Every winching situation has the potential for personal injury. In order to minimize that
risk, it is important to read this guide and The Basic Guide to Winching Techniques
carefully. Please familiarize yourself with the operation of your winch before using it, and
be constantly safety oriented. In this guide, we will set forth many of the basic rules of
safe winch operation. Please read The Basic Guide to Winching Techniques for more
information on your winch and proper rigging techniques. Remember, because every
winching situation is different, your constant good judgment and consistent focus on
safety are of great importance.
