B. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.
C. If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the center line of the
winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and
reduce the load on the fairlead.
D. If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a
tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp
cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember
to Tread Lightly(treadlightly.org).
E. Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch
cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.
F. Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always
replace damaged parts before using the winch.
5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.
6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.
7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’s pulling capacity.
Always be sure that at least five full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by
this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.
8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.
A. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure, always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A
damper can be a heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the energy released if a
winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.
B. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is spooled out.
C. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the
winch cable. Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.
D. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with
the winch cable during winch operation.
9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.
10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.
11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when the vehicle itself is stuck. The winch
equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See
the
section on page 14. For your safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:
A. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch cable.
B. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s center line.
C. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s frame following instructions in this manual.
D. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.
E. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.
F. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction of winching.
G. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.
H. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the vehicle.
I. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.
J. Detach the winch cable hook.
K. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the instructions in this manual.
replace the winch cable at the first signof
damage to prevent SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in
the event of a failure. For your safety, always replace
winch parts (including the cable) with
replacement parts available at your
authorized dealer or the website.
