Disconnect battery cables before working near the rope, drum, fairlead or load to prevent
accidental starting.
Keep rope straight to avoid kinking the rope.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating.
Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap, or chain. Do not wrap the rope around the
object and hook onto the rope itself.
Do not use a recovery strap while winching.
Secure the load after moving. Do not lock the mechanism.
Keep at least five (5) full wraps of rope on the winch drum.
Keep clear of the rope, hook, and load while winching. Do not step over the rope or apply
pressure to the rope under tension. The rope might break and cause personal injury.
If the rope begins to get entangled, stop the winch immediately and release the rope using the
switch.
Only winch with the winching vehicle’s transmission placed in neutral. Winching with a vehicle’s
transmission in gear or park may damage the transmission. A vehicle’s transmission is not
designed to handle this type of load.
Do not operate the winch on extreme slopes. Do not exceed 45° from center line of vehicle for a
roller fairlead. For a Hawse fairlead, the angle should be as close to vehicle center line as
possible.
People with pacemakers should consult their physicians before use. Electromagnetic fields near
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or failure.
Remove all obstacles before operation.
Always use supplied hook strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out, during installation, and
during operation.
Always take time to use appropriate rigging techniques for winch pull.
