1.4. Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that can hold the winch
load.
1.5. Always use proper couplings when connecting winch cable hook to load.
1.6. Do not lift items vertically. The winch was designed for horizontal use only.
1.7. Do not overload the winch (for loads over capacity, we recommend the use of the
optional pulley block to double line the wire rope ). It will do the job better at the load it was
intended.
1.8. Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the winch cable.
1.9. Never lift people or hoist loads over people. Never come in between the winch and the

it for an extended period.
1.12. Examine winch before using. Components may be affected by exposure to chemicals,
salts, and rust.
1.13. Never fully extend cable while under load. Keep 4 complete turns of cable around the
winch drum.
1.14. When loading a boat into a trailer without keel or side hull rollers, make sure the
trailer is submerged in the water when the boat is loaded by the winch. Attempting to drag the
boat on to the trailer while on land can cause winch failure and possible injury.
1.15. Never operate winch if cable shows any signs of weakening, is knotted or kinked.
1.16. Winch does not have a locking mechanism. Secure load after moving.

parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with
this tool.
1.24. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there
is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
Warning! The electric winch is designed for intermittent use only, and should not be used in
a constant duty application. The duration of the pulling job should be kept as short as possible.
If the winch motor becomes very hot to the touch, stop the winch and let it cool down for
several minutes. Never pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load. Do not maintain
power to the winch if the motor stalls.
