1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle
in an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of
the cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.
2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates
excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.
3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when
towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the
vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.
4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in
the recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic “bungie”
cords for winching.
5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading
that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

shock load a winch cable. Your winch cable
is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or
“shock” loading. Shock loading may tension a winch
cable beyond its strength and cause the cable to
break. The end of a broken winch cable under such
high loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH
to you and other bystanders.
