CUT AND BURN HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to minor or moderate injury.
To avoid injury to hands and fingers:
• Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling a rope.
• Never let rope slip through your hands.
• Always be aware of possible hot surface at winch motor, drum or rope during
or after winch use.
AVOID WINCH AND EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE
• Always avoid side pulls which can pile up rope at one end of the drum. This
can damage rope or winch.
• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged.
• Never use winch to tow other vehicles or objects. Shock loads can
momentarily exceed capacity of rope and winch.
• Always avoid “powering out” for extended distances. This causes excess heat
and wear on the winch motor and brake.
• Always use care to not damage the vehicle frame when anchoring to a
vehicle during a winching operation.
• Never “jog” rope under load. Shock loads can momentarily exceed capacity of
rope and winch.
• Never use winch to secure a load during transport.
• Never submerge winch in water.
• Always store the remote control in a protected, clean, dry area.
• Always double line or pick distant anchor point when rigging. This maximizes
pulling power and avoids overloading the winch.
