• Always inspect the cable and its attachment
before each use to make sure they are not
damaged. Never use worn, kinked, or frayed
cable. If the cable or attachment breaks, the
cable will whip violently, causing property dam-
age, serious bodily injury, and/or death.
• Never stand along side the winch cable or rope
or guide the cable or rope with your hands.
•Never operate with slippery, wet, or oily hands
and always maintain a firm grip on the winch
handle. Do not attempt to stop a winch by
grabbing the handle while in motion.
• Always maintain a minimum of three (3)
complete wraps of cable or rope on the drum.
• Only winches that have a minimum hub
diameter of 1 3/4” can accommodate steel cable.
• Assure there is adequate safety factor, of at least
3 times the maximum load for all components
used.
• A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be
heard when lifting the load. If a loud clicking
sound is not heard, do not use and replace
ratchet components immediately.
• Never release the crank handle unless the
ratchet pawl is fully engaged and the load is
supported.
• Never leave a weight supported from the winch
while the winch is unattended, as another person
may attempt to operate the winch, thereby
creating an unsafe condition.
• This winch is designed for manual operation
only and the load rating is based on an
intermittent duty cycle.
• Excessive force in turning winch handle may
indicate overload. Winches require maximum
of 45 lbs of handle force to pull their rated load.
• If you cannot crank the winch with one hand
you are potentially overloading the winch.
• Periodically check mounting hardware for
proper torque and tighten if necessary.
