Figure 2).

10. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE

BACK ONTO ITSELF because you
could damage the wire rope.
Use a nylon strap (Figure 3).

11. It is a good idea to lay a heavy

blanket or jacket over the wire

rope near the hook end when
pulling heavy loads (Figure 4). If
a wire rope failure should occur,
the cloth will act as a damper
and help prevent the rope from
whipping.

13. Your winch is not intended for

overhead hoisting operations.

14. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS

FROM EXTREME ANGLES as this
will cause the wire rope to pile
up on one end of the drum
(Figure 5). This can jam the wire
rope in the winch, causing dam-
age to the rope or the winch.

15. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING

INSTRUCTION LABELS.

Your winch is a very powerful
machine. If used unsafely or
improperly, there is a possibility
that property damage or personal
injury could result.

The responsibility
for safe installa-

tion and operation of the winch and
prevention of personal injury and
property damage ultimately rests
with you, the operator. There is
no substitute for the use of good
judgement and caution in operating
a winch.

The wire rope

may break before

the winch stalls.

1. Maximum working load capacity

is on the wire rope layer closest
to the drum. DO NOT OVER-
LOAD. DO NOT ATTEMPT PRO-
LONGED PULLS AT HEAVY
LOADS. Overloads can damage
the winch and/or the wire rope
and create unsafe operating con-
ditions.

The vehicle engine should be
running during winch opera-
tion.
If considerable winching is
performed with the engine off,
the battery may be too weak to
restart the engine.

UNLIKELY EVENT OF ANY COM-

PONENT FAILURE IT‘S BEST TO BE

OUT OF HARM‘S WAY.

5. INSPECT WIRE ROPE, STRAPS AND

Always replace wire rope with

the manufacturer‘s identical

replacement part (S

ee Replacement

Parts List).

Periodically check the winch

installation to ensure that all

bolts are tight.

6. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES

when handling wire rope. DO

NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE

THROUGH YOUR HANDS.

7. NEVER WINCH WITH LESS THAN 5

TURNS of wire rope AROUND THE

WINCH DRUM since the wire rope

end fastener may NOT withstand

full load.

2. AFTER READING AND UNDER-

STANDING THIS MANUAL, LEARN

TO USE YOUR WINCH.

After installing the winch,

practice using it so you

will be familiar with it

when the need arises.

3. DO NOT “move” your vehicle to

assist the winch in pulling the

load. The combination of the

winch and vehicle pulling togeth-

er could overload the wire rope

and the winch.
