How To Hook Up Lights To A Go Cart

4x4 Driving Techniques - Use the winch (II)

For Hermit
The anchor winch is any object firmly fixed to the ground, a rock, a tree or another vehicle braking well.
But if there is none of the above, we must devise a way to make an anchor.
There is always the possibility of being alone and stuck in a lonely road, so be sure to have the elements to implement at least one of these anchors.

Anchor with stakes. This solution is fairly easy to implement and if it does not steel stakes can cut some timber to make it. Bury is problematic if you do not have a good hammer and dig them up, same story.

Anchor with spare wheel. This solution requires a lot of work because the wheel must be well buried and the angle above, but if there is a better solution be the mood and start digging. The string can be replaced by the ribbon of fire. The trunk can be replaced by a hard object, such as fire extinguisher.

Anchor Logs. It is a variant of the previous logs when available. It is clear that ingenuity can devise more choices, only care that are safe.
worth noting that you have to carry a big shovel to do the excavations. These small camping are not recommended, because it is extremely exhausted or broken.

more professional solution are the anchors Pull Pal, design based on ship anchors.
is the ideal solution for cleaning on any terrain, especially soft.

are designed to dig to pull with the winch. To unearth sufficient to pull in the opposite direction.

In the picture you can see a folding model.
The main objection to the anchors in general, is its size, weight and how hard it is to take in the always crowded 4x4.
But when the time you need them, grateful to have been cautious and have at least some of the solutions described here.

Anchors - Use winch (I)

For
Hermit Image hosting by Photobucket
Winch, also known as winch, winch or capstan, consists of an electric motor (1) connected to the vehicle battery. The motor turns a drum (6) where the cable is rolled steel (3). Some gears multiply the force (5) of the engine. There is a brake (7) and remote (9), which plugs into the control box (8.) Activates the turn or stop the drive drum.
This equipment allows to remove the vehicle from places where it would be impossible to leave on their own.
can also be used to remove trees or objects that obstruct the path.
not be used to lift people.
The winch pulling capacity must be at least one and half times the vehicle weight. Accessories
indispensable for working with the winch

The only sure way to unwind cable drum is hooked to a pulling rope cable hook and pull. Make sure you have removed the brake on the winch.
The same is true when you wrap the cable with no load. So do not catch their fingers with hook.

Find a very firm that serves as an anchor, may be a tree or a stone. Use a tape shot to hook the winch cable. Never use for this purpose because the steel cable will be damaged. If you have time and may, preferably connect the shackle as shown in the picture.

Then with the engine of your vehicle running connect the remote control winch and start winding the cable on the winch drum. Do not forget to lift the hood. If you have to guide the cable when wound, always keep the safe distance of 1 mt. not to pinch your fingers.

One way to increase the carrying capacity of the winch is to use a pulley system, the only downside is that the drift velocity is reduced half.

Image hosting by Photobucket
And if the vehicle is too buried, you use the double pulley, as shown in the picture. Method that multiplies the power of the team, but slows.
Note: If there is an anchor on hand, you can use a couple of volunteer vehicles, respecting that if a way to put the pulleys.

This last image shows the areas of danger in two of the most common shooting conditions. Ask the people who came to retire to a safe distance and then operate the winch.
Remember that a steel cable that can cause serious cuts injury or even kill a human. Top with the cable taut blanket, jacket or any heavy fabric that minimizes the effects of whiplash if you were to cut the cord.
After a few minutes of use, cool the motor of the winch.

M5000 WARN WINCH FEATURES: This is mounted on the Vitara.
Capacity: 2,200 kg (yip weight: 1060 kg)
Motor: 1.7 hp.
Cable: 24 m. x 8 mm.
Weight: 25 kg
The letter "i" in some models refers to the winch solenoid box integrated into the winch at the top, which gives us greater cable capacity and protects against extreme conditions of mud, water or land.
In Chapter II we will see how to do anchors when there are no trees or rocks.
So to buy or get the little things that are missing in order to make efficient use of the winch!

