Canadian Patent 2378538

WARNING READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL,
OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS WINCH. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This winch has been fully lubricated at the factory; but, for continued smooth
performance and increased life, occasional greasing of gears and reel shaft and
an occasional drop of oil on drive shaft bearings are recommended.
Keep winch in good working order. Damaged or severely-worn parts create
unnecessary dangers and could result in personal injury or property damage.
•This winch is built for multi-purpose hauling and pulling operations. It is
not recommended for lifting applications. For lifting, use a self-locking
winch. DLx winches are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting
or transporting people or for loads over areas where people could be
present.
•Respect this winch. High forces are created when using a winch,
creating potential safety hazards. It should be operated and maintained
in accordance with instructions. Never allow children or anyone who is
not familiar with the operation of the winch to use it.
•Maintain a firm grip on the winch handle at all times, and never release
the handle when ratchet lever is in unlocked position with a load on the
winch. Otherwise, handle will spin violently, which could cause personal
injury.
•Check for proper ratchet operation on each use of the winch. Do not use
if damaged. Seek immediate repairs.
•Never use the winch handle as a convenient handle for pulling or
maneuvering the entire trailer or other equipment. Never pull on the
winch handle against a locked ratchet.
•Never exceed rated capacity. Excess load may cause premature failure
and could result in serious personal injury. This winch is rated with
three layers of line on the hub. Using more layers of line or a large hub
increases the load on the winch.
•Never apply load on winch with line fully extended. Keep at least three
full turns of line on the reel.
•Secure load properly. When winching operation is complete, do not
depend on winch to support load.
•Operate with hand power only. This winch should not be operated with a
motor of any kind. If the winch cannot be cranked easily with one hand,
it is probably over-loaded.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WINCH MAINTENANCE

HANDLE AND NUT MUST BE TIGHTENED AGAINST DRIVE SHAFT BEFORE
OPERATING WINCH. Wind line on winch reel by turning winch handle in clock-
wise direction with ratchet lever in up position. The ratchet should produce a
loud, sharp clicking noise. Make sure that ratchet lever is in up position and
holding load before winch handle is released. To unwind or reel out line, secure-
ly grip winch handle and apply force in clockwise
direction so that ratchet lever can easily be moved
to down position. Carefully turn handle in counter-
clockwise direction. Do not lose control. The winch
can be converted to wind line on to the
underside of the reel. To do this,
carefully examine ratchet assembly
and remove it from winch. Do not
lose small parts. Turn the lever
over and reassemble. Do not
over tighten bolt. Check
operation to insure the
ratchet lever rotates fully
without binding.
