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

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
