Never touch the metal or synthetic rope or hook while they are in
tension or under load. Even at rest, the winch may have
the metal or synthetic rope in tension. Never guide a
metal or synthetic rope under tension onto the drum with
your hands.

Use a pulley block to avoid winching at sharp angles. Uneven
layering will cause serious damage to the winch and metal or
synthetic rope. It can be corrected by securing load, spooling
out the wire rope and repositioning it to the opposite end of
the drum.
Do not disengage clutch under load, If your winch is
equipped with a freespool clutch, be certain that there is no
tension on the metal or synthetic rope when you disengage
the clutch. Before winching a load , be sure the clutch is
fully engaged.
Ne ver 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.
A minimum of 5 wraps of cable on the
drum is required to hold load. Otherwise
the cable will leave the drum of the winch
and cause damage.
