Winch Hook Strap; Tree Trunk Protector - Quadratec Q9500i Operator's Manual

Winch Hook Strap

Each Q series winch in-
cludes a nylon winch hook
strap. If not already
attached to your winch
hook, you should
immediately attach this
strap before using your
winch. This strap allows you to keep your fingers away
from the roller fairlead when the wire rope is being spooled
in and prevent the possibility of finger or hand pinching. If
you do not have the hook strap, purchase one or use a
length of cord or something similar.
This is extremely important.

Tree Trunk Protector

This is a must if you plan on winching to a live tree or other
large anchor point. Using a chain or straight cable on a live
tree can harm/kill the tree so always remember to "Tread
Lightly". Also, you should never hook back to your winch
cable when wrapping around a log or other stationary
anchor point as it can damage your winch cable. Having a
tree trunk protector will provide a secure anchor point
without damaging your winch cable.
