SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
l Never lift people or hoist loads over people. Do not lift items vertically, this winch
is designed for horizontal use only.
l Never overload. Be sure all equipment used meets the winch’s maximum line pull
rating. When double-lining, pulley blocks should be rated for a minimum of two
times the winch’s line pull rating.
l Do not attempt prolonged pulls with heavy loads. The electric winch is designed
for intermittent use only, and should not be used in a constant duty application.
Never pull for more than one minute or exceed the rated load. If the winch motor
becomes hot to the touch, stop the winch and allow it to cool down for several
minutes.
l Never operate winch with less than 5 turns of cable around the winch drum since
the cable end may not withstand full load.
l Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles because this will cause the cable to
gather on one end of the drum and damage the cable. Be aware that the winch’s
line pull capacity is the max line pull of the first layer. Never operate winch pulling
a load that exceeds the rated capacity.
l Never hook the cable back to itself because it could damage the cable.
l Be sure the winch is mounted securely on the vehicle or bracket before operation.
l Before moving a load, inspect the cable. Prevent kinks and uneven cable layer
before they occur. Apply proper tension to loads under 100lbs.
l Do not move your vehicle to assist the winch in pulling the load. It will be easy to
overload, and cause cable damage. Be aware of the danger zone. Keep away
from the danger zone during the operation. The danger zone is the area of the
winch drum, the fairlead (if fitted), the cable, the pulley block (if used), the hook,
and the motor.
