Note:
If a winch is to be used to pull a vehicle,
it should optimally be rated to a single line
pull at least twice the vehicle’s weight.

if the Synthetic Rope is frayed or has cut strands.
2. Fully charge the vehicle’s battery.
3. Check the Winch’s electrical connections.
All connections must be tight and clean.
4. Put the vehicle’s transmission in Neutral.
5. If the vehicle where the Winch is mounted
is not supposed to be moved, engage the
emergency brake and block the wheels
using wheel chocks (sold separately).

Clutch Knob to the Released position
–
see
instructions for your Winch model under the
Clutch Operation
section. Slide the loop of the
Hook Strap over the Hook, then pull on the Hook
Strap to pull out the Synthetic Rope.
