IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions before using this winch. Keep this manual for the
safety warnings and precautions, operating, inspection and maintenance instructions. When using
this winch, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or
damage to the equipment.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of
the winch in unexpected situations.
2. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Tie back long hair. Protective clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working.
3. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate a winch when you are tired, under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right winch for the job. Do not attempt to force a lower capacity winch to do the work required of a larger
capacity winch. The proper capacity winch will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do
not modify this winch or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Maintain your winch with care. Keep your winch clean and in good condition for a better and safer performance. The
handle must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained winch reduces the risk of
injury and is easier to control. Applying excessive force can lead to slips, damage to the winch or personal injury.
SERVICE
1. Check for damaged parts. Before using any winch, any part that appears to be damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended functions. Check for alignment and binding of moving
parts; broken parts or mounting xtures, or any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualied technician.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never lift people or lift loads over people.
2. Do not lift loads vertically, the winch was designed for horizontal use only.
3. Do not overload the winch. For loads over the specied maximum, use a more powerful model.
5. Never winch wire with less than 5 turns of wire rope around the winch drum. The rope fastener may not be able to
withstand the full load.
6. Avoid continuously pulling from extreme angles. This will cause the rope to pile up on one end of the drum, which
could jam the winch and cause damage to the winch or the rope.
7. Be sure to correctly attach the winch before starting to recall the rope.
8. When moving a load, slowly wing the rope until it becomes taut, then stop and check that the rope is correctly
winding before proceeding further.
9. It is recommended to lay a heavy blanket over the cable near the hook end when pulling heavy loads. If a cable
fails and snaps, the cloth will help prevent the cable from whipping out of control.
10. Do not move the winch to assist it in pulling the load. The combination of the winch moving and the cable being
pulled together could overload the cable and the winch.
11. Never work on/around the winch drum while the rope is being recalled. Keep ngers, hair and loose clothing and
jewelry away from the drum at all times. Stay clear of ropes, hooks and the winch. Do not let the rope slide through
your ngers while being recalled.
12. Do not let anyone cross over or under the rope while the winch is being used.
13. Never release the rope while it is under load.
14. After you have nished operating the winch, release the load and recall the remaining rope.
15. Inspect the rope before each use to make sure it is not frayed or broken.
16. Use caution when pulling or lowering a load up and down a ramp or incline. Keep the path clear and do not let
anyone stand beneath the load being pulled, they could get seriously hurt if the cable should break or the load should
slip.
INSTALLATION
Mount the winch properly, make sure the cable does not have to go over the drum to reach the load you wish
to pull.
OPERATION
1. Once installed rmly, grab and pull the cable to the desired load, then attach to the item being pulled.
Note:
Make sure that there are at least ve turns of rope on the drum before operation.
2. Recall the cable using the handle on the side of the winch.
3. Recall all of the remaining cable after you have nished using the winch.
MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check to make sure the winch is properly installed on it's surface.
2. Check the cable to make sure it is not dirty, frayed or damaged.
REPLACING THE ROPE
1. Always replace a cable with one that is identical in diameter and load limit.
2. Unwind the rope from the drum, then remove completely and dispose of it accordingly.
3. Insert the new cable on the drum. Make sure to insert it in the correct manner secure it tightly.
