Safety Instructions for Electric Winches

1. READ THIS MANUAL: This manual

contains proper operating instructions
for this machine.

2. EYE PROTECTION: Always wear
ANSI approved eye protection when
operating winch.

3. LOOSE CLOTHING: DO NOT wear
loose clothing while operating this
machine. Keep hair, jewelry and
hands away from operating winch.

4. CABLE DAMAGE: Always inspect
any slings or pins and the cable for
frays, loose connections, or damage.
DO NOT use winch if any component
is damaged or if the cable is dam­aged or frayed in any way.

5. CABLE REPLACEMENT: DO NOT
replace the cable with one of lesser
strength. A cable of lesser strength
could snap and whip back, causing
serious personal injury.

6. CABLE BREAKAGE: DO NOT stand
in line with or alongside the cable
while the winch is operating. If the
cable breaks it can whip back and
cause serious personal injury.

7. WINCH LIMITS: DO NOT attempt to
exceed the pulling limits of the winch.
Always leave a minimum of five turns

(1/2 wrap) of cable on the winch at all
times.

8. SAFETY SPOTTER: Use a spotter
to help ensure safety when using the
winch. Be sure the spotter is out of
the way of the vehicle and the cable
before operating the winch.

9. HAND ASSISTANCE: NEVER
attempt to assist the winch by pull­ing on the cable while the winch is
running. This can cause serious per­sonal injury.

10. AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY: Be sure
the battery is in good condition.
Always connect the positive (+/RED)
cable to the positive (+/RED) battery
post first, and then connect the nega­tive (-/BLACK) cable to the vehicle
frame.

11. CABLE PROTECTION: Always pro­tect the cable and any slings from
sharp edges. DO NOT stress the

extreme pulling angles.

12. VEHICLE SAFETY: NEVER acceler­ate or reverse the winching vehicle in
