SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning!
Observe safety precautions for personal safety and the safety of others. Improper equipment
operation may cause personal injury and equipment damage. Read the following carefully before attempting
to operate your winch and keep the instructions for future reference.
1. Avoid Unintentional Starting:
▪
Ensure the isolator switch is in the off position when not in use!
2. Dress Properly:
▪
Don't wear loose clothing or jewellery. 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.
▪
Protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. 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.
▪
Don't step over the cable while it is connected.
▪
All visitors and onlookers should be kept away from the winching area.
▪
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
4. Do not Abuse the Hand Controller:
▪
Never yank the hand controller to disconnect it from the receptacle.
▪
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
5. Do not Overwork the winch:
▪
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop and let it cool for a few minutes.
▪
Don't maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
▪
Don't exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in tables. Shock loads must not exceed these ratings.
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 centre.
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. Hold the cable with one hand and the remote control switch with the other. Start as
far back and in the centre as you can. Walk up keeping load on the cable as the winch is powered in.
▪
Do not allow the cable to slop through your hand and do not approach the winch too closely.
▪
Spool in cable under power but keep hands clear.
Warning: The use of any other accessory or attachment other than those recommended in this
instruction manual will void the warranty and may present a risk of personal injury.
