Caution: avoid damaging the vehicle transmission. Do not have the transmission in Park
or in any gear. set the emergency brake and place wheel chocks.
Caution: injury or death could occur if this winch comes apart from its mounting location
when it is under load. For that reason, it should only be installed by a qualified
technician.
5. when standing aside of the tow path, press (and hold) the in push-button on the remote control
assembly to pull the load.
The operator and all spectators should be clear of the winch and the object
being pulled. Press (and hold) the OUT push-button to release the load. Wait until the motor stops before
reversing directions.
6. when the towing is complete, secure the load so it cannot move in either directions, then remove
the remote control assembly from the solenoid assembly box.
Caution: the electric winch is designed for intermittent use only, and should not be used
in a continuous duty application. the duration of the pulling job should be kept
as short as possible. if the winch motor becomes very hot to the touch, stop
the winch and let it cool down for several minutes. never pull for more than one
minute at or near the rated load. Do not maintain power to the winch if the motor
stalls as it can damage the motor or gears.
