WINCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The winch is designed to lift load (“reel in”) when the crank is turned in a clockwise direction.
This action will produce a clicking sound. To lock load at any desired position, simply release
the hand crank. To lower load (“reel out”), turn the hand crank in
a counter-clockwise direction.
To lock load in any desired position, turn handle crank clockwise until at least two clicks are
heard before releasing handle.
WARNING: Never exceed rated winch load. Excess load may cause premature failure and
could result in serious personal injury. This winch is rated at 1200 pounds with one layer of
cable on a 2-1/2" hub. Using more layers of cable increases the load on the winch.
CAUTION: Never apply load to winch with cable fully extended. Keep at least three full turns of
cable on the reel.
IMPORTANT: Sufficient load must be applied to the cable to overcome internal resistance
and operate brake properly. Otherwise, turning the hand crank counter-clockwise will only
remove the crank from the shaft as the reel will not turn. Minimum operating load requirement
for the DLB-1200 winch is 75 pounds.
NOT FOR MOVEMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS
WINCH LUBRICATION: This winch has been fully lubricated at the factory, but for continued
smooth performance and increased life, occasionally grease gears, reel shaft and handle
threads. An occasional drop of oil on drive shaft bearings is also recommended.
CAUTION: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE BRAKE MECHANISM
