SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
WARNING – DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
WARNING – Intermittent use only.
WARNING - Do not use winch in lifting or moving or persons.
WARNING - A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is
necessary for pulling and holding the rated load. The cable clamp is not
designed to hold the load without 5 wraps of cable around the barrel.
WARNING - Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the
cable when under tension.
WARNING – The wire rope may break before the motor stalls. For heavy
loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to reduce
the load on the wire rope.
WARNING -Never step over a cable, or near a cable under load.
WARNING - Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the winch
cable. This could result in cable breakage.
WARNING Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in
use.
WARNING Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock loads” by
using the control switch intermittently to take up the slack in the wire
rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate capacity for the wire rope
and drum.
WARNING- Do not exceeds maximum line pull ratings shown on the
tables.
WARNING-When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the cable spools in
the under-wind position with the cable entering the drum from the
bottom, not the top. To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves,
keep a slight load on the cable while pushing the remote button to draw
in the cable. Walk toward the winch not allowing the cable to slide
through your hands. Do not let your hands get within 12” of the winch
while re-spooling. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until a few
