CAUTION!
Winch entanglement hazard. When
using the winch, keep hands clear of
the winch rope to avoid injury.
CAUTION!
Winch entanglement hazard. It is
recommended that the pull angle of the
rope not exceed 25° from the horizontal
axis of the machine. Exceeding that
angle can subject the machine to a
tipping load and tip the machine over.
CAUTION!
The Wood Processor winch is designed to use
synthetic rope. Use synthetic rope as
replacement only. Failure to do so creates an
unsafe work environment and voids warranty.
