Safety Rules
Manual Conventions
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.
WARNING
Keep yourself and others a safe distance from
the side of the cable when under tension.
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 specied
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 for extended periods.
WARNING
Never step over a cable or near a cable under
load.
WARNING
The cable 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.
ASP-35
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 cable and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on the
cable. Do not use cable as a pull strap.

Safety Rules
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.
Keep sparks, ames 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.
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 not allowing the
cable to slide through your hands. Do not let
your hands get within 12” of the winch while
re-spooling. Turn off the winch and repeat
the procedure until a few feet of cable is left.
Disconnect the remote control and nish
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
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.
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 release clutch when there is
a load on the winch.
CAUTION
Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the cable.
