16. Do not operate the winch at extreme angles. Do not exceed the angles shown below for a roller
fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle should be as close to straight as possible.
17. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at
an angle in relation to the winch, use a
pulley (sold separately) and an anchor point
directly in front of the winch, as shown in
the following picture.
18. Discontinue use of the winch if the battery
becomes weak or run down.
19. Always keep the engine running while using this winch to continually recharge the battery. However,
exercise extreme caution when working around a running vehicle and ONLY operate a vehicle in an
outdoor area.
20. When finished pulling the load, reverse the direction of the winch just enough to release tension on
the rope so that you can unfasten the hook from the load and reel in the rope.
Duty Cycle (Duration of Use):
Avoid damage to the winch by not winching for more
than the prescribed duty cycle time.
The Duty Cycle defines the amount of time, within a
15-minute period, during which a winch can operate
at its maximum capacity without overheating.
For example, this winch with a 5% duty cycle at 65%
maximum load must be allowed to rest for at least 14
minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of
continuous operation. Failure to carefully observe
duty cycle limitations can easily over-stress a winch,
causing premature winch failure.
Do not attempt to pull full rated load for more than 20 seconds. Release Power-In switch immediately when
winch drum/rope stops. Allow winch to cool and change rigging as needed before continuing pull.
After Each Use
•
Inspect rope for damage. Replace immediately if damaged.
•
Power winch in to wrap rope on winch drum neatly. Watch rope carefully to make sure rope is
spooled evenly onto the drum to avoid damage to winch structure or mounting plate.
•
Wipe external surfaces of the winch with a clean cloth.
•
Make sure the Remote Control is turned off before stowing. It will automatically go to
standby/off mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
•
Store the Remote Control in a secure location on the vehicle such as the glove box or cargo
container.
⚠
WARNING
Stop the winch and release tension on the rope before moving the cloth or canvas placed on it.
