P. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in neutral and the emergency brake released. Only
release the brake pedal when under full tension. Avoid shock loads to the winch. This can damage
the winch, rope and vehicle.
Q. The winch is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single line rig do not power in for
more than a minute without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes and then resume the
winching operation.
R. The winching operation is complete once the vehicle is on stable ground and is able to drive
under its own power.
S. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes and place the vehicle in park.
T. Release the tension on the wire rope. The winch is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods
of time.
U. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor.
V. Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire already on the drum has spooled tightly and
neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool from the point where the rope is tight.

X. Secure the hook and hook strap.
Y. Disconnect the remote control and store in a clean, dry place.

Engage the clutch and re-spool the new rope on the drum keeping tension on the rope as it
spools. Ensure that the rope is re-spooling in the under wind position.
