3.
All users must understand the operation of all controls and learn how to
stop the winch quickly in case of emergency.
4.
Keep hands clear of the winch and steel cable when spooling the line in or
out. Hold the cable by the strap. Fingers caught in the hook or fairlead
may be pulled into the mechanism and crushed or pinched.
5.
Make sure the winch is fixed to a solid support structure that can
withstand the towing capacity.
6.
Never fully extend the cable while under load.
7.
Do not exceed the winch load capacity (see Specifications).
a.
Do not use the winch if damaged or it was subjected to a dynamic
shock load. Have the winch inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician.
8.
Always use proper couplings when connecting the winch cable hook,
sling, eyebolt or other accessory to the load. Never connect the hook back
to the cable. This causes cable damage. Always use a sling or chain of
suitable strength.
9.
Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the winch
cable.
10. Do not lift items vertically. The winch was designed for horizontal use
only.
11.
Do not pull the steel cable around or over corners.
12. Stay well away from the winch, steel cable and load when under tension.
A cable that breaks under tension can whiplash and inflict death or a
serious injury.
a.
Use a winch rope dampener to absorb the cable' s energy should it
break.
13. Secure the load after moving it with the winch. Do not rely on the winch
to hold a load in position for an extended period of time. Never leave the
load unattended.
14. Apply blocks to a vehicle while connecting and disconnecting the winch
cable.
15. Observe the spooling of the cable onto the drum. Side pulls can cause the
cable to pileup at one end of the drum. To correct uneven stacking, spool
out that section of cable and move it to the other end of the drum and
continue winching. Uneven spooling causing cable pileup can interfere
with the winch tie rods causing damage to the winch.
