13. Operate the pendant controls briefly to ensure they work properly. If operation is reversed, the
power cables may be connected backwards. Correct any such issue before use.
14. When it is safe to do so, use the power switch on the pendant controller to retract the wire rope,
and winch the item 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 below for a roller
fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle should be as close to straight as possible.
16. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at an angle in relation to the winch, use a pulley (sold
separately) and an anchor point directly in front of the winch, as shown in the following picture, to
keep the wire rope pull straight.
⚠
WARNING
Stop the winch and release tension on the wire rope before moving the rag or carpet placed on it.
17. Do not continue use of the winch until the battery is completely run down.
18. 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.
19. 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.
