Safety Rules
CAUTION
Rope must be controlled while recoiling to
prevent personal injury or damage.
Device contains a coiled spring under
tension. Do NOT remove nuts securing the
housing.
Do NOT jerk load the rope. Jerk loading
the rope may cause personal injury, death,
or vehicle damage.
Protect rope from sharp edges and
extreme heat. Prior to each use inspect
the rope for cuts, abrasions, or hard
spots. If rope shows signs of wear replace
immediately.
Towing another vehicle will affect how
your vehicle handles and will reduce its
ability to accelerate, make turns, and
other maneuvers.
Prior to attaching to an immovable object
during a winch operation, ensure that the
rigging does not produce a load in excess
of 2,400 lbs for any rope section. Proper
double line rigging will reduce the load of
each rope section. Refer to winch OEM
manual for proper rigging.
