SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do not allow
people to remain in the winching area. Do not
stand between the winch and the load.
15. INSPECT WIRE ROPE FREQUENTLY. A frayed
wire rope with broken strands should be replaced
immediately. Never replace the wire rope with
rope of any kind or with wire rope other than the
type and size specified in the repair parts section of
this manual.
16. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when
handling the wire rope to eliminate the possibility
of cuts or scratches from burrs and slivers from
broken strands.
17. ALLOW WINCH TO COOL DOWN
FREQUENTLY (Electric Winch), as the motor is
designed for intermittent duty only. When the
metal motor housing is hot to touch, it is time to let
the winch cool down
18. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH WHEN UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR
MEDICATION.
19. DO NOT USE WINCH TO HOLD LOADS IN PLACE.
Use other means of securing loads, such as tie
