Safety Consequence
The pawl works on a gravity based design which provides the force required to engage the pawl tooth into the sprocket. during the winch tensioning operation the pawl may not always properly lock the winch by positively engaging into the sprocket, thus exposing the operator to potential danger from the winch bar spring back.
