WARNING
WARNING
– DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
WARNING
– Intermittent use only.
WARNING - Do not use winch in lifting or moving or persons.
WARNING-Disconnect the remote control and battery leads
when not in use.
WARNING-
Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock
loads” by using the control switch intermittently to take up the
slack in the strap
. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate
capacity for the strap and drum.
WARNING- Do not exceeds maximum line pull ratings shown
on the tables.
Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead lifting.
Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
CAUTION
- If the motor stalls do not maintain power to the
winch. Electric winches are designed and made of intermittent
use and should not be used in constant duty applications.
CAUTION
- Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a load on
the winch.
GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION
•
The vehicle engine should be kept running during operation of the
winch to minimize battery drain and maximize power and speed of
the winch. If the winch is used for a considerable time with the
engine off the battery may be drained and too weak to restart the
engine
•
Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it. We
recommend that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself
with rigging techniques, the sounds your winch makes under
various loads, the way the strap spools on the drum, etc.
