- If the snatch block has been used with steel cable, do not use it with synthetic fibre rope afterwards. Steel cable can mark or damage the sheave surface, which may then damage synthetic rope.
- Always inspect the block, hook, sheave and rope before use.
- Wear suitable gloves when handling winch gear.
- Use only rated connection points and hardware.
- Do not exceed the 4 tonne WLL for lifting.
- Do not exceed the 8 tonne maximum pulling capacity for winching or pulling applications.
