SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATED LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE
WINCH; (9,500 LBS. ROLLING), (8,500 LBS. MARINE), (3,000 LBS. PULL-
ING). Never use the Hand Crank (1) to “assist” the Winch. Overloading the Winch
could cause serious personal injury and/or property damage.
2. THE WINCH IS DESIGNED FOR INTERMITTENT USE ONLY. Do not use the
Winch in a constant duty application. The duration of the pulling job should be
kept as short as possible. If the Winch 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 capacities. Do not maintain power to the Winch
if the Motor (65) stalls.
3. MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AS OUTLINED IN THE MANUFACTURER’S
MANUAL FOR THE VEHICLE/TRAILER TO WHICH THE WINCH WILL BE
ATTACHED.
4. MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AS OUTLINED IN THE MANUFACTURER’S
MANUAL FOR THE OBJECT YOU WILL WINCH. Make sure to attach the Winch
Cable Hook (57) of the Winch to the manufacturer’s recommended pulling point.
5. ALWAYS EXAMINE THE WINCH FOR STRUCTURAL CRACKS, BENDS,
DAMAGE, FRAYED CABLE, AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS THAT MAY
AFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE WINCH. Do not use the Winch even
if minor damage appears.
6. MAINTAIN A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Keep the work area well lit.
Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work
area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris.
7. ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE GEARS OF THE
WINCH WHEN APPLYING OR RELEASING A LOAD. Remain clear of the
Winch Cable Hook (57) when pulling a load. Do not stand in line with the Cable
Assembly, as it could whip violently should it break. People and animals should
be kept at a safe distance when using the Winch.
8. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN APPLYING OR RELEASING A LOAD.
Never allow the load to suddenly release. Slowly and carefully apply and release
the load.
