Validating the Pull & Procedure for Success
BEFORE ENGAGING THE WINCH YOU MUST FIRST ESTABLISH:
- IDENTIFY the HARD NUMBER of STATIC WEIGHT of the casualty or load.
-
IDENTIFY the TYPE of RESISTANCE being created.
CAUTION: the type of resistance may have multiple levels.
- IDENTIFY the WEIGHT for EACH TYPE of RESISTANCE being created.
(if more than one type of level of resistance is present.)
- IDENTIFY the RESISTANCE FACTOR for EACH TYPE of RESISTANCE.
- CALCULATE the RESISTANCE to OVERCOME.
