When operating winch, take up slack slowly. Stop winch before cable becomes tight and inspect all
winching connections. Check winch attachment, hook attachment nylon sling (if required) and load
attachment.
Do not pull at an angle. This will cause the wire cable to pile up on one end of the winch. This may
jam the winch causing damage to the cable and/or the winch. Pulling the vehicle at an angle can
cause damage to the front suspension and may cause the vehicle to overturn. When pulling
vehicle, pull straight only.
Do Not Pull at Angle
If the vehicle is being used as an anchor to winch a load, it should have the park brake set and
chocks installed on all wheels.
Never use the winch to lift people or other overhead loads.
Do not use the winch to secure loads. Use a tie down designed for the job.
Do not apply shock loads to the winch.
Do not attempt to modify or weld the winch.
