Winching safety:
Observe your winch while winching, while standing at a safe distance.
Never attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
Never engage or disengage the clutch control when: your winch has a load on it; the winch line
is under tension; or the drum is moving.
Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged. Failure to do so will significantly
reduce winching capacity.
Always free spool the winch line from the drum instead of powering out them.
During winch pulls, you are required to run your engine and at the same time check the voltage
gauge of your vehicle.
Never operate the winch at an angle of more than 15°, because angles greater than this will
deform or damage parts of the winch.
It is recommended to watch drum for excessive winch line build-up, especially during angled
pulls. Because the build-up is likely to cause damage to both the winch and the winch line.
Always keep the synthetic rope from sharp objects.
Always keep wired remote control lead and power cord clear of the drum, rope, and
rigging.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop winching immediately and let it
cool down for a few minutes. Do not use for more than 3 minutes under full load without letting
the motor cool down for a few minutes.
Do not power the hook into the fairlead. This could cause damage to the fairlead.
Mounting location should be strong enough to withstand the maximum pulling capacity of your
winch.
Always complete the winch installation and hook attachment before installing the wiring.
Never route electrical cables across sharp edges, through or near moving parts, or near parts
that get hot.
