step 2
Using the grease zerk, grease the pulley pivot point
with wheel bearing grease after each use.
step 1
Always inspect the Snatch Block before use for any
damage. If the choker hole elongates (becomes
oval-shaped), the maximum capacity has been
exceeded and the Snatch Block should be immedi-
ately discarded and replaced.
Never exceed the maximum load of the Snatch
Block (17,600 lbs/8,000 kg). Never exceed the
load capacity of your winch line. Generally,
these are the maximum capacities of steel

InstalLation Instructions
using the snatch block for vehicle recovery
Use the Snatch Block when the winching load is not in a straight line with the winch. This will prevent the winch line
from spooling on one side of the winch drum and damaging the winch and winch line. Always make sure that your
anchor point (typically a tree) is sturdy and will not come loose. Make sure to keep your hands away from the Snatch
Block while pulling.

InstalLation Instructions
using the snatch block when you need more pulling power
Use the Snatch Block when you need more pulling power. Using a Snatch Block will provide a mechanical advantage
and increases your pulling power. The Triple Line technique provides a greater mechanical advantage than the Double
Line technique. Always make sure that your anchor point (typically a tree) is sturdy and will not come loose. Make sure
the recovery point on your vehicle is attached to the frame – never attach to a stock bumper. Make sure to keep your
hands away from the Snatch Block while pulling. Note: Using the Snatch Block in this manner will decrease you winch
line pull speed.
