Recovery of Another Vehicle:
• A. Release the winch drum and pull out the necessary length of cable.
• B. Attach the winch hook to the vehicle. Whenever possible, pick an anchor point on the stuck vehicle
that aligns the winch cable to the winching vehicle's centerline as close as possible. This will help the
spooling of the winch cable and reduce the load on the fairlead.
CAUTION: Never attach the winch hook to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo
rack. Vehicle damage may result. Always attach the hook to the strongest available portion of the
vehicle frame or hitch.
• C� Re-engage the winch drum�
• D. Slowly winch in any slack in the winch cable, then damper it.
• E. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle that will propel it in the direction of winching.
• F. Carefully apply winch power and the stuck vehicle's throttle together to free it.
• G. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.
• H. Detach the winch hook, then rewind the cable evenly back onto the drum following the instructions
in this manual�
Winch Cable Care
Always inspect your winch cable before each use for worn or kinked winch cable. Never use a cable that is
damaged. Follow these guidelines for inspection and use:
• A winch cable made of wire rope that is kinked, deformed, or bent is permanently and severely
damaged. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.
