WARNING
● Apply the parking brake and place the wheel blocks in front of the front
wheels when using the winch with your vehicle parked.
●
Rewind the cable in the direction shown on the winch assembly. Winding
in the opposite direction is dangerous because the brake does not work
and the control switch will rewind the cable on the “OUT” side. This could
result in a dangerous mistake when operating the remote control switch.
● If you are untangling the cable on the drum, pull out the cable by the hook,
then rewind the cable. Do not hold the cable in your hands. However, if
you must hold the cable in your hands, first remove the remote control
from the winch to prevent unexpected activation of the winch.
● As the cable is wound onto the drum, the speed of the drum gets faster. To
avoid injury, take care not to get your hands caught in the winch assembly.
● Make sure to use the hook holder when only approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of
cable remains unwound. To avoid injury while rewinding, do not place your
hand on the cable guide or hold the hook or cable instead of holding the
handle of the hook holder.
● When handling the cable, wear thick gloves, preferably leather. Do not let
the cable slide through your hands, as it may burn them or cause abra-
sions.
● When towing your vehicle using the winch, avoid applying a load suddenly
to the towing cable by rocking the vehicle back and forth, as the hook may
accidentally come off or the cable may break.
●
Do not touch the winch motor surface during and after use of the winch as
it may be hot.
