WINCH WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
1.
Keep hands and body away from Fairlead (cable intake
slot) when operating.
2.
Secure vehicle in position before using winch.
3.
Do not exceed winch load weight capacity (see
specifications on Page 8).
4.
Make sure the winch is properly bolted to a structure
(or vehicle) that can hold the winch load.
5.
Always use proper couplings when connecting winch
cable hook to load.
6.
Do not lift items vertically. The winch is designed for
horizontal use only.
7.
Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the
length of the winch cable.
8.
Never lift people or hoist loads over people.
9.
Never come in between the winch and the load when
operating.
10.
Do not apply load to winch when cable is fully
extended. Keep at least 5 full turns of cable on the reel.
11.
After moving an item with the winch, secure the item.
Do not rely on the winch to hold it for an extended period.
12.
Examine winch before using. Components may be
affected by exposure to everyday weathering, chemicals,
salts, and rust. Replace any worn or damaged parts
before using winch.
13.
Never fully extend cable while under load.
Keep 5
complete turns
of cable around the winch drum.
14. When loading a boat onto a trailer without reel or
side hull rollers, make sure the trailer is submerged in the
water when the boat is loaded by the winch. Attempting
to drag the boat onto the trailer while on land can cause
winch failure and possible injury.
15.
Never operate winch if cable shows any signs of
weakening, is knotted or kinked.

Winch does not have a locking mechanism. Secure
load after moving.
17.
Do not cross over or under the cable while in use.

Do not hit the motor housing when the winch stalls or
stops during operation.
21.
Re-spool cable properly.
