SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS
!WARNING!
Do not Exceed Rated Capacity.
Intermittent use only.
Do not use winch in lifting or moving persons.
A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is necessary for pulling and holding the
rated load. The cable clamp is not designed to hold the load without 5 wraps of cable around the
barrel.
Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the cable when under tension.
The wire rope may break before the motor stalls. For heavy loads at our near rated capacity, use a
pulley/snatch block to reduce the load on the wire rope.
Never step over a cable or near a cable under load.
Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the winch cable. This could result in cable
breakage.
Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use.
Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch intermittently to
take up the slack in the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate capacity for the wire rope
and drum.
Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in the tables.
Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead lifting.
