linepullcapacityis themaxline pullofthe firstlayer.Neveroperate winchpulling
a loadthat exceedsthe rated capacity.
lNeverhookthecableback to itself because itcoulddamagethe cable.
lBe surethewinchismountedsecurelyon thevehicleorbracket before operation.
lBeforemovinga load,inspect the cable. Prevent kinksandunevencablelayer
before theyoccur. Applypropertension to loadsunder100lbs.
lDo notmoveyourvehicletoassistthewinch in pullingthe load.It willbeeasyto
overload,andcausecabledamage. Beawareofthe dangerzone.Keepaway