Welcome Baby Letter White House

- As Weld Using

Adapted by Hermit
when hiking or due to a sudden maneuver, the irons are broken and sometimes we are far from a shop where welding power something broken or filled with solder cracks. For these cases there is the emergency welding developed by yiperos batteries.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
But how is it possible to weld with batteries? ... good, considering that an electrode of 3.25 mm need 120 amps for proper welding and a minimum of 24 volts, can be welded with reasonable certainty whether we add 3 batteries connected in series. Work better if you have batteries in top condition or additional winches are used to power or auxiliary lights.
reference, starting a diesel engine needs something like 300 amps, and a winch can draw 400 amps. to operate at full capacity, then the three batteries amperage there enough capacity to weld.
almost no risk of electrocution. But wear gloves and do not stand on a wet spot. If the welding is attached to a vehicle, the better off the battery. Protect sensitive parts and paint from welding sparks.
Be sensible and take all proper safety precautions.
This is what is needed for welding with batteries:
- Various cables to connect the terminals in series (the famous current tap). If not enough, engineer unions, using thick cable that if ( see photos).
- Electrodes: the common arc welding.
- clips to hold the electrode and to make dough in pieces. A good alligator helps a lot to hold the electrode or wiring.
- 3 batteries at least.
- A dark glass solder mask (required) to protect the view of the weld (it is very harmful to the eyes).
- Security : battery cover with the rubber on the floor and away as possible from where we are working to prevent sparks inflammation (batteries emit a flammable gas). Solder for short periods. Cool the batteries after each weld. If it sticks to the electrode and does not want to drop off quickly clip the terminal of the battery.
Given certain characteristics of the parts or situations of the moment, it may be convenient for the welder to the electrode to the ground instead of positive, as seen in the images. This improves the weld penetration (valid for electrodes 6010/6011).

batteries need not be exactly the same type or size. If there are no clips to use what is at hand, but ensuring a good contact.

Image hosting by Photobucket
With two batteries, ie, 24 volts, it can work but will be very difficult to maintain the welding arc, unless it is very good welder. In the picture you can see the available live and direct.

Image hosting by Photobucket
The photo shows a yipero in full reconstruction of a cardan, starting from a water pipe ... original drive shaft broke and twisted into two parts.
As you can see, it works!, So practicing at home and with someone who seoa welding so that output can meet any eventuality.

- Ways to Inflate Tires

by Hermit
When no curing or a service station available, which is common when Travel walks in the mountains or away from dwellings, perhaps these tips to help you inflate the tires to get away more than once.
is your responsibility to evaluate these ideas and implement the safest option for you.
Cases in which a tire is under inflated and need to somehow, are common in 4x4 vehicles, may be necessary to see some air to get to a place to repair it for not having the spare wheel or wheels need to re-inflate after walking in the sand. They can also serve to inflate the camping mattress, toys or boats.
Gauges: The first is to measure air pressure and this is used gauge. Pencil type gauges are cheap, take a pinch, but are not very reliable.

Image hosting by Photobucket
recommend using the digital or those with a clock and are graded on a scale pound for pound.
Keep in mind that the pressure should always be checked with the covers on cold, ie before using the vehicle. If the tire is hot, indicate more extensive air pressure gauge.

Image hosting by Photobucket
Compressors: to inflate a tire the first option is the portable compressors. They are small, are connected to the cigarette lighter (12v). Inflate a tire slowly, but take out of trouble.

Image hosting by Photobucket
trasvasije Hose: a hose long enough and two valves used to release air from the spare wheel or other wheels. A valve connects to the spare tire and the other serves to inflate (different). This option is required to travel with the spare tire inflated beyond what is normal for you to donate without being empty air.

Image hosting by Photobucket
cylinders with compressed air: There yiperos carrying a container full of air (PowerTank), but this option does not recommend it for newbies. If using this
item, be sure to use a certified cylinder with gauge included and never charge more than is prudent.
should be noted that it is quick and good solution, even mounts tires because the flow can be generated.

Image hosting by Photobucket
Aerosol Inflators : They inject a liquid in contact with air it expands, forming foam inside the tire, plugging and filling the tire punctures, without inflating. There can hardly bear to repair the tire warning the mechanic that was inflated with aerosol, and that could be flammable.
There are other solutions, obviously only for extreme cases which is inflated with air from a pneumatic cylinder escape and when this is full, use this air to inflate the tire under. The cons of this approach is that the exhaust air is very stale and mixed with other gases, which could be unsafe to the heating of the tire.
I recommend reading the article "Methods to Fit Tyres" to supplement the information given here.
