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.
WARNING
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.
4. Always use the hook strap when handling
the hook.
