9. NEVER WINCH A BOAT OR OTHER OBJECT WITH ANYONE IN OR ON IT.
Use a spotter to assist you in assuring that it is safe to operate the Winch. Make
sure this person is out of the way of the vehicle and the Steel Cable before acti-
vating the Winch.
10. WHEN MOUNTING THE WINCH ON A VEHICLE/TRAILER, MAKE SURE TO
ALLOW SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR THE WINCH’S HAND CRANK (1) TO BE
TURNED A FULL 360 DEGREES.
11. THE WINCH IS DESIGNED FOR MOUNTING ON SQUARE OR RECTANGU-
LAR SURFACES ONLY. Do not attempt to mount the Winch on a rounded
surface.

GLASS STRAPS. Do not replace the Steel Cable with a Cable of lesser
strength.

with the Winch. Pulling at an angle (off to the side) may cause excessive stress

COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WINCH.
