OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Manual
Stay clear of the winch, the cable and the cable hook. Place a heavy cloth, jacket or blanket over the cable to act as a
damper should the cable break when operating the winch.
When operating the winch, keep the entire area in view.
Never release the free spool clutch while the cable is under load.
Never work around the winch drum or the winch cable while it is under tension.
Unplug the winch switch before working on the winch drum in order to prevent inadvertent operation.
When operating winch, take up slack slowly. Stop winch before cable becomes tight and inspect all winching connec-
tions. Check winch attachment, hook attachment, nylon sling (if required) and load attachment.
Do not pull at an angle. This will cause the wire cable to pile up on one end of the winch. This may jam the winch causing
damage to the cable and/or the winch. Pulling the vehicle at an angle can cause damage to the front suspension and
may cause the vehicle to overturn. When pulling vehicle, pull straight only.
If the vehicle is being used as an anchor to winch a load, it should have the parking brake applied and chocks installed
on all wheels.
Never use the winch to lift people or other overhead loads.
Do not use the winch to secure loads. Use a tie down designed for the job.
Do not apply shock loads to the winch.
Do not attempt to modify or weld the winch.
