ATOM 500 WINCH USER MANUAL
500kg Safe Working Load
It is important to read this manual in its entirety before
attempting to use the winch.
Safe operating practices
This product is solely to be used for the assistance of loading and
unloading a wheelchair with single occupant.
Ensure the winch belt is free from any obstacles and that there is a clear
path for the wheelchair to be pulled along.
Ensure the occupant is seated securely and correctly in the wheelchair.
Never attempt to pull more than the winch is rated for. This product is load-
tested to 500kg (based on a maximum 12º ramp angle).
The winch should at no time be used in place of a wheelchair restraint
system. Please ensure the front inertia belts are fitted securely to the
wheelchair before the winch is operated.
Every wheelchair is different. Please use the correct anchor points when
attaching the winch harness to the wheelchair. If in doubt check your
wheelchair manual.
The winch belt should be kept under tension at all times.
The wheelchair should always be guided into the vehicle with a person
behind, paying close attention that the wheelchair remains central to the
ramp.
Routinely check the belt is clean and not showing any signs of wear.
Be aware that low battery voltage on your vehicle could impact on the
winch performance. Never jump-start the vehicle whilst the winch is
connected to the battery.
The following graph shows how the ramp angle alters the safe working load
of the winch.
Winch features
The winch has a gentle start and stop operation which controls the speed
to avoid any jolting. It is designed to automatically stop and temporarily
become inoperable if the safe working load is exceeded, thus preventing
serious damage or injury. It will automatically reset itself.
Furnished with a pin (see photos below) to allow the winch to swivel in line
with the pull of the wheelchair. Fitting the winch in this way, prevents any
distortion damage to the winch body and potential ride-up of the webbing
onto the reel. Simply drop the pin to lock in place or lift and rotate the pin
handle to allow the winch to pivot.
