are accurate. If the drum is turning and collecting more cable, then reverse the
leads on the motor. Repeat and check rotation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
– DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
WARNING
– Intermittent use only.
WARNING - Do not use winch for lifting or moving people.
WARNING - A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is
necessary for pulling and holding the rated load. The cable clamp is not
designed to hold the load without the 5 wraps of cable around the barrel.
WARNING - Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the
cable when 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 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- Do not exceed
maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock loads” by
using the control switch intermittently to take up the slack in the wire rope.
“Shock loads” can far exceed the rated capacity for the wire rope and drum.
WARNING- Do not exceeds maximum line pull ratings shown on the tables.
WARNING-When re-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 re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves, keep a slight load
on the cable while pushing the remote control button to draw in the cable.
Walk toward the winch not allowing the cable to slide through your hands.
Do not let your hands get within 12
″(30cm)
of the winch while re-spooling.
