CAUTION CAUTION

MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT

HAZARD

Failure to observe these instructions

could lead to minor or moderate

injury.

General Safety:

• Always Know Your Winch. Take time to fully

read the Installation and Operations Guide,

and Basic Guide to Winching Techniques,

in order to understand your winch and its

operation.

• Never operate this winch if you are under

16 years of age.

• Never operate this winch when under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

• Never exceed winch or rope capacity listed on

product data sheet. Double line using a snatch

block to reduce winch load.

• Never use winch or rope for towing.

Installation Safety:

• Always choose a mounting location that is

sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum

pulling capacity of your winch.

• Always use factory approved mounting

hardware, components, and accessories.

• Always use grade 5 or better hardware.

• Never weld mounting bolts.

• Always use care when using longer bolts

than those supplied from factory. Bolts that

are too long can damage the base and/

or prevent the winch from being mounted

securely.

• Always mount the winch and attach the hook

to the rope’s end loop before connecting the

electrical wiring.

• Always position fairlead with WARNING label

on top.

• Always spool the rope onto the drum in the

direction specified by the winch warning label

on the winch and/or documentation. This is

required for the automatic brake to function

properly.

• Always prestretch rope and respool under

load before use. Tightly wound rope reduces

chances of “binding”, which can damage the

rope.

MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT

HAZARD

Failure to observe these instructions

could lead to minor or moderate

injury.

Winching Safety:

• Always inspect rope, hook, and slings before

operating winch. Damaged components must

be replaced before operation. Protect parts

from damage.

• Never leave wired remote control plugged into

winch when free spooling, rigging, or when the

winch is not being used.

• Never hook rope back onto itself. This

damages the rope.

• Always use a choker chain, choker rope, or

tree trunk protector on the anchor.

• Always remove any element or obstacle that

may interfere with safe operation of the winch.

• Always take time to use appropriate rigging

techniques for a winch pull.

• Always be certain the anchor you select will

withstand the load and the strap or chain will

not slip.

• Never engage or disengage clutch if winch

is under load, rope is in tension or drum is

moving.

• Never touch rope or hook while in tension or

under load.

• Never touch rope or hook while someone else

is at the control switch or during winching

operation.

• Always stand clear of rope and load and keep

others away while winching.

• Always be aware of stability of vehicle and

load during winching. Alert all bystanders of

any unstable condition.

• Never use a winch to secure a load.

NOTICE

CAUTION

MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT

HAZARD

Failure to observe these instructions

could lead to minor or moderate

injury.

Winching Safety:

• Always keep wired remote control lead

clear of the drum, rope, and rigging. Inspect

for cracks, pinches, frayed wires or loose

connections. Replace remote control if

damaged.

• Always pass wired remote control through a

window to avoid pinching lead in door, when

using remote inside a vehicle.

• Never leave remote control where it can be

activated during free spooling, rigging, or

when the winch is not being used.

CUT AND BURN HAZARD

Failure to observe these instructions

could lead to minor or moderate

injury.

To avoid injury to hands or fingers:

• Always wear heavy leather gloves when

handling a rope.

• Never let rope slip through your hands.

• Always be aware of possible hot surface at

winch motor, drum or rope during or after

winch use.

MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT

HAZARD

Failure to observe these instructions

could lead to minor or moderate

injury.

• Always use a hook with a latch.

• Always ensure hook latch is closed and not

supporting load.

• Never apply load to hook tip or latch. Apply

load only to the center of hook.

• Never use a hook whose throat opening has

increased, or whose tip is bent or twisted.

AVOID WINCH AND EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE

• Always avoid side pulls which can pile up rope

at one end of the drum. This can damage rope

or winch.

• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or

disengaged.

• Never use winch to tow other vehicles or

objects. Shock loads can momentarily exceed

capacity of rope and winch.

• Always avoid “powering out” rope for

extended distances. This causes excess heat

and wear on the winch motor and brake.

• Always use care to not damage the vehicle

frame when anchoring to a vehicle during a

winching operation.

• Never “jog” rope under load. Shock loads can

momentarily exceed capacity of rope and winch.

• Never use winch to secure a load during

transport.

• Never submerge winch in water.

• Always store the remote control in a protected,

clean, dry area.

• Always double line or pick distant anchor point

when rigging. This maximizes pulling power and

avoids overloading the winch.

• Never mount receiver near parts that get hot.

• Never mount receiver next to battery.
