WARNING
If using a driver bit accessory, make sure to insert bit straight into
your drill’s chuck jaws. Do not insert bit into chuck jaws off center.
This could cause bit to be thrown from drill, resulting in possible personal injury
or damage to the chuck.
Step 3: SPOOL OUT WINCH ROPE.
Freespooling is generally the quickest and easiest way to spool out winch rope.
Always keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop, hook and fair-
lead opening during installation, operation, and when spooling in
or out.
Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged.
Never operate winch with less than 5 wraps of rope around the
drum. Rope could come loose from the drum, as the rope attach-
ment to the drum is not designed to hold a load.
(1) Pull out the knob and turn it clockwise to freewheel, the clutch is disengaged.
(2) While always keeping tension on the winch rope spool enough winch rope for the winch-
ing operation.
Spooling alone:
Attach the rope hook with hook strap to load and walk the winch away
from load point.
Spooling with an assistant:
Have the person handling the rope hold the hook strap and
walk the winch rope away from the winch while spooling out the winch rope.
Step 4: DETERMINE ANCHOR POINT AND SECURE.
Always be certain anchor will withstand load, use appropriate rig-
ging and take time to rig correctly.
(1) Choose an anchor point that is sufficiently strong enough to withstand the maximum
winching capacity of your winch.
