IMPORTANT: Load indicator lights will let you know approximately how much load is on your winch based on the
chart above. Maximum pulling power is only achieved when pulling from the first layer of rope on the drum. Avoid
continuous winching at high load and always check motor temperature frequently. If motor is too hot to touch , allow
to cool before you continue your recovery. It is recommended to re-access your recovery and consider the use of a
snatch block when recovery exceeds full load and/or when red over load lights begin to light up.
