Never work around the winch drum or the
winch cable while it is under tension.
Unplug the winch switch before working on the
winch drum in order to prevent inadvertent
operation.
When operating winch, take up slack slowly.
Stop winch before cable becomes tight and
inspect all winching connections. Check winch
attachment, hook attachment, nylon sling (if
required) and load attachment.

angle can cause damage to the front suspen-
sion and may cause the vehicle to overturn.

winch a load, it should have the parking brake
set and chocks installed on all wheels.
