Installation Safety continued:
ALWAYS complete the winch installation and hook
attachment before installing the wiring.
ALWAYS keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop,
hook and fairlead opening during installation, operation,
and when spooling in or out.
ALWAYS position fairlead with printed warning
readily visible on top.
ALWAYS prestretch rope and re-spool under load before
use. Tightly wound rope reduces chances of "binding",
which can damage the rope.
Winching Safety:
ALWAYS ensure the clutch is fully engaged
or disengaged.
ALWAYS inspect winch rope, hook, and slings before
operating winch. Frayed, cut or damaged winch rope
must be replaced immediately. Damaged components
must be replaced before operation.
ALWAYS Protect parts from damage.
ALWAYS remove any element or obstacle that may
interfere with safe operation of the winch.
ALWAYS be certain the anchor you select will withstand
the load and the strap or chain will not slip.
ALWAYS use supplied hook strap whenever spooling
winch rope in or out, during installation and operation.
