4. If you install a tow hook for double lining, it should be attached to the vehicle frame.

5. Equipping the winch with a fairlead will reduce wear on the rope during angle pulls

( see Fig. 8 ). The rollers reduce rubbing and abrasion to the rope.

6. Pull as straight as possible to reduce the buildup of rope on one end of the drum.

7. The vehicle’s engine should be running during winching operation. If consider-

able winching is performed with the engine o, the battery may be too weak to restart

the engine.

CAUTION

Use a pulley block to avoid winching at sharp angles. Uneven

layering will cause serious damage to the winch and rope. It

can be corrected by securing load, spooling out the rope and repositioning it to the

opposite end of the drum.

DANGER

Do not disengage clutch under load. If your winch is equipped

with a freespool clutch, be certain that there is no tension on the

rope when you disengage the clutch. Before winching a load, be sure the clutch is

fully engaged.

WARNING

Use the winch to move the load. Do not attempt to assist the

winch by moving the vehicle. The combination of the winch and

and vehicle pulling could overload the rope and the load could break the winch.

DANGER

Never rely on the winch to hold a load in place.

None of our winches are designed for load-holding

applications and may unwind or fail due to shock loading as the

load is being transported. The load should be secured by other means, and the

winch hook detached from the load.

WINCHING

DANGER

Never touch the rope or hook while they are in tension or under

load. Even at rest, the winch may have the rope in tension. Never

guide a rope under tension onto the drum with your hands (see Fig. 5).

1. Winch with at least ve wraps of wire rope or at least eight wraps of synthetic rope

around the winch drum. With fewer wraps the rope could pull loose from the drum

under load.

2. When pulling a load, place a blanket, jacket or tarpaulin over the wire rope near the

hook end (see Fig. 6). This will slow the snap back of a broken wire rope and help to

prevent serious injury. Raise hood to protect windshield.

WARNING

Note the winch’s rated capacity and do not exceed it.

3. Double line with a pulley block ( see Fig. 7 ) to reduce the load on the winch, rope

and battery. Double lining will also reduce winch line speed. Be sure all equipment

used meets the winch’s maximum line pull rating. When double-lining, pulley blocks

should be rated to a minimum of two times the winch’s line pull rating.
