SPOOLING IN UNDER LOAD

• The wire cable must always spool onto the drum as indicated by the

drum rotation decal on the winch.

• Power in the wire cable evenly and tightly on the drum. This prevents

the outer wire wraps from drawing into the inner wraps, binding, and

damaging the wire cable.

• Avoid shock loads when spooling by using the control switch

intermittently to take up wire cable slack. Shock loads can momentarily

far exceed the winch and wire cable ratings.

• When powering in wire cable during side pull operations, the wire cable

will stack up at one end of the drum. Eventually, this stack will become

large enough to cause serious damage to the winch. To prevent damage,

! WARNING

! WARNING

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

• Keep hands clear of wire cable, hook, and fairlead opening during

operation.

• Always use the hook strap to hold hook when spooling.
