strong enough to withstand all forces imposed on
it from the loads and winch .

frame, take a marker and mark “spot” holes
on the anchor .
3 . Measure each hole on the winch frame and
choose the correct drill bit for each one .
4 . Drill through all “spot” holes in the anchor .

using rated bolts, washers, and nuts able to
withstand any loads and forces imposed on
them by the loads and winch .

Always double check anchor before drilling
to ensure there are no hidden compartments
or panels that may be damaged or cause
structural damage by drilling .

Utility Winch location
When choosing an anchor (permanent or
temporary) for the utility winch location please
keep these safety points in mind .
– The winch area must not be accessible to
children or animals . Loads may be very heavy
and property damage, injury or death may
occur if distractions are present .
– Make sure the winch is not installed on any
support structure that is located overhead .
– The winch should be located in an area that
has enough clearance on all sides of it, to
avoid any accidental breaking of the wire
cable .
– Do not choose an area where the winch can
or will be submerged in water .
– Do not winch at any angle . Winching at any
angle can damage the wire cable and winch .
Do not use the winch handle to anchor the
winch at any time .
