When using the electric winch
When first using the winch, some smoke
may issue from the motor. This does not
indicate a malfunction, and the smoke
will disappear gradually while using the
winch.
When stopping winch operation
Note that the winch drum will not stop
4-1. Before driving
immediately when you release the
switch.
When you attach a separate cable
to a standing tree
Use durable cloth or some other cover-
ing on the tree surface and take care not
to damage it.
WARNING
To avoid accident or injury
Before and after using the winch,
check for:
• Looseness of the winch installation
bolt
• Wear or rusting of the winch cable
• Cracks, crushing or shorting of the
lead wire of the remote control
If the cable is deformed, frayed or
worn, the cable strength may be
dangerously weakened. If the
remote control lead wire is shorted,
the winch may begin operating
without warning. If you detect any
abnormality with the winch equip-
ment, do not use the winch, and
consult your Toyota dealer.
Never use the winch to lift or move
people, or to lift objects.
No one other than the operator
should stand beside the winch
opening, winch cable, winch hook
or remote control while the winch is
in use or the remote control is
attached to the winch.
Do not rest your hands or feet on
the front bumper near the winch
opening.
They may get jammed in the mech-
anism.
Do not touch the cable or the hook
if the cable is under tension even
though the winch is not being used.
