The winch is rated for intermittent-periodic duty.
The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
A minimum of five (5) wraps of rope around the drum are necessary to support the rated load.
The rated line pull of the winch must be powerful enough to overcome the added resistance caused by
whatever the vehicle is stuck in.
Never operate the winch under water.
Operate the winch cable in and cable out at no load after a winch was ingressed by water.
