Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead
lifting.
WARNING
When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the
cable spools in the under-wind position with
the cable entering the drum from the bottom,
not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing
gloves, keep a slight load on the cable while
pushing the remote button to draw in the
cable. Walk toward the winch not allowing
the cable to slide through your hands. Do not
let your hands get within 12” of the winch
while re-spooling. Turn off the winch and
repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable
are left. Disconnect the remote control and
finish spooling by rotating the drum by hand
with the clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear
of the fairlead and drum while the winch is
under power.
WARNING
Use gloves to protect hands when handling
the cable. Never let the cable slide through
your hands.
CAUTION
Never release the free-spool clutch when
there is a load on the winch.
CAUTION
Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the wire rope.
CAUTION
Do not wrap the cable around any object and
hook it back onto itself.
CAUTION
Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle
when on an incline.
CAUTION
Duration of winching pulls should be kept as
short as possible.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to
the touch, stop winching immediately and let
it cool down for a few minutes. Do not pull for
more than one minute at or near the rated load.
CAUTION
If the motor stalls, do not maintain power to
the winch.
Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in
constant duty applications.
