INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm –
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
 WARNING
Do not use as a hoist for overhead lifting.
Do not use this winch for lifting or moving people or
animals.
Never step over the cable/rope when operating under
load.
Always maintain a safe distance to the opposite side of
the cable/rope when operating under load.
 WARNING
Never exceed the rated capacity.
Be aware that the cable/rope may break before the
motor stalls.
For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, always use a
snatch block to reduce the load on the cable/rope.
 WARNING
Do not use the winch to secure or hold a vehicle for an
extended period of time.
Always apply stop blocks to the wheels of the vehicle
when on an incline.
Do not use the winch to secure a vehicle for
transporting purposes.
Never move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) when
operating the winch cable/rope.
Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a
load on the winch.
 WARNING
Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when
not in use.
 WARNING
Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch
intermittently to take up the slack in the cable/rope.
“Shock loads” can exceed the rated capacity of the
cable/rope and drum.
 CAUTION
Use a winch hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the cable/rope.
 CAUTION
Always use gloves to protect hands when handling the
cable/rope. Never let the cable/rope slide through your
hands.
 WARNING
When re-spooling the cable/rope, ensure that it spools
in the under-wind position with the cable/rope entering
the drum from the bottom, not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves, keep
a slight load on the cable/rope while pushing the
remote button to draw in the cable/rope. Walk toward
the winch not allowing the cable to slide through your
hands. Do not let your hands get within 12 inches
(30 cm) of the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the
winch and repeat the procedure until a few feet of
cable/rope are left. Disconnect the remote control and
finish spooling by rotating the drum by hand with the
clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of the fairlead
and drum while the winch is under power .
 CAUTION
Do not wrap the cable/rope around any object and
hook it back onto itself.
