SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never lift people or lift loads over people.
2. Do not lift loads vertically, the winch was designed for horizontal use only.
3. Do not overload the winch.
For loads over the specified maximum, use a more powerful model.
5. Never winch wire with less than 5 turns of wire rope around the winch drum.
The rope fastener may not be able to
withstand the full load.
6. Avoid continuously pulling from extreme angles.
This will cause the rope to pile up on one end of the drum, which
could jam the winch and cause damage to the winch or the rope.
7. Be sure to correctly attach the winch before starting to recall the rope.
8. When moving a load, slowly wing the rope until it becomes taut, then stop and check that the rope is correctly
winding before proceeding further.
9. It is recommended to lay a heavy blanket over the cable near the hook end when pulling heavy loads.
If a cable
fails and snaps, the cloth will help prevent the cable from whipping out of control.
10. Do not move the winch to assist it in pulling the load.
The combination of the winch moving and the cable being
pulled together could overload the cable and the winch.
11. Never work on/around the winch drum while the rope is being recalled. Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing and
jewelry away from the drum at all times.
Stay clear of ropes, hooks and the winch. Do not let the rope slide through
your fingers while being recalled.
12. Do not let anyone cross over or under the rope while the winch is being used.
13. Never release the rope while it is under load.
14. After you have finished operating the winch, release the load and recall the remaining rope.
15. Inspect the rope before each use to make sure it is not frayed or broken.
16. Use caution when pulling or lowering a load up and down a ramp or incline.
Keep the path clear and do not let
anyone stand beneath the load being pulled, they could get seriously hurt if the cable should break or the load should
slip.
INSTALLATION
Mount the winch properly, make sure the cable does not have to go over the drum to reach the load you wish
to pull.
OPERATION
1. Once installed firmly, grab and pull the cable to the desired load, then attach to the item being pulled.
Note:
Make sure that there are at least five turns of rope on the drum before operation.

3. Recall all of the remaining cable after you have finished using the winch.
MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check to make sure the winch is properly installed on it's surface.
2. Check the cable to make sure it is not dirty, frayed or damaged.
REPLACING THE ROPE
1. Always replace a cable with one that is identical in diameter and load limit.
2. Unwind the rope from the drum, then remove completely and dispose of it accordingly.
3. Insert the new cable on the drum. Make sure to insert it in the correct manner secure it tightly.
