Safety Rules
Safety Rules
WARNING
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.
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.
DANGER
Never step over a cable or near a cable under
load.
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load (towing)
on the winch cable. This could result in cable
breakage.
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 wire
rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate
capacity for the wire rope and drum.
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.
Rev 12001-20081120 3
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on the
cable.
