7. Do not exceed the Winch’s tow capacity of 1,000 lbs.
8. Be certain Winch is properly bolted to a secure structure that can hold the
Winch load.
9. Always use proper couplings when connecting Winch cable hook to load
cable or rope.
10. Do not lift items vertically. The Winch was designed for horizontal use only.
11. Do not overload the Winch. It will do the job better at the load it is intended.
12. Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the Winch
Cable.
13. Never lift people and animals or hoist loads over people.
14. Never come between the Winch and the load when operating.
15. Do not apply load to Winch when cable is fully extended. Keep at least 4
full turns of cable on the reel.
16. After moving an item with the Winch, secure the item. Do not rely on the
Winch to hold an object for an extended period. The Winch does not have a
locking mechanism.
17. Examine Winch before using. Components may be affected by exposure to
chemicals, salts, and rust.

cable around the Winch module.
19. When loading a boat into a trailer without keel or side hull rollers, make
sure the trailer is submerged in the water 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.
20. Never operate Winch if cable shows any signs of weakening, or is
knotted or kinked.
21. Never fully extend the cable while under load.

pressure on the handle, the load may be too large for the Winch.
