WINCH GUIDE
Winch Operation
Read the
Winch Safety Precautions
in the preceding pages before using your winch.
Tip:
Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually need to use it in the
field.
Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and
warnings in this manual.
Each winching situation is unique.
• Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.
• Proceed slowly and deliberately.
• Never hurry or rush during winching.
• Always pay attention to your surroundings.
• You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.
• Always remember that your winch is very powerful.
• There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to deal with. Do not be
afraid to ask others to help when this happens.
1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any signs of
damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use.
Pay particular
attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter) of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has
been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly.
Promptly replace any worn or
damaged cable.
2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.
3. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or
park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place
during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.
