CAUTION!
Do not use the winch in a
constant duty application, it is designed for
INTERMITTENT USE ONLy. Keep the duration
of the pulling job as short as possible. If the
motor becomes very hot to the touch, stop and
let it cool down for several minutes. Do not pull
for more than one minute at or near the rated
load. Do not maintain power to the Winch if
the motor stalls. Double Line Rigging will help
prevent overloading and should be used whenever
practical, see Double Line Rigging on page 11.
20. When finished pulling the load, reverse the direction
of the winch just enough to release tension on
the Wire Rope so that you can unfasten the
Hook from the load and reel in the Wire Rope.
CAUTION!
Do not power the hook all the
way into the fairlead to prevent damage.
21. Press and hold the on/off button on the Remote
for 3 seconds to turn the Remote off.
The indicator light on the Remote will turn off.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury from
accidental operation, disconnect Positive Battery
Cable from Circuit Breaker after use.
Duty Cycle (Duration of Use)
at least
14 minutes,
15 seconds
of rest
45 seconds winching
Avoid damage to the Winch by not winching
for more than the prescribed duty cycle time.
The Duty Cycle defines the amount of time, within
a 15 minute period, during which a Winch can
operate at its maximum capacity without overheating.
For example, this Winch with a 5% duty cycle at its
maximum load must be allowed to rest for at least
14 minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of
continuous operation. Failure to carefully observe
duty cycle limitations can easily over-stress a
Winch contributing to premature Winch failure.
