5.
Observe your winch while in operation, if possible while standing at a safe distance. Stop the winching
process every 3 feet or so to assure the cable is not piling up in one corner. Jamming the cable can
break your winch.
6.
Do not attach tow hooks to the winch mounting apparatus. They must be attached to vehicle frame.
7.
The use of a snatch block will aid recovery operations by providing a doubling of the winch capacity
and a halving of the winching speed, and the means to maintain a direct line pull to the center of the
rollers. When double loading during stationary winching, the winch hook should be attached to the
vehicle frame.
8.
Ensure rated “D” or bow shackles are used in conjunction with an approved tree trunk protector to
provide a safe anchor point.
9.
When extending winch cable, ensure that at least FIVE (5) wraps of cable remain on drum at all times.
Failure to do so could result in the cable detaching from the drum under load, causing serious
personal injury or property damage.
10.
All winches are provided with a red cable marking to identify that 5 cable wraps remain on the winch
drum; when this mark appears at the rollers, no recovery should be attempted beyond this marking.
11.
Since the greatest pulling power is achieved on the innermost layer of your winch, it is desirable to pull
off as much line as you can for heavy pulls; however, you must leave 5 wraps minimum on the drum,
to the red cable marking. If this is not practical, use a snatch block and double line arrangement.
12.
Neat, tight spooling avoids cable binding, which is caused when a load is applied and the cable is
pinched. If this happens, alternately power the winch in and out. Do not attempt to work a bound
cable under load; free by hand.
13.
Apply blocks to wheels when vehicle is on an incline.
14.
Battery:
•
Be sure that the battery is in good condition. Avoid contact with battery acid or other contaminants.
•
Always wear eye protection when working around a battery.
•
Have the engine running when using the winch, to avoid depleting the battery.
15.
Winch cable:
•
Be sure that the cable is in good condition and is attached properly.
•
Do not use the winch if cable is frayed.
•
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load.
•
Do not replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength.
•
The life of cable is directly related to the use and care it receives. Following each use, a cable must be
wound onto the drum under a load of at least 500 lbs. (230kg) or the outer wraps will draw into the
inner wraps and severely damage the cable during winching. The first winch use should be a familiar
run while in a relaxed, non-recovery situation. Spool out the cable until the red cable mark appears
(about five wraps on the drum), then rewind the cable onto the drum under a load of 500 lbs. (230kg)
or more. This will slightly tension and stretch the new cable and create a tight cable wrap around the
drum. Failure to do so may result in cable damage and reduced cable life.
•
When the cable is replaced, apply a drop of thread bonder to seal the threads and prevent leakage.
Tighten the clamp screw properly but do not over-tighten. The clamp thread will prevent loosening of
the screw in arduous conditions.
•
When replacing the steel wire rope, be sure to disconnect the winch cable to “+” (positive) of the battery,
and disengage the clutch by move the clutch handle to the “OUT” position.
16.
Do not attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
17.
Do not drive your vehicle to assist the winch. Vehicle movement in combination with winch operation
may overload the cable, the winch itself or cause damaging shock loads.
18.
Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an increased force is suddenly
applied to the cable. A vehicle rolling back on a slack cable may induce a damaging shock load.
19.
The winch shown in this manual is solely for vehicle- and boat-mounted, non-industrial applications.
20.
Do not use winch in hoisting applications due to required hoist safety factors and features.
21.
Do not use the winch to lift, support or otherwise transport people.
