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.

Overloads can damage the winch, motor and/or wire rope. For loads over 2250 lb. (1021 kg) we recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line.
