WARNING
ALWAYS use supplied hand saver cable strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out, during
installation or operation to avoid injury to hands and fingers.
2.1 Spooling in Under Load
WARNING
NEVER exceed winch's rated line pull. Power-in the winch rope evenly and tightly on the drum.
This prevents the outer winch wraps from sinking into the inner wraps, binding and damaging
the winch rope.
NEVER touch winch rope or hook while someone else is at the control switch or during winch-
ing operation.
Do not shock load the winch when spooling. Avoid shock loads when spooling by pulsing the control
switch to take up winch rope slack. Shock loads can momentarily far exceed the winch and rope ratings.
NOTICE
DO NOT power the hook into the fairlead. This could cause damage to the fairlead.
2.2 Overloading / Overheating
The type of duty is intermittent-periodic duty S3 and the load time never exceeds 2 minutes. When
the motor approaches stall speed, very rapid heat buildup occurs which may cause motor damage.
Double-line rigging will reduce the amperage draw, and reduce heat buildup in the motor. This allows
longer continual use.
2.3 Safe Working Conditions
WARNING
The operator should ALWAYS operate the winch from a safe position when pulling a load. The safe
areas are: Perpendicular to the winch rope.
The safe position will help prevent the wire rope from striking the operator if the wire rope fails when
under load.
Fully extend the pendant control cord to operate winch whenever possible. The operator must try to
maintain at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) from the winch while operating.
WARNING
NEVER work around the winch rope while under load.
NEVER step over a winch rope while under load.
ALWAYS use caution when working with electricity and remember to verify that no exposed
electrical connections exist before energizing your winch circuit.
