14. Press the Out button to remove tension on the steel cable. Disengage and
remove the hook or terminal tackle.

steel cable. Make sure each wire wrap fits snugly with the next wrap.
16. Disconnect from the power supply once the hook reaches the winch fairlead.
17. Disconnect and store the remote.
WINCHING LIMITATIONS
There are several limitation that can affect the time duration, power consumption
and maximum weight a winch can move. A snatch block will improve the winch's
performance. Make sure to follow all safety and operation instructions from the
snatch block's manufacturer.
POWER
The maximum load the
winch can pull is
diminished with each
additional layer of steel
cable around the winch's
drum. Table 1 shows the
maximum amount of
weight it can pull and the length of cable remaining on the drum.
Whenever possible, remove as much steel cable off the winch to pull with the
maximum power. Keep five wraps of steel cable on the drum at all times to
prevent the steel cable from slipping off.
Use a snatch block to move a heavier load that is
close to the winch. This will double the amount of
line outside the fairlead and increase the winch's
pulling power at close range.
Pull a load at an angle by using a pulley attached to
a structure (Fig. 7). Both must be capable of
withstanding the load.
LINE SPEED
The heavier the load, the longer it will take the winch to move the load to the
desired location. Consult Table 2 to determine how fast the line will be drawn
into the winch.
A snatch block will halve the line speed when pulling the load.
