7.  Stay out of the direct line that the wire rope 

is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it will “whiplash” 
along this line.  Place heavy rag or carpet over wire 
rope span 6 feet from hook to help absorb the force 
released if the wire rope breaks.

  (See Figure A.)

Figure A:  Whiplash Dampening Blanket or Rug

8.  Do not use for lifting or moving people.

9.  Use a spotter to assist you in ensuring that it 

is safe to operate the winch. Make sure the 
spotter is out of the way of the vehicle and 
the wire rope before activating the winch.

10.  Do not use the hand crank, if equipped, 

to “assist” the winch.

11.  Do not use vehicle to pull on the Wire Rope 

and “assist” the winch.

12.  Use as intended only.   

Do not lift items vertically or use 
for aircraft purposes.

13.  Prevent entanglement.  Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewelry, as they can be caught in moving parts. 
Non-skid footwear is recommended. Wear restrictive 
hair covering to contain long hair.

14.  Disconnect battery cables before working 

near the Wire Rope, drum, fairlead or 
load, to prevent accidental starting.

15.  Inspect before every use; do not use if damaged or 

parts loose.  Examine the winch for structural cracks, 

bends, damage, frayed or kinked wire rope, and any 
other conditions that may affect the safe operation 
of the winch.  Do not use the winch even if minor 
damage appears.  A kink permanently weakens the 
wire rope, even after it is straightened out; kinked 
wire rope can fail suddenly and must not be used.

16.  Keep wire rope straight to avoid 

kinking the wire rope. The illustrations below show 
how a kink forms and how to prevent kinking.

a.  This illustration shows a kink about  

to form.  At this point the winch 
should be stopped and the wire 
rope should be straightened out 
to prevent kinking.

b.  This wire rope is  

kinked. It is too 
late  
to reverse the 
damage at this point, the 
wire rope must be discarded.  
It is permanently damaged 
and must not be used.

c.  This is a kinked wire rope that has been 

straightened out.  Even though it has been 

pulled straight, some wires in the wire rope 
are stretched, and others are severely bent, 
if not broken.  The unstretched wires will 
take more load and can fail suddenly before 
the rope reaches its capacity.  This wire 
rope must be discarded and not be used.

A kink permanently weakens the wire rope, 
even after it is straightened out; kinked wire 
rope can fail suddenly and must not be used.

17.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating.  

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

18.  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and 

use common sense when operating.  Do not 
use a winch while you are tired or under the 
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.  A 
moment of inattention while operating winches 
may result in serious personal injury.

19.  Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times.  This enables better control 
of the winch in unexpected situations.

20.  Hook onto the object using a pulling point, 

tow strap or chain. Do not wrap the wire rope 
around the object and hook onto the wire rope 
itself. This can cause damage to the object 
being pulled, and kink or fray the wire rope.

21. 

Do not use a Recovery Strap while 
winching.

  They are designed to stretch 

and can suddenly whip back towards the 
operator during a winching operation.

22.  Secure load after moving.   

NO LOCKING MECHANISM.

23.  Keep at least 5 full turns of wire rope on 

drum.  The wire rope’s connection to the 
drum is not intended to sustain a load, 
without the added support from the friction 
of at least 5 full turns of wire rope.

24.  Wrap wire rope under 500 lb. tension before use.  

Otherwise, wire rope may bind during operation.
