aware of vehicle and or load.
• Always be aware of stability of vehicle and load
during winching, keep others away. Alert all bystanders of an unstable condition.
• Always unspool as much winch rope as possible
when rigging. Double line or pick distant anchor point.
• Always take time to use appropriate rigging
techniques for a winch pull.
• Never touch winch rope or hook while someone else
is at the control switch or during winching operation.
• Never engage or disengage clutch if winch is under
load, winch rope is in tension or drum is moving.
• Never touch winch rope or hook while under tension
or under load.
• Always stand clear of winch rope and load and keep

Always require
operators and bystanders to be aware of vehicle and or load.
CAUTION
Never leave remote
control where it can be activated during free spooling, rigging, or when the winch is not being used.
NOTICE
Never submerge winch in water.
SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
The operator should always operate the winch from a safe position when pulling a load. The safe areas are: (1) Perpendicular to the wire rope, (2) Inside the vehicle with the hood up (if winch is mounted on front of vehicle). These safe positions will help prevent the wire rope from striking the operator if the wire rope fails when under load.
Operate winch from the fully extended remote control cord length whenever possible. The operator must always be at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) from the winch while operating. This will prevent entanglement with the fairlead and keep the operator out of harms way during winch load pulling.
Never work around the wire rope while under load.
Sound Emissions
The winch is designed so that the sound emissions do not exceed 70 dBa from the operator’s station. The operator must be at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) from the winch while operating. If the winch is exceeding 70 dBa from the operator’s station, have the winch inspected at an authorized service center.
Cleaning
Do not direct high pressure water (pressure washers, car washes, etc.) between the drum support and drum flange or clutch lever.
Use low pressure water and a soapy rag or sponge to clean the winch.
Avoid using chemicals that may damage the finish.
Thoroughly clean salt residue from the winch as soon as possible to minimize corrosion.
Maintenance
No lubrication is required for the life of the winch unless the winch has been submerged in water. If this occurs, a qualified service center must complete service as soon as possible to prevent corrosion damage. If the control pack is submerged, it must be replaced when the winch is serviced.
Check battery cables and electrical connections at 90 day intervals to be certain they are clean and tight at all connection points.
Inspect the wire rope before and after each winching operation. When damaged, replace with the size specified in the Replacement Parts List, or go to the Warn website at www. warn.com.
The wire rope must always spool onto the drum as indicated by the drum rotation decal on the winch.
Instructions For Wire Rope Installation
Remove the end cap from the drum support and insert the end of the wire rope through the fairlead and through the hole in the drum. Attach the wire rope clamp and pull tight so clamp returns to inside the drum. Secure the winch as stated in the winch mounting instructions.
