Product:
Note:
1. Never winch with your vehicle in gear or in park, which would damage your vehicle's transmission.
2. Never wrap the cable around the object and hook onto the cable itself. This can cause damage to the object
being pulled, and kink or fray the cable.
3. Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum area and cable when winching.
4. Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
5. Never allow anyone to stand near the cable, or in line with the cable behind the winch while it is under power.
If the cable should slip or brake, it can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing a hazard for anyone in
the area.
6. Don't leave the switch plugged in when the winch is not in use.
CHECK THE WINCH CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING!

MAINTENANCE

Winch

It is highly recommended that the winch be operated regularly (once a month). Simply power the cable out 15m,
free spool 5m and then power back in. This will keep all components in good working condition so that the winch
can be relied on when needed.

Synthetic Rope

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your winch rope. Periodically check the rope for damage or wear. Also,
it's just as important to check the fairlead for damage, as a roughed-up fairlead can easily damage your rope.
Never combine a synthetic rope with a fairlead that has sharp edges, such as a fairlead worn down by steel cable.
An aluminum hawse fairlead is highly recommended for use with synthetic rope, since the aluminum hawse has no
sharp edges and resists damage more easily than a roller fairlead.
Wash your synthetic rope regularly and always after driving through mud or saltwater. Unwind the rope and rinse it
off with a garden hose to remove mud, salt, grit, and debris. Never use solvents, bleach, or harsh detergents to
clean your rope. They can weaken the fibres and compromise the strength of the rope. Let the rope air dry before
storing or respooling. Keep synthetic rope covered to slow down the fading of the rope. Even with UV inhibitors,
exposure to the sun will eventually fade the colour on your rope. Synthetic line is designed to withstand harsh
exposure to the elements, since it was originally developed for marine use, but it will last longer (and look better) if
you keep it covered.
