10. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS FROM EXTREME ANGLES as this will cause
the metal or synthetic rope to pile up on one end of the drum. This can
jam the metal or synthetic rope of the winch.
Right
Wrong
11. Always operate winch with an unobstructed view of the winching operation.
12. Equipment such as straps, hooks, pulley blocks, etc. should be sized to the
winching task and should be periodically inspected for damage that could
reduce their strength.
13. Never release freespool clutch when there is a load on the winch.
14. NEVER work on or around the winch drum when winch is under load.
15. Always DISCONNECT winch power leads to battery before working in or
around the winch drum so that the winch can not be turned on accidentally.
16. DON'T use the winch to hold loads in place. Use other
means of securing loads such as tie down straps.
17. Only use factory approved switches, remote controls and accessories.
18. DO NOT machine or weld any parts of the winch. Such alterations may
weaken the structural integrity of the winch.
19. DO NOT connect winch to either 11 0V AC house current or 220V .
20. Use CAUTION when pulling or lowering a load up. Keep people, pets, and
property clear of the path of the load.

INSTALLATION
When mounting, check all vehicle and winch parts for
free operation. Be sure that the winch mounting
location does not significantly reduce ground clearance.
(3)
Step (1)
Mount the winch to a firm base. Be sure that your structural support is
strong enough to support the rated pulling forces of the winch.
(Attach Fairlead to the mounting plate with two bolts.)
Step (2)
While mounting attitude is at your discretion, always remember that your
winch is to be operated with the synthetic rope in an underwound
orientation on the wire rope drum. Your winch is designed to ROPE IN and
ROPE OUT in one direction. DO NOT attempt to reverse the operation.
Step (3)
Disconnect the battery leads of the vehicle.
vwarning
Batteries contain gasses which are flammable and
explosive. Wear eye protection during installation and
remove all metal jewelry. Do not lean over battery
while making connections.
Step (4)
