

NOTICE

The vehicle engine should always be kept running during winching 

operation to minimize battery drain and maximize power and speed 

of the winch. If the winch is used for a considerable amount of time 

with the engine switched off the battery will drain and be too weak to 

restart the vehicle engine. If this happens stop winching immediately, 

jump start the vehicle and charge the battery up before resuming 

winching operation.



NOTICE

Get to know your winch before you need to use it.  We recommend 

that you set up a few test runs to familiarize yourself with rigging 

techniques; the sounds your winch makes under various loads and the 

way the cable spools on the drum, etc.

INSPECT the wire rope and equipment before each use.  A 

frayed or damaged rope must be replaced immediately. Use 

only manufacturer’s identical replacement rope with the exact 

specifications. (Ropes are not covered by any warranty offered)
INSPECT the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are 

tight before each operation or periodcally.



NOTICE

Store the remote control lead inside your vehicle or in a safe place.

Never connect the winch cable back to itself.  This will cause cable to 

damage.  Always use a pulley, snatch block, sling or chain of suitable 

strength as shown in the illustrations.

NOTICE
