The TWG Pullmaster H25 is a high performance, high efficiency planetary winch with a 'Rapid Reverse' feature which provides for reversing or lowering line speeds 4.67 times fastr than forwarding or hoisting line speeds. The automatic, multi disc brake of this unit is effective in one direction only and achieves exceptionally smooth lowering of a load. The maximum load can be smoothly and positively controlled at a minimum line speed of 40 fpm (bare drum) and should not be lowered with speed exceeding the forward or hoisting line speed. Only loads, reduced by a ratio of 4.67 of the maximum capacity of the winch, can be safely lowered at maximum reversing speed. 

For safety, 5 wraps of wire rope must be maintained at all times. 

PullMaster products are not to be used to lift, hoist or move people. If your task involves lifting or moving people, you MUST use the proper equipment; not a PullMaster product. Wire rope anchors on winches are not designed to hold the rated load of the winch. You must keep at least five (5) wraps of wire rope on the drum to insure the wire rope doesn't come loose. Stay clear of suspended loads and of wire rope under tension. A broken wire rope or dropped load can cause serious injury or death. Make sure that all equipment, including the winch and wire rope, is maintained properly. Avoid shock loads. This type of load imposes a strain on a winch many times the actual weight of the load and can cause failure of the wire rope or of the winch. Winch operators must be trained in the proper, safe operations of the winch. The hydraulic system should use only high quality hydraulic oils from reputable suppliers. These oils should contain additives to prevent foaming and oxidation in the system. All winch systems should be equipped with a return line filter capable of filtering 10-micron particles from the system. Please contact OneHydraulics if you need assistance with fluid selection.
