!
WARNING
Do not exceed the rated capacity.
!
DANGER
Do not use this winch for lifting or moving people or
animals.
!
DANGER
Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of
the rope when under tension.
!
DANGER
Never step over a rope or near a rope under load.
!
WARNING
The rope may break before the motor stalls.
For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley
block/snatch block to reduce the load on the rope.
!
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the
winch rope. This could result in rope breakage.
!
WARNING
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.
!
WARNING
Do not use the winch to secure or hold a vehicle for a
long period of time. Do not use the winch to secure a
vehicle for transport.
!
WARNING
Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when
not in use.
!
WARNING
Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch
intermittently to take up the slack in the rope. “Shock
loads” can far exceed the rate capacity for the rope
and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching. Loss of
traction can cause a shock load on the rope.
!
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away from
batteries at all times. Wear safety glasses and protect
the eyes at all times. Do not lean over the batteries
during operation.
!
WARNING
When re-spooling the rope, ensure that the rope
spools in the under-wind position with the rope
entering the drum from the bottom, not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves, keep
a slight load on the rope while pushing the remote
button to draw in the rope. Walk toward the winch not
allowing the rope to slide through your hands. Do not
let your hands get within 12 in. of the winch while re-
spooling. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure
until a few feet of rope are left. Disconnect the remote
control and finish spooling by rotating the drum by
hand with the clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of
the fairlead and drum while the winch is under power.
!
WARNING
Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead lifting.
!
CAUTION
Use gloves to protect hands when handling the rope.
Never let the rope slide through your hands.
