 USAGE RESTRICTIONS

 

WARNINGS

 

 

Do not exceed the rated load capacity indicated in this manual. 

 

Intermittent use only. Allow the winch to cool between each use. 

 

Do not use the winch to lift a load (vertically). 

 

NEVER use the winch to lift or move people in any way. 

 

NEVER cut, weld or modify any part of the winch or the cable. 

 

A minimum of five turns of steel cable around the drum are required to pull and hold the 
rated load. For synthetic cable, ensure a minimum of 10 turns. 

 

When the winch is in use, please ensure that all people present (including yourself) are 
a safe distance away from the cable.  

 

The cable (whether steel or synthetic) may break before the motor stalls. For heavy 
loads (at or near rated load capacity), use a pulley block to reduce the load on the 
cable. 

 

Never step on a cable and never approach a loaded cable. 

 

Do not move the towing vehicle in order to pull the load with the winch cable.  This 
could cause the cable to break. 

 

Please ensure that the remote control and battery cables are disconnected when not in 
use.  

 

Please avoid jolting the cable by using the controls intermittently to remove slack in the 
cable. Jolts can far exceed the load capacity of the cable and the drum. 

 

Do not exceed the maximum rated pulling capacity indicated in this manual. 

 

When winding the cable, please ensure that it is wound in the correct direction and that 
it winds around the drum from the bottom and not from the top. To ensure that the 
cable is wound correctly, you should apply light tension to the cable while pressing the 
button on the remote control to pull the cable. Move towards the winch to avoid the 
cable slipping between your hands. Do not move your hands within 30 cm of the winch 
when winding.  Turn off the winch and repeat this process until there are only a few cm 
of cable left.  Disconnect the remote control and finish winding the cable by 
disengaging the clutch and turning the drum by hand. Keep your hands away from the 
roller fairlead and the drum when the winch is powered. 

 

Failure to pay attention to these warnings may result in personal injury and/or damaged 
property. 

 

Use gloves to protect your hands when handling the cable. Never allow the cable to slip 
between your hands. 

 

Never attach the cable to itself. When the vehicle is on a slope, apply chocks to the 
wheels. When pulling a load, the winch should be run for the shortest time possible. If 
the motor becomes too hot to touch, stop winching immediately and allow the motor to 
cool for a few minutes. Do not run the winch for more than a minute if you are at or near 
the rated load.
