Operation Instructions
2.1 Spooling in, Under Load
NEVER exceed
winch’s rated line pull. Power-in the winch strap evenly and tightly on the drum.
NEVER touch winch strap or hook while someone else is at the control switch or during winch-
ing operation.
NEVER overload the motor to stall. If the motor stalls, allow it to cool for 15 minutes, to reduce
the chance of motor burnout.
Do not shock load the winch when spooling. Avoid shock loads when spooling by pulsing the control
switch to take up winch strap slack. Shock loads can momentarily far exceed the winch and strap ratings.
2.2 Overloading / Overheating
This winch is rated for intermittent duty. When the motor approaches stall speed, very rapid heat
buildup occurs which may cause motor damage.
