Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum area and cable when winching.
Never allow anyone to stand near the cable/rope, or in line with the cable behind the winch
while it is under load. If the cable should slip or brake, it can suddenly whip back towards the
winch, causing a hazard to anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching.
DO NOT
leave the controller plugged in when the winch is not in use. Keep the battery
isolation switch off when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
It is highly recommended that the winch be used regularly (around once a month). Simply
power the cable out 15m, freely spool 5m and then power back in. This will keep all
components lubricated and in good working condition so that the winch can be relied on
when needed.
Scheduled maintenance should be performed annually. If you are exposing your winch to
extreme service such as regular river crossing and exceptionally muddy environments,
increased maintenance frequency is recommended.
Contact the agent/distributor from whom you purchased your winch for technical assistance
and repairs.
A comprehensive range of spare parts are available. For further information, please contact
the agent/distributor from whom you purchased your winch.
WARNING!
The safety precautions and instructions discussed in these instructions cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors, which cannot be built into this product, but must be
applied by the operator.
