WINCHING OR CLAMPING WITH THE JACK

You may use this jack as a winch or clamp. See the pictures on this page and follow these

instructions:

For Winching:

Make sure the top clamp is in line with the bar. Install one end of chain or tow strap securely to the

object to be winched, and securely attach the other end of the chain or tow strap to the top clamp of

the jack. Use a shackle if the chain or tow straps will not fit through the Top Clamp of the jack. Take

another chain or tow strap and secure one end to a fixed, stable object, and the other end around the

lifting nose on the jack (do not attach chain or shackle to bottom hole of the lifting nose). If the fixed

object is a tree, follow Tread Lightly principles and use a tree strap. Operate the jack as you would for

raising or lowering a load.

DANGER: The working load of each chain or tow strap must be greater than the strength

of the jack. If a chain or tow strap breaks while winching, the load could shift or the chain or tow strap

could snap back. When used as a winch, the top clamp will support up to 3307 lbs. If you go over this

limit, the top clamp could bend or break, causing the load to shift or the chain or tow strap to snap

back. If that occurs it could result in damage or injury.

For Clamping:

Loosen the top clamp bolt. Turn the top clamp 90° to the steel bar, and retighten the bolt. You can

connect the top clamp anywhere along the steel standard (bar) to use the jack as a clamp. Operate

the jack as you would for raising a load.

DANGER: The maximum clamping force is 750 lbs. If you exceed this limit, the top clamp

could bend or break, resulting in injury or damage.
