Failure to observe these instructions could lead to
serious injury or death.
General Safety:
• Always Know Your Winch. Take time to fully read the
Operations Guide in order to understand your winch
and its operations.
• Always read and understand your drill/driver
operator's manual and instructions.
• Never exceed winch or winch rope rated capacity.
• Always wear heavy gloves when handling winch rope.
• Always remove jewelry and wear eye and ear
protection.
• Never use winch or winch rope for towing. Shock
loads can damage, overload and break rope.
• Never use a winch to secure a load.
• Never operate this winch when under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Never operate this winch if you are under 16 years of
age.
• Never operate winch without reading or
understanding the operator's manual.
Installation Safety:
• Always keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop,
hook and fairlead opening during installation,
operation, and when spooling in or out.
• Always position fairlead with warning readily visible
on top.
• Always respool under load before each use. Tightly
wound rope reduces chances of "binding", which can
damage the rope.

Winching Safety:
• Always inspect winch rope, hook, and slings before
operating winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged winch
rope must be replaced immediately. Damaged
components must be replaced before operation. Protect
parts from damage.
• Never use product if winch rope is damaged.
• Always remove any element or obstacle that may
interfere with safe operation of the winch.
• Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand
the load and the strap or chain will not slip.
• Always use supplied hook strap whenever spooling
winch rope in or out, during installation and during
operation.
• Never use "bungie" straps that develop tremendous and
potentially dangerous amounts of force when stretched.
• Always require operators and bystanders to be aware of
rope and load
• Always be aware of stability of load during pulling/
lifting. Keep others away. Alert all bystanders of an
unstable condition.
• Always unspool as much winch rope as possible when
rigging. Pick a distant anchor point.
• Always take time to use appropriate rigging techniques
for a winch pull.
• Never touch winch rope or hook while someone else is
at the control switch or during winching operation.
• Never engage or disengage clutch if winch is under
load, winch rope is in tension or drum is moving.
• Never touch winch rope or hook while under tension or
under load.
• Always stand clear of winch rope and load and keep
others away while winching.
• Never use the winch's rope to tow a vehicle or object.
Impact loading during towing can exceed rope strength.
• Never wrap winch rope back onto itself. Use a choker
chain or tree trunk protector on the anchor.

WARNING
FALLING OR CRUSHING HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to
serious injury or death.
• Always stand clear of winch rope and load and keep
others away while winching.
• Never operate winch with less than 5 wraps of rope
around the drum. Rope could come loose from the
drum, as the rope attachment to the drum is not
designed to hold a load.
• Always keep winch and winching load in sight during
winching operation.
• Never use as a hoist.
• Never use winch to secure a load.
• Always be certain anchor will withstand load, use
appropriate rigging and take time to rig correctly.
• Never use winch to lift or move persons.
• Never shock load rope. Shock loading can damage,
overload and break rope.
• Always wind the winch rope on top of drum.
• Never wind rope from bottom of drum.
• Always spool the winch rope onto the drum in the
direction specifi ed by the drum rotation labels on the
winch and in the documentation.
• Always remove any element or obstacle that may
interfere with safe operation of the winch.
• Always tightly wind rope onto drum after each
use. During spooling in or out, rope direction can
unexpectedly switch if rope is bound in layers on
drum. Tightly wound rope reduces chance of binding.
