Always examine the Winch for structural cracks, bends, damage, frayed Cable, 9.
and any other condition that may affect the safe operation of the tool. Do not
use the Winch even if minor damage appears.
Always keep hands and fingers away from the Gears, Drum, Cable, and all other 10.
moving parts when applying or releasing a load. Remain clear of the Cable when
pulling a load. Do not stand in line with the Cable, as it can whip violently should
it break. Do not cross over or under the Cable when the Winch is under a load.
People and animals should be kept at a safe distance when using the Winch.
Use extreme caution when applying or releasing a load. 11. Never allow the load
to suddenly release. Slowly and carefully apply and release the load.
Never winch a vehicle, trailer, boat, or other object with anyone in or on the 12.
object being pulled. Use a “spotter” to assist you in assuring that it is safe to
operate the Winch. Make sure the spotter is out of the way of the Cable and object
being pulled before activating the Winch.
This Winch is designed for mounting on square or rectangular surfaces only. 13.
Do not attempt to mount the Winch on a rounded surface.
This Winch 14. is not designed to accommodate ropes or fiberglass straps. Do
not replace the original Cable with a Cable of lesser strength. Refer to the “Product
Specifications” section in this manual for the proper replacement Cable.
Always leave at least 15. five turns of the Cable on the Drum to prevent pulling
the Cable completely out of the Winch.
The Cable must be pulled straight in. 16. Keep the load in line with the Winch. Pulling
at an angle (off to the side) may cause excessive stress on the Winch.
This Winch 17. is not designed for use in aircraft applications.
Never lift objects vertically with the Winch. 18. This Winch is designed for horizontal
use only.
Make sure the input voltage to the Winch is 12 volt DC. 19. Do not attempt to use
any other electrical power source.
Do not move the vehicle to assist the Winch in pulling a load. 20. The combination
of the Winch and vehicle pulling together can overload the Winch and the Cable.
When using the Winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral, 21.
set the emergency brake, and chock all the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle
engine should be running during the winch operation. If considerable winching is
performed with the vehicle engine shut off, the vehicle battery may be too weak to
assist winching and to restart the engine.
