and block wheels to prevent your vehicle from moving.
Important Note for vehicles with automatic transmissions:
If you leave your vehicle in park you risk wedging or
damaging the parking sprag. If you are really in a bind and
have no natural anchor points or other vehicle to anchor
to, you can bury a log or your spare tire deep in the ground
with a Choker Chain attached to create an anchor point.
The same can be done with a large log. This type of anchor
point should be only used if all else fails. Warning: Shock
or snap loads will over load line, hook and winch mount.
Do not use vehicle power or movement to increase force
during winch operation.
Step One:
Plan a safe pull
Review your current situation
and plan for a safe pull.
Determine the most secure
anchor point and determine
ahead of time how you will
secure to this point.
Step Two:
Wear Gloves
and Disengage Clutch
Locate and put on heavy duty
work gloves. Disengage the
clutch on the winch to allow
it to free spool by turning the
clutch lever to “disengage”.
Do Not attach the remote
control to winch at this time.
