Winch Warnings and Precautions
1. Keeps hands and body away from Fairlead (cable intake slot) when operating.
2. Secure vehicle in position with the emergency brake and wheel blocks before using
winch. Never keep the vehicle in Park or in gear while using the Electric Winch.
3. Do not exceed winch load weight capacity (see Specifications on page 2).
4. Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that can hold the winch
load.
5. Always use proper couplings when connecting winch cable hook to load.
6. Do not lift items vertically. The winch was designed for horizontal pulling use only.
7. Do not overload the winch (see Specifications on page 2). It will do the job better and
safer at its rated capacity.
8. Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the winch cable.
9. Never pull people or pull loads over people.
10. Never come in between the winch and the load when operating.
11. Do not apply winch to load when cable is fully extended. Keep at least 4 full turns of
cable on the reel.
12. After moving an item with the winch, secure the item. Do not rely on the winch to hold
it for an extended period.
13. Examine winch before using. Components may be affected by exposure to chemicals,
salts, and rust.
14. Never fully extend cable while under load. Keep 4 complete turns of cable around the
winch drum.
15. When loading a boat into a trailer without keel or side hull rollers, make sure the trailer
is submerged in the water (but not the Winch) when the boat is loaded by the winch.
Attempting to drag the boat on to the trailer while on land can cause winch failure and
possible injury.
16. Never operate winch if cable shows any signs of weakening, is knotted or kinked.
17. Winch does not have a locking mechanism. Secure load after moving.
18. Do not cross over or under cable under load.
19. Do not move vehicle with cable extended and attached to load to pull it. The cable
could snap.
20. Use leather gloves while handling cable.
