OPERATION PRECAUTIONS  
1. Do not exceed load capacity. Be aware  
of dynamic loading! Sudden load  
movement may briefly create excess  
load causing product failure.  
12. Inspect before every use; do not use if  
damaged or if parts are loose. Examine  
the winch for structural cracks, bends,  
damage, frayed wire rope, and any

other condition that may affect the safe  
operation of the winch. Do not use the  
winch even if minor damage appears.  
3. Do not disengage clutch under load.  
Engage clutch before starting.  
13. Keep children and bystanders away  
while operating. Distractions can cause  
you to lose control.  
4. Keep clear of Fairlead when operating.  
Do not try to guide wire rope.  
5. Place heavy rag or carpet  
(not included) over wire  
rope span 6 feet from  
hook to help absorb  
14. Stay alert, watch what you are doing  
and use common sense when operating.  
Do not use a winch while you are tired  
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol  
or medication. A moment of inattention  
while operating winches may result in  
serious personal injury.  
the force released if  
the wire rope breaks.  
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. This enables  
better control of the winch in unexpected  
situations.  
6. Stay out of the direct line that the wire  
rope is pulling. In case it slips or breaks,  
it will “whiplash” along this line.  
16. People with pacemakers should  
consult their physician(s) before use.  
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity  
to heart pacemaker could cause  
pacemaker interference or pacemaker  
failure.  
7. Do not winch a boat or other object with  
anyone in or on it.  
8. Use a spotter to assist you in assuring  
that it is safe to operate the winch.  
Make sure the spotter is out of the way  
of the vehicle and the wire rope before  
activating the winch.  
17. Do not power the hook all the way into  
the fairlead or winch.  
9. Do not use the hand crank, if equipped,  
to “assist” the winch.
