GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warnings and Cautions

As you read these instructions, you will see WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, NOTICES and NOTES. Each message has a specifi c

General Safety:
• Always Know Your Winch. Take time to fully read the
Instructions and/or Operations Guide, and/or Basic Guide to
Winching Techniques, in order to understand your winch and
its operations, found online at http://www.warn.com/
corporate/literaturerequest.shtml.
• Never exceed winch or winch rope rated capacity.
Double line using a snatch block to reduce winch load.
• Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling
winch rope.
• 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.
Installation Safety:
• Always choose a mounting location that is suffi ciently
strong to withstand the maximum pulling capacity of
your winch.
• Always use class 8.8 metric (grade 5) or better
hardware.
• Never weld mounting bolts.
• Always use factory approved mounting hardware,
components, and accessories.
Never use bolts that are too long.
•
• Always confi rm required bolt length to ensure proper
thread engagement.
• Always complete the winch installation and hook
attachment before installing the wiring.
• 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 prestretch rope and respool under load before
use. Tightly wound rope reduces chances of "binding",
which can damage the rope.
