El cabrestante está indicado para un servicio intermitente. No se debe poner en funcionamiento con el motor reducido a bajas RPM. Cuando el motor se aproxima a la velocidad crítica, se genera calor muy rápidamente, lo que puede ocasionar daños al motor. La sobrecarga o el sobrecalentamiento pueden provocar que salte el cortacircuito de la máquina. Podrá apreciarse que un cortacircuitos ha saltado cuando se vea que la porción central sobresale del cuerpo principal. Para restablecer el cortacircuitos, deje que se enfríe el motor y pulse la porción central para devolverla a su posición normal en el cuerpo del cortacircuitos. Reduzca el tiempo de funcionamiento y deje que haya un mayor tiempo de enfriamiento si esto ocurre. Si el cortacircuitos salta después de haber dejado que se enfríe el cabrestante, llame a un centro de servicio autorizado.
