CAUTION
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket over the wire rope
five or six feet from the hook because in the event of a broken cable it
will dampen the force.
For additional protection open the hood/bonnet of the vehicle as
shown.
NOTICE
For pulls over 70% rated line pull, we recommend the use of the snatch/
pulley block to double line the wire rope. This reduces the load on the
winch and the strain on the rope.
Single Line
Double Line
DANGER
Never use your winch for overhead hoisting, lifting of people, moving
people or moving of live animals.
