1.
LEARN TO USE YOUR MILE MARKER WINCH: After winch has been installed, take some time and practice using it so you will be familiar with ALL
OPERATIONS. Periodically check the winch installation to ensure that all bolts are tight. To ensure proper operation, carefully inspect for any
damaged parts before operating the winch.
2.
KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR: Do not allow people to remain in the area during winching operations. Do not step over a taut cable or allow
anyone else to do so. Due to the possibility of cable failure stand clear of any possible pathway. A snapped cable could cause winch failure,
injury or death. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across the winch and/or cable while the winch is in operation.
3.
INSPECT CABLE AND EQUIPMENT FREQUENTLY: The cable should be inspected for damage that could reduce it's breaking strength. A frayed
cable with broken strands should be replaced immediately. Always replace the cable with a cable that is rated to sustain the load that the winch
is capable of pulling. Any substitute must be identical in strength, quality, lay and stranding to the Mile Marker cable originally supplied.
4.
WORKING AREA CONDITIONS: Keep the working area well lit. Do not use this winch in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
5.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY: Keep children away from working area. Do not let children operate the winch.
6.
DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non conductive clothes
and non skid footwear is the only type of clothing you should be using when operating the winch. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long
hair.
7.
WEAR LEATHER GLOVES: When handling or rewinding cable always use hand protection to eliminate the possibility of cuts caused by burrs &
slivers from broken strands.
8.
DRUM: Always make sure that there are at least 5 complete turns of cable left on the drum before winching.
9.
KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF CABLE AND HOOK WHEN OPERATING WINCH: Do not put your finger through the hook when reeling in the
last few feet. If your finger should become trapped in the hook, you could lose your finger. Do not guide a cable under tension onto the drum with
your hand.
10.
DO NOT HOOK THE CABLE BACK ONTO ITSELF: Hooking the cable back onto itself creates an excessive strain that could break individual strands;
this, weakens the entire cable.
11.
KEEP PULLING DURATIONS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE: The winch is designed for intermittent use and cannot be used in
constant duty applications. Do not pull more than one minute at or near rated load. If the motor becomes too hot to touch, stop and let it cool off
for a few minutes. If the motor stalls, cut off the power immediately.
12.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: For your safety and efficient performance, always use this winch at or under its rated capacity for your safety and for better
performance. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed its rated capacity.
13.
AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS FROM EXTREME ANGLES: This will cause the cable to pile up at one end of the drum. The cable should be as straight
as possible to the direction of the object.
14.
DO NOT OPERATE THE WINCH WITHOUT THE FAIRLEAD FITTED: Operator injury or winch damage can result if a fairlead is not installed.
15.
STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing. Use your common sense. Do not use this winch when you are tired, stressed or when under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
16.
DISCONNECT SWITCH: Unplug switch when not in use.
17.
REPLACEMENT PARTS & ACCESSORIES: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Usage of any other parts will void the warranty. Approved
accessories are available from your local distributor.
18.
DO NOT force clutch. Rotate drum to align gears for freespool.
