16.Do not continue use of the winch until the battery is completely run down.
Stop before it reaches that point.
17.When possible, keep the engine running while using this winch to continu-
ally recharge the battery and prevent the battery from being drained so much that
the vehicle cannot start. However, you should see extreme caution when working
around a running vehicle and ONLY operate a vehicle in an outdoor area.
18.When finished pulling the load, reverse the direction of the winch just
enough to release tension on the wire rope so that you can unfasten the hook
from the load and reel in the wire rope.
19.Disconnect the pendant controller (if equipped) after use.
Duty Cycle
Avoid damage to the winch by not winching for more than the prescribed duty
cycle time.
The duty cycle defines the amount of time, within a 15 minutes period, during
which a winch can operate at its maximum capacity without overheating. For
example, this winch with a 5% duty cycle at its maximum load must be allowed to
rest for at least 14 minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of continuous
operation. Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations can easily
over-stress a winch contribution to premature winch failur
Wipe external surfaces of the winch with a clean cloth.
