SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
–
Do not
exceed rated capacity shown in this table.
WARNING –
Intermittent use only. Allow winch to cool between uses.
WARNING –
Do not use winch to lift (vertically).
WARNING –
Do not use winch to pull or move people in any way.
WARNING –
NEVER cut, weld, or modify any part of the winch or cable.
WARNING –
A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is
necessary for pulling and holding the rated load.
WARNING –
Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the cable
when it is under tension.
WARNING –
The wire rope may break before the motor stalls. For heavy
loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to reduce the
load on the wire rope.
WARNING –
Never step over a cable, or go near a cable under load.
WARNING –
Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the winch cable.
This could result in cable breakage.
WARNING –
Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use.
WARNING –
Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch intermittently to
take up the slack in the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate
capacity for the wire rope and drum.
WARNING –
Do not exceeds maximum line pull ratings shown on the tables.
WARNING –
When spooling the cable ensure that the cable spools in the
under-wind position with the cable entering the drum from the bottom, not the
top. To spool correctly you should keep a slight load on the cable while pushing
the remote button to draw in the cable. Walk toward the winch not allowing the
