User Guide
Before you begin using your winch, read and understand the guide. Please retain this guide for future reference.
These safety warnings and instructions apply if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle.
Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for
either unless noted otherwise.
1. Read all sections of this manual.
2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.
3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.
4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.
5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.
Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle. See the
section on page 15.
7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable and load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while
operating the winch.
8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not being used.
9. 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.
10. Always apply your vehicle’s park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if
needed.
11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch
cable at an angle to the winching vehicle’s center line whenever possible.
12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
A. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too
much winch cable at one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.
B. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 on page 4 to feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the
winch operation.
13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.
14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated capacity.
15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation,
stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.
follow all winch instructions and warnings
in this manual. Improper winch use can result in
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
