Warning! Observe safety precautions for personal safety and the safety of others. Improper
equipment operation may cause personal injury and equipment damage.
Read the following carefully before attempting to operate your winch and keep the instructions for
future reference.

-Wear leather gloves when handing winch cable. Do not handle cable with bare hands as broken
wires can cause injuries.
-Non-skid footwear is recommended.
-Protective hair covering to contain long hair.
2. Keep a Safe Distance:
-Ensure that all persons stand well clear of winch cable and load during winch operation; 1.5 times
the cable length recommended .If a cable pulls loose or breaks under load it can lash back and
cause serious personal injury or death.
-Don't step over the cable.
-All visitors and onlookers should be kept away from the work area.
-Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
3. Don't Abuse the Cord:
-Never carry your winch by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle.
-Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
4. Don't overwork the winch:
-If the motor becomes uncomfortable hot to touch, stop and let it cool for a few minutes.
-Don't maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
-Don't exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in tables. Shock loads must not exceed these
ratings.
5. Avoid Unintentional Starting:
-Winch clutch should be disengaged when not in use and fully engaged when in use.
6. Check Damaged Parts:
-Before using, you should check your winch carefully. And part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre.

-Leather gloves must be worn while respooling. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep a
slight load on the cable.
Hold the cable with one hand and the remote control switch with the other. Start as far back and in
the centre as you can. Walk up keeping load on the cable as the winch is powered in.
-Don not allow the cable to slop through your hand and do not approach the winch too closely.
-Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until all the cable except 1m is in.
-Disconnect the remote control switch and finish spooling in cable by rotating the drum by hand
with clutch disengaged.
-On hidden winches, spool in cable under power but keep hands clear.
Warning: The use of any other accessory or attachment other than those recommended in the
instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.
