the ground and tractor are stable enough to pull
the intended load.
• Do not attempt to pull loads in excess of the rated
capacity of the winch.

• Be aware of the hazards of pressurized hydraulics:
» Wear personal protective equipment, such as
gloves and safety glasses, whenever servicing
or checking a hydraulic system.
» Assume that all hydraulic hoses and components
are pressurized. Relieve all hydraulic pressure
before disconnecting any hydraulic line.
» Never try to stop or check for a hydraulic leak
with any part of your body; use a piece of
cardboard to check for hydraulic leaks.

dangerous, and can inject hydraulic oil under
the skin, even through gloves.
» Infection and gangrene are possible when
hydraulic oil penetrates the skin. See a doctor
immediately to prevent loss of limb or death.
