uada a tierra de
120 voltios de CA y
50/60 Hz, protegido
por un interruptor
de averías por
conexión a tierra.
Nunca quite la
clavija de conexión
a tierra del enchufe.
Nunca haga funcio-
nar este producto
activado por CA
en un ambiente
húmedo.
No pase nunca los
cables eléctricos
por bordes agudos.
No pase nunca los
cables eléctricos
por partes móviles o
cerca de ellas.
No pase nunca los
cables eléctricos
cerca de piezas que
se calienten.
No quite nunca
la cubierta de
protección eléctrica.
No hay ninguna
pieza en el inte-
rior que necesite
mantenimiento o
servicio por parte
del usuario. Deje
que el personal
especializado re-
pare o proporcione
mantenimiento a la
máquina.
Sobrecarga y
sobrecalentamiento
El cabrestante está indicado
para un servicio intermitente. No se
debe poner en funcionamiento con
el motor reducido a bajas RPM.
Cuando el motor se aproxima a la
velocidad crítica, se genera calor
muy rápidamente, lo que puede
ocasionar daños al motor.
La sobrecarga o el
sobrecalentamiento pueden
provocar que salte el cortacircuito
de la máquina. Podrá apreciarse
que un cortacircuitos ha saltado
cuando se vea que la porción
central sobresale del cuerpo
principal. Para restablecer
el cortacircuitos, deje que se
enfríe el motor y pulse la porción
central para devolverla a su
posición normal en el cuerpo del
cortacircuitos.
Reduzca el tiempo de
funcionamiento y deje que haya un
mayor tiempo de enfriamiento si
esto ocurre.
Si el cortacircuitos salta
después de haber dejado que se
enfríe el cabrestante, llame a un
centro de servicio autorizado.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT
HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
General Safety:
• Always know your winch. Take time to fully read
the Installation Guide and the Basic Guide to
Winching Techniques in order to understand your
winch and its operation.
• Never operate this winch if you are under 16
years of age.
• Never operate this winch when under the
infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Never exceed winch or rope capacity listed on
product data sheet. Double line using a snatch
block to reduce winch load.
• Always remove jewelry and wear eye protection.
Installation Safety:
• Always choose a mounting location that is
suffi ciently strong to withstand the maximum
pulling capacity of your winch.
• Always use factory approved mounting hardware,
components, and accessories.
• Always use grade 5 (grade 8.8 metric) or better
mounting hardware.
• Always power winch with only the recommended
electrical system voltage. See the winch
specifi cation sheet for details.
• Never weld mounting bolts.
• Always position fairlead with WARNING label on
top.
• Always spool the rope onto the drum in the
direction specifi ed by the winch warning label on
the winch and/or documentation. This is required
for the automatic brake (if so equipped) to
function properly.
• Always tightly wind rope onto drum when new
and new and after each use. During power in or
power out, rope direction can unexpectedly switch
if rope is caught in layers on drum. Tightly wound
rope reduces chance of catching.
WARNING
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT
HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
Winching Safety:
• Always inspect, rope, hook, and slings before
operating winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged
rope must be replaced immediately. Damaged
components must be replaced before operation.
Protect parts from damage.
• Never leave the winch power cord plugged in when
installing, freespooling, rigging, or when the winch
is not being used.
• Never hook rope back onto itself. This damages the
rope.
• Always use a choker chain, choker rope, or strap.
• Always remove any element or obstacle that may
interfere with safe operation of the winch.
• Always take time to use appropriate rigging
techniques for a winch pull.
• Always be certain the anchor you select will
withstand the load and the strap or chain will not
slip.
• Always select an anchor point as far away as
possible. This will provide the winch with its
greatest pulling power.
• Never touch rope or hook while in tension or under
load.
• Always stand clear of rope and load and keep
others away while winching.
• Always be aware of stability of vehicle and load
during winching, keep others away. Alert all
bystanders of any unstable condition.
• Never use winch to secure a load.
• Always keep wired remote pendant control lead
and power cord clear of the drum, rope and rigging.
Inspect for cracks, pinches, frayed wires or loose
connections. Damaged components must be
replaced before operation.
• Never leave remote pendant control where it can
be activated during freespooling, rigging, or when
the winch is not being used.
• Always require operator and bystanders to be
aware of rope, vehicle and or load.
