X2O Winches

NEVER operate winch with less than 10 wraps of rope around the drum. The terminal end is to prevent

terminal.
Always re-spool winch rope under a minimum 1000 lb. load before each use.
Prior to your next pull, re-spool winch line under at least 1000lbs of resistance to prevent damage
to winch line during next recovery.

6
wraps of steel cable or 10 wraps of synthetic rope minimum on the drum. If this is not pra-
