SAFETY RULES
ENGLISH 100 427
WARNING
Read this manual thoroughly before operating
your winch. Failure to follow instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm –
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
WARNING
Do not exceed the rated capacity.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified
by the vehicle manufacturer.
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
Avoid “shock loads” by using the control
switch intermittently to take up the slack in
the synthetic rope. “Shock loads” can far
exceed the rate capacity for the synthetic
rope and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on
the cable.
DANGER
Never step over a cable or near a cable under
load.
WARNING
The synthetic 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 synthetic rope.
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load
(towing) on the winch cable. This could result
in cable breakage.
3
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.
Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away from
batteries at all times. Wear safety glasses and
protect the eyes at all times. Do not lean over
the batteries during operation.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING
When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the
cable spools in the under-wind position with
the cable entering the drum from the bottom,
not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing
gloves, keep a slight load on the cable while
pushing the remote button to draw in the
cable. Walk toward the winch and do not allow
the cable to slide through your hands. Do not
let your hands get within 12 in. (30 cm) of
the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the
winch and repeat the procedure until a few
feet of cable are left. Disconnect the remote
control and finish spooling by rotating the
drum by hand with the clutch disengaged.
Keep hands clear of the fairlead and drum
while the winch is under power .
WARNING
Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead
lifting.
CAUTION
Use gloves to protect hands when handling
the cable. Never let the cable slide through
your hands.
CAUTION
Duration of winching pulls should be kept as
short as possible.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to
the touch, stop winching immediately and let
it cool down for a few minutes. Do not pull
for more than one minute at or near the rated
load.
CAUTION
If the motor stalls, do not maintain power to
the winch.
Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in
constant duty applications.
CAUTION
Never release the free-spool clutch when
there is a load on the winch.
CAUTION
Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the synthetic rope.
CAUTION
Do not wrap the cable around any object and
hook it back onto itself.
CAUTION
Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle
when on an incline.
