MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE BY USING PULLEYS

Check out this video by Portable Winch to learn how to add power to your winch setup by using pulleys below:

There is no maximum distance limit to be observed. That’s why we sell ropes of different lengths.

However, when possible, it is a good idea to pull from a distance enabling you to see the load to be pulled clearly and react if necessary.

The GXH-50 engine uses approximately 340 g / kW. At full throttle, under load, the engine develops 1.8 kW.

Gasoline has a specific gravity of about 0.74 (or 740 g / litre), so the engine will consume in one hour: (1.8 x 340) / 740 = 0.827 litre / hour.

The fuel tank, with 1.2 litre capacity will last approximately one hour at full throttle.

But in our experience, one hour of pull is more than a normal day in the woods. But some applications will have different intensities of use.

• Use gasoline without ethanol.
• A filled tank means no condensation - air (and therefore space) in an unfilled tank will create condensation, especially in seasons with good temperature variations.
• If the winch is not started for an extended period (more than 3 months), this can become problematic.
• It's not a bad idea to put stabilizer in gasoline.
• When stopping the winch, let the engine run, close the fuel valve and let it burn;
• Once done, pull on the starter rope to close the valves (until you feel resistance);
• If the exhaust valve is open, air from outside enters the engine, which can cause condensation and rusting of the pistons, which can prevent winch from restarting;
• See the Honda engine manual for more details;
• Tip: When you fill your tank at the pump, it is a good idea to run the first liter in your vehicle, which ensures to empty the gas of the previous customer...
