afety Precautions To Guard
Against Possible Injury.....
A. Keep yourself and others a safe distance to
the side of the cable when pulling under
load.
B. Do not step over a cable, or near a cable
under load.
C. Use supplied hook strap when handling
hook for spooling wire rope.
D. Do not use UTV to pull a load on the winch
cable. This could result in cable breakage
and/or winch damage
E. Use a heavy rag or gloves to protect hands
from burrs when handling winch cable.
F. Apply blocks to wheels when UTV is on an
incline.
G. Winch clutch should be disengaged when
winch is not in use and fully engaged when
in use.
H. Modification, alteration, or deviation to the
winch should only be made by
Ramsey Winch Company.
I. Keep the duration of your pulls as short as
possible. If the motor becomes uncomfort-
ably hot to the touch, stop and let it cool for a
few minutes. Do not pull more than one min-
ute at or near the rated load. Do not main-
tain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
Electric winches are for intermittent usage
and should not be used in constant duty
applications.
J. Do not use winch in hoisting applications
due to required hoist safety factors and fea-
tures.
K. Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings
shown in tables. Shock loads must not
exceed these ratings.
L. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep
a slight load on the cable. Do not allow the
cable to slip through your hand and do not
approach the winch too closely. When all
the cable except a few feet is in, stop and
finish spooling in cable by rotating the drum
by hand with clutch disengaged. Always
use hook strap to hold hook when spooling.
