6. Verify that the installation surface has no
hidden components or structural pieces
that will be damaged before drilling.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not exceed load capacity. Be aware
of dynamic loading! Sudden load
movement may briey create excess
load causing product failure.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
heavy-duty leather work gloves during
operation.
3. Do not disengage clutch under load.
Engage clutch before starting.
4. Keep clear of Fairlead when operating.
Do not try to guide wire rope.
5. Place heavy rag or carpet
(not included) over wire
rope span 6 feet from
hook to help absorb
the force released if
the wire rope breaks.
6. Stay out of the direct line that the wire
rope is pulling. In case it slips or breaks,
it will “whiplash” along this line.
7. Do not winch a boat or other object with
anyone in or on it.
8. Use a spotter to assist you in assuring
that it is safe to operate the winch.
Make sure the spotter is out of the way
of the vehicle and the wire rope before
activating the winch.
9. Do not use the hand crank, if equipped,
to “assist” the winch.
10. Use as intended only. Do not lift items
vertically or use for aircraft purposes.
11. Prevent entanglement. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry, as they can
be caught in moving parts. Non-skid
footwear is recommended. Wear
restrictive hair covering to contain long
hair.
12. Inspect before every use; do not use if
damaged or if parts are loose. Examine
the winch for structural cracks, bends,
damage, frayed wire rope, and any
other condition that may affect the safe
operation of the winch. Do not use the
winch even if minor damage appears.
13. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
14. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating.
Do not use a winch while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating winches may result in
serious personal injury.
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the winch in unexpected
situations.
16. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic elds in close proximity
to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker
failure.
17. Do not power the hook all the way into
the fairlead or winch.
