should be attached to the vehicle frame. 

8.  Ensure  rated  “D”  or  bow  shackles  are  used  in  conjunction  with  an  approved  tree  trunk 

protector to provide a safe anchor point. 

9.  When extending winch cable, ensure that at least FIVE (5) wraps of cable remain on drum at 

all  times.  Failure  to  do  so  could  result  in  the  cable  detaching  from  the  drum  under  load, 
causing serious personal injury or property damage. 

10. All winches are provided with a red cable marking to identify that 5 cable wraps remain on 

the  winch  drum;  when  this  mark  appears  at  the  rollers,  no  recovery  should  be  attempted 
beyond this marking. 

11. Since  the  greatest  pulling  power  is  achieved  on  the  innermost  layer  of  your  winch,  it  is 

desirable  to  pull  off  as  much  line  as  you  can  for  heavy  pulls;  however,  you  must  leave  5 
wraps minimum on the drum, to the red cable marking. If this is not practical, use a snatch 
block and double line arrangement. 

12. Neat, tight spooling avoids cable blinding, which is caused when a load is applied and the 

cable is pinched. If this happens, alternately power the winch in and out. 

Do not attempt to 

work a bound cable under load; free by hand.

 

13. Apply blocks to wheels when vehicle is on an incline. 
14. Battery: 

Be  sure  that  the  battery  is  in  good  condition.  Avoid  contact  with  battery  acid  or  other 
contaminants.   
Always wear eye protection when working around a battery. 
Have the engine running when using the winch, to avoid depleting the battery. 

15. Winch cable: 
Be sure that the cable is in good condition and is attached properly. 

Do not use the winch if cable is frayed. 
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load. 
Do not replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength. 
The life of cable is directly related to the use and care it receives. Following each use, a cable 
must be wound onto the drum under a load of at least 500 lbs. (230kg) or the outer wraps will 
draw into the inner wraps and severely damage the cable during winching. The first winch use 
should be a familiar run while in a relaxed, non-recovery situation. Spool out the cable until the 
red cable mark appears (about five wraps on the drum), then rewind the cable onto the drum 
under a load of 500 lbs. (230kg) or more. This will slightly tension and stretch the new cable and 
create  a  tight  cable  wrap  around  the  drum.  Failure  to  do  so  may  result  in  cable  damage  and 
reduced cable life. 
When  the  cable  is  replaced,  apply  a  drop  of  thread  bonder  to  seal  the  threads  and  prevent 
leakage.  Tighten  the  clamp  screw  properly  but  do  not  over-tighten.  The  clamp  thread  will 
prevent loosening of the screw in arduous conditions. 
When replacing the steel wire rope, be sure to disconnect the winch cable to “+” (positive) of the 
battery, and disengage the clutch by move the clutch handle to the “OUT” position. 

16. Do not attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch. 
17. Do not drive your vehicle to assist the winch. Vehicle movement in combination with winch 

operation may overload the cable, the winch itself or cause damaging shock loads. 

18. Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an increased force is 

suddenly  applied  to  the  cable.  A  vehicle  rolling  back  on  a  slack  cable  may  induce  a 
damaging shock load. 

19. The  winch  shown  in  this  manual  is  solely  for  vehicle  and  boat  mounted,  non-industrial
