15. 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 illustration below, to
keep the wire rope pulled straight.
16. Do not continue to use the winch until the battery is drained.
17. When possible, keep the engine running while using this winch, to continually recharge the
battery and prevent the battery from being drained so much that the vehicle cannot start.
Exercise extreme caution when working around a running vehicle and ONLY operate a vehicle in
an outdoor area
⚠
CAUTION
Do not use the winch in a constant duty application
– it is designed for INTERMITTENT USE ONLY.
Keep the duration of the pulling job a short as possible. If the motor becomes very hot to touch, stop
and let it cool down for several minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load.
Do not maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls. Double line rigging will help prevent overloading
and should be used whenever practical.
18. When finished pulling the load, release the tension on the wire rope, unfasten the hook from the
load, and reel in the wire rope.
19. To prevent accidents, disconnect the power supply and the remote control after use. Clean, then
secure and cover the winch when not in use. If the wire rope gets wet, dry it and then apply light
oil right after use.
