APPLICATION INFORMATION
This winch is designed to move a load at ground level or up
an incline. It is neither designed nor intended for hoisting.
This winch is not to be used to lift or move people.
This winch is for intermittent use due to heat build up characteristics of
various components.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Operator must be alert. Do not operate the winch under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
2. The best way to get acquainted with how the winch operates is to make
practice runs before you need it in an emergency situation.
Never connect DC powered winches to AC current.

Stand clear of wire rope and load during
WARNING
!
winching. Keep helpers and spectators at
a safe distance. If a wire rope pulls loose or breaks under load,
it can lash back with dangerous force.
3. Beware of the danger zone. The danger zone is the area of the rotating
wire rope drum, the fairlead (if fitted), the wire rope, the hook, and motor
(see Fig. 1). First relieve tension on load then disconnect the control switch
before putting hands in or around the danger zone. Disconnect power leads
to battery before working in or around drum.

4. It is recommended that if you are within four feet of the winch, do not
hold the wire rope and the remote (if equipped) at the same time.
5. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED SWITCHES, REMOTE CONTROLS AND
ACCESSORIES. Use of non-factory approved components may cause injury or
property damage and could void your warranty.
