7 Securing runners
A runner used in loading or unloading must be attached to the winch drum:
(a)
so that no part of the runner is damaged; and
(b)
by means other than fibre rope.
Note 1 The method used to secure a runner to a winch should be by shackle or clamp-type socket, any of which should provide a strength equivalent to 50% of that of the runner.
Note 2 The number of complete turns remaining on the drum of the winch if the complete working length of rope has been paid out should not be less than:
(a)
for an ungrooved drum - 3; and
(b)
for a grooved drum - 2.
