OPERATION
This tool was designed for use with maximum load capacity of 1,000 pounds. Under no
circumstances should it be used to lift a load.
Do not wrap the cable around the load and hook it back on itself. Doing so will cause undue stress to
be exerted on the cable causing it to malfunction.
Do not use the entire length of cable. Leave at least five full turns of cable on the ratchet at all times.
Do not lengthen the handle to add additional leverage.
Suddenly starting or jerking against load may create excess load causing product failure.
