SAFETY
Do not attempt to operate the LUG-ALL until you
carefully read the instructions and
recommendations in this manual.
The LUG-ALL must be properly operated and
maintained to avoid risk of property damage or
bodily injury.
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage:
• Do not exceed load rating.
• Inspect LUG-ALL before each use for damage,
malfunction or worn parts.
• Do not operate if hoist is damaged or malfunctioning.
• Inspect hooks (bent, enlarged opening) and latches.
Remove hoist from service until damaged hooks or
latches are replaced.
• Operate only when hook-to-hook pull is in a
straight line.
• Do not use if the cable has kinks, cuts, broken
strands, fraying or abrasions. The cable must be
replaced even though damage to the cable
appears minor.
• The cable must be evenly wrapped around the drum

SHEAR PIN WARNING
In addition to the features found on all LUG-ALL
Winch Hoists, your Model 6000-15 has the
following special features which you should be
aware of.
The handle socket can be moved to either of two
positions. Lifting or pulling and many lowering or
backing off operations can be easily accomplished
with the socket in the standard position parallel to
the edge of the u-frame. To lower or back off
heavy loads, you may want to have the socket in
the other position; this affords, a better leverage
angle, and allows lowering and backing off to be
done more easily. To move the handle socket from
one position to the other, simply remove the socket
cap screw with a 5/16” hex key, slide the socket to
the proper position, and reinsert the screw.
The reversible telescoping handle is aligned in the
handle socket by a pin 5 1/2” from its end and is
fastened in place by tightening the thumb screw
on the socket.
To telescope the handle, loosen the handle locking
nut (right hand thread), slide the smaller tube to
the desired position, and retighten the handle
locking nut by hand. Do not use a wrench.
The shear pin between the handle socket and u-
frame is designed to break if the Winch Hoist is
seriously overloaded. The shearing of the pin will
be readily apparent from the sharp report when it
snaps and the looseness of the socket. While the
Winch Hoist does not become inoperative when
the pin is sheared, an overload condition exists and
the unit should not be used until measures have
been taken to reduce the load. If it is not possible
to reduce the load and the overload condition is
for secure hoist operation. Examine the cable to
ensure it is properly seated in the pulley wheel.
• Do not use to lift people, or loads over people.
• Do not leave an unattended load suspended in
the air.
• Do not lengthen, or make any substitution for the
LUG-ALL reversible handle.
• Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
• Do not use hoist as a load binder.
• Do not snag or pull the cable over edges, as serious
weakening may result.
• Do not use LUG-ALL as a tow line.
• Close latches on hook before using.
• Use only genuine LUG-ALL replacement parts.
