SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper equipment operation may cause 

damage to equipment. Observe all safety 

precautions for personal safety and the safety 

of others. Failure to comply may cause death or 

serious personal injury.
Read the following carefully before attempting 

to operate your winch. Keep the instructions for 

future reference.

1.  DRESS PROPERLY.
  • DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be 

caught in moving parts.

  • Wear leather gloves when handling winch cable. Do 

not handle cable with bare hands as broken wires can 

cause injuries.

  • Non-skid footwear is recommended.

2.  KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE.
  • Ensure that all persons stand well clear of winch 

cable and load during winch operation, 1.5 times the 

cable length recommended. If a cable pulls loose or 

breaks under load, it can lash back and cause serious 

personal injury or death.

  DO NOT STEP OVER THE CABLE.
  • All visitors and onlookers should be kept away from 

the work area.

  • Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

3.  DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
  • Never carry your winch by the cord or yank it to 

disconnect it from the receptacle.

  • Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.

4.  DO NOT OVERWORK THE WINCH.
  • If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, 

stop and let it cool for a few minutes.

  • DO NOT maintain power to the winch if the motor 

stalls.

  • DO NOT exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in 

tables. Shock loads must be avoided.

Safety Precautions

5.  AVOID UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION.
  • Winch clutch should be disengaged and the hook 

secured when not in use and fully engaged when in 

use.

6.  CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
  • Before using, you should check your winch carefully. 

Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired 

or replaced by an authorized service center.

7.  REPAIR YOUR WINCH.
  • When repairing, use only identical replacement parts 

or it may cause considerable danger for the user.

8.  RE-SPOOL THE CABLE.
  • Leather gloves must be worn while re-spooling. To 

re-spool correctly, it is necessary to keep a slight load 

on the cable. See item 16 of operational warnings 

section.

  • Do not allow the cable to slide through your hand 

and do not approach the winch too closely.

  • Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until all 

the cable except for approximately 1 meter (3 feet) is 

in.

  • Disconnect the remote control switch and finish 

spooling in cable by rotating the drum by hand with 

clutch disengaged.

  • On hidden winches, spool in cable under power but 

keep hands clear.
