1. Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewelry clear of the drum area and cable when winching.
2. Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
3. Never allow anyone to stand near the cable or in line with the cable behind the winch while it is under

hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching.

PULLING CAPACITY

1. This winch has a capacity of 2,000 lbs. Applying this measurement to practical applications, you can
use this winch to move the following:
a. Move a load from a dead stop of up to 2,000 lbs., on level ground.
b. Move a water craft of up to 5,000 lbs. and up to 18' long.
c. Maintain movement of a pneumatic tired rolling load of up to 6,000 lbs.

lbs. on fl at ground to 1,100 lbs. on a 45° incline. Please refer to the following chart for estimated pull-
ing capacity (rolling weight) on various inclines.
