CAUTION - If the motor stalls do not maintain power to the
winch. Electric winches are designed and made of intermittent use
and should not be used in constant duty applications.
CAUTION
- Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a load on the
winch.
CAUTION
- Use hand saver hook when handling the hook for spooling or
un-spooling the wire rope.
GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION
x
The 8000lbs and its all derivative types are rated at 8000 lbs capacity
when spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloads can
damage the winch/motor/ or wire rope. For loads over 6800 lbs. we
recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire
rope line. The will aid in two ways: a) reduce the number or rope
layers on the drum, as well as, b) reduce the load on the wire rope by
as much as 50%. When doubling the line back to the vehicle, attach
to the frame or other load bearing part.
x
The vehicle engine should be kept running during operation of the winch
to minimize battery drain and maximize power and speed of the
winch. If the winch is used for a considerable time with the engine off
the battery may be drained and too weak to restart the engine
x
Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it. We recommend
that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself with rigging
techniques, the sounds your winch makes under various loads, the
way the cable spools on the drum, etc.
x
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each use. A frayed or
damaged rope shall be replaced immediately. Use only
manufacturer’s identical replacement rope with the exact
specifications.
x
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight
before each operation.
x
Never connect the cable back to itself. This will cause cable damage.
Always use a snatch block, sling or chain of suitable strength as
shown in the illustrations.
x
Store the remote control inside your vehicle in a place that it will not be
damaged.
