the Wired Remote Control to retract the wire rope,
and winch the as desired.
Do not power the hook
all the way into the fairlead to prevent damage.
15. Do not operate the winch at extreme angles.
Do not exceed the angles shown in Figure B for
a roller fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle
should be as close to straight as possible.

CAuTiOn!
Stop the winch and release tension
on the wire rope before moving the whiplash
dampening blanket or winch 2 (sold separately) on it.
18. Do not continue use of the winch until
the battery is completely run down.
19. You may wish to keep the engine running while
using this winch, to continually recharge the battery.
However, exercise extreme caution when
working around a running vehicle and ONLY
operate a vehicle in an outdoor area.
nOTiCE:
Do not use the winch in a
constant duty application, it is designed for
inTERMiTTEnT uSE OnLy. Keep the duration
of the pulling job as short as possible. if the
motor becomes very hot to the touch, stop and
let it cool down for several minutes. Do not pull
for more than one minute at or near the rated
load. Do not maintain power to the Winch if
the motor stalls. Double Line Rigging will help
prevent overloading and should be used whenever
practical, see Double Line Rigging on page 11.
20. When finished pulling the load, reverse the direction
of the winch just enough to release tension on
the Wire Rope so that you can unfasten the
Hook from the load and reel in the Wire Rope.
