Manual Conventions
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle to pull a load (towing)
on the winch cable. This could result in cable
breakage.
WARNING
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified
by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not use the winch to secure or hold a
vehicle for a long period of time. Do not use
the winch to secure a vehicle for transport.
WARNING
Disconnect the remote control and battery
leads when not in use for extended periods.
WARNING
Avoid "shock loads" by using the control switch
intermittently to take up the slack in the wire
rope. "Shock loads" can far exceed the rate
capacity for the cable and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on the
cable. Do not use cable as a pull strap.
