Never operate a damaged or malfunctioning
winch. If winch appears damaged or is
malfunctioning, disconnect power source and
disconnect load.
WARNING
Any support structure the winch will be
mounted to must be designed to withstand
any load or forces that the load and winch
may apply to the structure. All mounting
hardware must also be able to withstand all
load weights and forces.
WARNING
Use only supplied or manufacturer
replacement power cables. Do not connect
other cables to a power source and winch, as
this may damage the winch and power source.
WARNING
When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the
cable spools in the over-wind position with the
cable entering the drum from the top, not the
bottom.
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. Do not let your hands get within 12 in.
(30.5 cm) of the winch while re-spooling. Turn
off the winch and repeat the procedure until
a few inches of cable are left before the stop
bracket. Keep hands clear of the winch, cable
and slight load which winch is under power.
WARNING
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.
Utility winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in
constant duty applications.
CAUTION

Before each use inspect the winch and
equipment for any damage to the following:
– Winch
– Wire cable
– Hook
– Battery or Remote cables
If any of the above items or any other items
appear to be damaged or broken then replace
or fix before use.
