OPERATION 
 

 

This tool was designed for use with maximum load capacity of 2,500 pounds.

 Under no 

circumstances should it be used to lift a load.  

Do not wrap the strap around the load and hook it back on itself.

 Doing so will cause undue stress to 

be exerted on the strap causing it to malfunction. 

Do not use the entire length of strap.

 Leave at least five full turns of strap on the ratchet at all times. 

Do not lengthen the handle to add additional leverage. 
Suddenly starting or jerking against load may create excess load causing product failure.

 

 
Make sure that the winch is properly bolted to a stable and secure structure that can  
support the weight of the winch and the load being pulled. 
 
Use wheel chocks and the emergency brake in the vehicle before using the winch.  

 

REFER TO THE VEHICLE OR BOAT OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE USE 
 
CONNECTING THE ANCHOR HOOK 

 
Once the anchor point on a load has been identified, attach the Anchor Hook  
(A, Figure 1) making certain  the Safety Latch (B, Figure 1) closes completely.  
Make sure the anchor point and load are within five feet of each other. 
 

CONNECTING THE LOAD HOOK 

 
Attach the Load Hook (A, Figure 1) to the object you wish to move, making certain  
the Safety Latch (B, Figure 1) closes completely. 

Do not loop the strap around the  

object and hook onto itself. 

When enough strap has been dispensed,  

locking the strap in place. 
 
As shown in the ‘Up’ Position (Figure 2), press the Lock Lever down  
to engage the Ratchet and Lock the Winch.  
 
Secure the load once it has been moved to its intended position. To release the 
Hand Winch, move the Lock Lever to the  ‘Up’ position.  
 

MAINTENANCE 

 

 

 
Before and after using this tool, check the strap for damage, including fraying or kinks.

 If fraying or 

kinks are found, replace the strap before using. 

Some chemicals can damage the product.

 Do not use harsh chemicals such as gasoline, carbon 

tetrachloride, paint thinner, etc. to clean this product. 

 

 

 
A qualified repair technician must perform any service or repair.

 Service or maintenance performed 

by unqualified personnel could result in injury. Use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized 
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
