Project Ideas

• Always use a factory approved
shackle and strap when attach-
ing the hook to an anchor point.
• Always before winching a load,
be sure the freespool is fully in
the engaged position.
• Never exceed the winch rated
capacity.
• Never use a winch to secure a
load in place. Secure load and
detach hook from load when
transporting the load.
• Always be certain anchor will
withstand the load.
• Always keep helpers and
spectators at a safe distance.
• Never let the rope slip through
your hands, even with gloves on.
• Never touch the rope or hook
while they are in tension, under
load, or when someone else is
at the control switch.
• Always use factory approved
switches, controls accessories
and components.
• Always assure that the equip-
ment such as tackle, hooks
Pulley blocks, straps, etc. are
rated in excess of the load
capability of the winch.
•Always inspect equipment for
wear or damage prior to use:
immediately replace worn or
damaged equipment.
