WINCH GUIDE WINCH GUIDE These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came equipped with a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle. WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.
Page 54
WINCH GUIDE 13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning. 14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s rated capacity. 15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.
Page 55
WINCH GUIDE WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual. Each winching situation is unique. • Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do. •...
Page 56
WINCH GUIDE 4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook. WARNING Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY. • Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.
Page 57
WINCH GUIDE WARNING Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace DW INDUSTRIES winch parts (including the cable) with genuine DW INDUSTRIES replacement parts available at your authorized DW INDUSTRIES dealer.
Page 58
WINCH GUIDE 8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use. a. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure, always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object.
Page 59
WINCH GUIDE 11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle.
Page 60
WINCH GUIDE 15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task. a. Release the clutch on the winch. b.
Page 61
WINCH GUIDE 2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown at right. Even after being “straightened out,” this cable has already been permanently and severely damaged.
Page 62
WINCH GUIDE 2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”). This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading. 3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow speeds.
Page 63
WINCH GUIDE WARNING Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
