NOTE
3
ENGLISH 100124
Do not use this winch for lifting or moving
people or animals.
DANGER
Keep yourself and others a safe distance to
the side of the cable when under tension.
DANGER
Never step over a cable or near a cable under
load.
DANGER
Read this manual thoroughly before operating
your winch. Failure to follow instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not exceed the rated capacity.
WARNING
The wire rope may break before the motor
stalls. For heavy loads at or near rated
capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to
reduce the load on the wire rope.
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load
(towing) on the winch cable. This could result
in cable breakage.
WARNING
Do not use the winch to secure or hold a
vehicle for a long period of time. Do not use
the winch to secure a vehicle for transport.
WARNING
Disconnect the remote control and battery
leads when not in use.
WARNING
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified
by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING
Avoid “shock loads” by using the control
switch intermittently to take up the slack in
the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed
the rate capacity for the wire rope and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on
the cable.
WARNING
Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the wire rope.
