately 11 wraps remaining. Verify its position for the specific winch before use. Do not winch with the line paid out beyond the marker, and follow the winch manufacturer’s instructions if they require more than 11 wraps. Do not substitute a knot, crimp, screw, or other attachment unless the winch and rope manufacturers approve it.

SAFETY

- Select a rope appropriate for the winch and recovery setup. Check the product rating tag before use.
- Use only with compatible winches, fairleads approved for synthetic rope, rated recovery points, and compatible connectors.
- Follow the winch manufacturer’s instructions for installation, spooling, and operation.
- Never exceed the WLL of the winch, rope, extender, shackle, recovery point, or any other component in the system.
- Protect the rope from sharp edges and abrasion; use suitable abrasion protection where needed.
- Do not use winch rope for kinetic or snatch recovery, conventional towing, or lifting.
- Inspect the full length of the rope or extender, including splices, soft eyes, thimble, and chafe guards, before use. Do not use damaged gear.
- Never touch a rope or connector under tension. Keep people clear of the line and load while winching.
- Wear appropriate gloves and follow the winch and product manufacturers’ instructions.
- If you are not trained to use recovery equipment, seek instruction from a qualified professional before use.
