Always inspect the rope / strap and its attachment before each use to make sure it is not damaged.
Never use it if it is worn, kinked, or frayed. If the rope / strap or attachment breaks, the rope / strap

Periodically check mounting hardware and tighten if necessary.

the operation, and inspection and maintenance can be conducted easily.
Set the winch height to easy-work-height.
Fix the winch to the installation base with bolts and nuts.
OPERATION
Let Rope / Strap Out:
Disengage the ratchet pawl (roll the ratchet handle down) and slowly pull out the rope / strap. If
you must stop before the rope / strap reaches the desired location, be sure the ratchet pawl is
engaged (the ratchet handle is rolled up) to hold the rope / strap there.
Take Load In:
Be sure the ratchet pawl is engaged. As you turn the handle, make sure the rope / strap is winding
onto the drum properly. If you must stop before the load is fully in, be sure the ratchet pawl is
engaged and gradually release the winch handle.
Shift:
Make sure that the ratchet pawl is properly engaged
before attempting to change gears. Relocate the
winch handle onto a different input shaft.
