- Inspect the wire rope and equipment frequently. A frayed rope with broken strands should
be replaced immediately. Always replace the rope with identical original replacement part.
Periodically check the winch installation to ensure that all bolts are tight.
- Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand the load, and the strap or chain will
not slip. Never apply load to hook tip or latch. Attach hook to load bearing parts.
- The vehicle engine should be running during winch operation. If considerable winching is
performed with the engine turned off, the battery may become too weak to re-start the
engine.
- Do not attach the wire rope to the hook by wrapping it around the hook again. Never use
a hook whose throat opening has increased, or whose tip is bent or twisted.
- Never hook the wire rope back onto itself because it could damage the rope. Use a nylon
sling. Place a heavy cloth etc. on the rope. If a rope failure should occur, the cloth will act
as a damper.
- Maximum working load capacity is on the first layer closest to the drum. Do not overload.
Do not attempt prolonged pulls at heavy loads. Overloads can damage the winch and/or
the wire rope and create unsafe operating conditions.
- Do not move 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 winch. Never winch
with less than 6 turns of wire rope around the winch drum since the cable fastener will not
withstand a load.
- Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles as this will cause the wire rope to pile up at
one end of the drum. This can jamb the rope in the winch, causing damage to the winch or
the rope.
- When using a winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral, set the
vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels. Always use extreme caution when handling
hook and wire rope during spooling. When moving a load, slowly take up the rope slack
