Thank you for purchasing a Winch. This manual covers operation and
maintenance of the winch. All information in this publication is based on the latest
production information available at the time of printing.
General Safety Precautions
A Winch is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated
according to the instructions. Read and understand this manual before installation and
operation of winch.
Follow these general safety precautions:
Don't use unsuitable pulleys or accessories.
Don't use unsuitable rope in construction, strength or having any defects.
Check the winch for smooth operation without load before winching operation.
Make sure the wire rope is wound evenly on the first layer on the drum, rewind it if not
evenly wound.
1. The winch is rated for intermittent-periodic duty.
2. The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
3. A minimum of five (5) wraps of rope around the drum are necessary to support the
rated load.
4. When choosing the right winch, you need to consider the vehicle size and weight.
As a general guide, you need a winch with a maximum load rating of at least one and
a half times greater than the gross vehicle weight.
5. The rated line pull of the winch must be powerful enough to overcome the added
resistance caused by whatever the vehicle is stuck in.
