WARNING
ALWAYS use supplied hand saver cable strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out, during
installation or operation to avoid injury to hands and fingers.
2.1 Spooling in Under Load
WARNING
NEVER exceed winch's rated line pull. Power-in the winch rope evenly and tightly on the drum.
This prevents the outer winch wraps from sinking into the inner wraps, binding and damaging
the winch rope.
NEVER touch winch rope or hook while someone else is at the control switch or during winch-
ing operation.
NOTICE
DO NOT power the hook into the fairlead. This could cause damage to the fairlead.
2.2 Overloading / Overheating
2.3 Stretching the Wire Rope
WARNING
ALWAYS pre-stretch rope and re-spool under load before use. Tightly wound rope reduces
chances of "binding", which can damage the rope.
NEVER operate winch with less than five (5) wraps of wire 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.
2.4 Safe Working Conditions
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER work around the winch rope while under load.
NEVER step over a winch rope while under load.
ALWAYS use caution when working with electricity and remember to verify that no exposed
electrical connections exist before energizing your winch circuit.
