1. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR WINCH.
After installing the Winch,
practice using it before the need arises.
NEVER ALLOW PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS PRODUCT
TO OPERATE IT. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHILE WORKING WITH MACHINERY.
2. DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY OF THE WINCH. DO NOT OVERLOAD! DO NOT ATTEMPT
PROLONGED PULLS OF HEAVY LOADS!
Overloads can damage the Winch and/
or the wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions.
FOR LOADS OVER
75% OF THE RATED WINCH CAPACITY,
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A PULLEY
BLOCK (KTA15120 not included) TO
DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE . (Figure
2). This reduces the load on the Winch, the
strain on the wire rope and electrical system.
3.
Never apply a load to your winch with the wire rope fully extended. Keep at least 5 turns on the
winch drum.
4. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHOULD BE RUNNING DURING WINCH OPERATION. If winching is performed
with the engine turned off, the battery may be too weak to restart the engine.
5. DO NOT
operate your vehicle to assist the Winch in pulling the load. The combination of the Winch and
vehicle pulling together could overload the wire rope and the Winch.

Safety Warnings & Cautions (Continued)
FIGURE 3
6. WHEN IN USE, ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE
ROPE, HOOK AND WINCH.
7. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIPMENT
FREQUENTLY. A FRAYED, KINKED OR FLATTENED
WIRE ROPE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY.
Periodically check the Winch
installation to ensure that all bolts are tight.
8. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when handling wire
rope.
DO NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE THROUGH
YOUR GLOVED OR UNGLOVED HANDS. ALWAYS
USE THE HAND-SAVER STRAP when guiding the
wire rope in or out
(Figure 3).
9. NEVER WINCH WITH LESS THAN 5 WRAPS OF
WIRE ROPE AROUND THE WINCH DRUM
since the
wire rope end fastener may NOT withstand
full load.
12.
It is highly recommended to lay a heavy cloth
(such as a blanket or tarp) over the wire rope
when pulling heavy loads (Figure 5) . If a wire
rope failure should occur, the cloth will act as
a damper and help prevent the wire rope from
whipping. If mounted on the front of a vehicle
then raise the hood for further protection.
13. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR LIFTING OR
MOVING PEOPLE!
10. KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT WIRE ROPE AND HOOK WHEN OPERATING WINCH. NEVER STEP OVER
TAUT WIRE ROPE.
11. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE BACK ONTO ITSELF. This will damage the wire rope. Use a KEEPER
WINCH STRAP,
sling, tree saver or other recommended accessory for this type connection
(Figure 4).
