1-800-348-5004
Check all safety and environmental conditions prior and during use.
The winches duty rating is S3 (intermittent – periodic)
Ensure that the winch is connected to the correct voltage of 12VDC only.
Check that the freespool shifter is in the “Engaged” position during and after use.
Remove the remote control from the winch when not in use.
Keep hands and clothes away from the winch, wire rope, and fairlead during operation.
Never unplug the remote control and battery leads when winching a load.
Before use, ensure that you are familiar with all winching performance and operation
such as speed & direction.
A wire rope should be replaced if it shows signs of excessive wear, broken wires,
corrosion or any other defects.
The winch is rated for intermittent-periodic duty.
Never operate the winch under water.
The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
A minimum of five (5) wraps of rope around the drum are necessary to support the
rated load.
Operate the winch cable in and cable out at no load after a winch was ingressed
by water.
The rated line pull of the winch must be powerful enough to overcome the added
resistance caused by whatever the vehicle is stuck in.
If the winch fails to pull a load under normal conditions, stop the operation within
30 seconds otherwise motor damage may occur.
Do not wrap the wire rope around the load and back onto it self. Always use a strap
to ensure that the wire rope does not fray or kink.
To avoid insufficient power when winching a load, the vehicle should be running and
in neutral.
When winching a heavy load, lay a heavy blanket or jacket over the wire rope near to
the hook end
If excessive noise or vibration occurs when running, stop the winch immediately and
return it for repair.
