Safety Information
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
The following Safety Precautions Must be Followed at ALL Times. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions in
this manual could result in serious injury and/or property damage.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow children to
handle the electric winch.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not use winch to lift or move people.
Keep clear of wire cable when under load.
Keep clear of the load being towed, so that if a failure occurs the load will not harm any bystanders.
This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Wear safe clothes when using the winch, including non-slip sturdy footwear and gloves.
Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, or jewellery that can get caught in the winch's moving parts and cause
personal injury. Keep long hair safely tied up when using the winch.
INSTALLATION SAFETY
Choose a mounting location that can support the winch and rated load capacity.
Do not weld mounting bolts.
Only use supplied power cable and winch cable. Do not use thinner/longer cables or link multiple cables
together.
Do not route electrical cables near sharp edges or parts that will move or become hot.
WINCHING SAFETY
Do not exceed maximum line pull capacity.
Don't use force when using the winch. It needs to operate at the speed to which it has been designed.
Do not use for more than 5 minutes under full load. Let the motor cool down for 10 minutes before using again.
Carefully inspect all cords and cables periodically. If damaged, do not use the product.
Disconnect from the power when not in use.
Never leave the winch running or powered while unattended. Ensure the winch has come to a complete stop,
and is not supporting a load when unattended.
There are no user serviceable parts in the product. Do not attempt to repair, open or alter any components. In
the case of improper usage or if you have opened, altered or repaired the product yourself, all guarantees are
void. This excludes battery replacement in the wireless remote control.
Do not engage or disengage clutch while under load.
Always ensure hook latch is closed.
Never apply load to hook tip or latch. Apply load only to the center of hook.
Stay out of the direct line that the winch cable is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it will create a whiplash effect.
Utilize a winch dampener to help absorb the force released in case the winch cable breaks.
Do not use for hoisting. This winch is intended to be used for pulling only.
Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap or chain. Do not wrap the winch cable around the object
and hook onto the winch cable itself.
Keep at least 5 full turns of winch cable on the drum.
