Section I - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont'd)

SAFETY TIPS

Don't  disengage  the  winch  drum 

clutch  while  the  winch  cable  is 

loaded.

Don't  tie  down  the  front  end  of 

your wrecker for recovery work or 

heavy lifts. You are apt to damage 

the truck frame if you do.

Don't  exceed  WORKING  LIMIT 

ratings  of  cable.  Use  breaking 

strength ratings only for selecting 

replacement cable.

Don't get under a raised vehicle or 

load unless it has adequate safety 

blocks in place.
