GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Safety Informational callouts used in this manual include the following:
25. Deadman controls, which automatically shut off power
to the winch whenever the operator leaves his station
or releases the winch control lever, should be installed
whenever practical.
26. Never allow anyone to position any part of body under a
suspended load.

free. This type of operation may cause heavy loads, in
excess of rated capacity, which may result in failure of
rope, winch, or vehicle structure.
28. Whenever possible, install the winch in a location that is
not immediately adjacent to a normal operator’s station.
