Press (and hold) the OUT pushbutton to release the load. Wait until the motor stops before reversing directions.
5.When the pulling is complete, secure the load so it cannot move in either direction.
Caution: The Utility Winch is designed for intermittent use only, and should not be used in a constant duty application. The duration of the pulling job should be kept as short as possible. If the Winch motor becomes very hot to the touch, stop the Winch and let it cool down for several minutes. Never pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load. Do not maintain power to the Winch if the motor stalls as it can damage the motor or gears.
