The vehicle engine should be kept running during operation of the winch
to minimize battery drain and maximize power and speed of the
winch. If the winch is used for a considerable time with the engine off
the battery may be drained and too weak to restart the engine
x
Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it. We recommend
that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself with rigging
techniques, the sounds your winch makes under various loads, the
way the cable spools on the drum, etc.
x
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each use. A frayed or
damaged rope shall be replaced immediately. Use only
manufacturer’s identical replacement rope with the exact
specifications.
x
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight
before each operation.
x
Never connect the cable back to itself. This will cause cable damage.
Always use a snatch block, sling or chain of suitable strength as
shown in the illustrations.
x
Store the remote control inside your vehicle in a place that it will not be
damaged.
x
Any winch that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn,
or operates abnormally SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE
UNTIL REPAIRED. It is recommended that the necessary repairs be
made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility.
x
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
x
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be
used.
