An electric winch is like any other motor
driven power tool such as an electric drill
or saw. The electric motor should not be
allowed to become excessively hot.
Normal precautions will extend the life
of your motor. Keep the duration of pulls
as short as possible. If the end of the
motor becomes uncomfortably hot
to touch, stop winching and allow the
motor to cool down.

Your winch is a very powerful
machine. Treat it with respect, use it
with caution and always follow these
safety guidelines.
WARNING
!
tion and operation of the winch and
prevention of personal injury and
property damage ultimately rests
with you, the operator. There is
no substitute for the use of good
judgement and caution in operating
a winch.

a pulley block to reduce the load on
5575
the wire rope.

1. Do not maintain power to the
winch if the motor stalls. Overloads
4097
can damage the winch and/or the
wire rope and create unsafe oper-
ating conditions. FOR LOADS
OVER 2/3 RATED CAPACITY, WE
RECOMMEND THE USE OF A
PULLEY BLOCK TO DOUBLE LINE
24V
THE WIRE ROPE (Figure 1). This

reduces the load on the winch and
172
the strain on the wire rope by
260
approximately 50%. If attaching
310
back to vehicle, attach to the frame
or other load bearing part. The
392
vehicle engine should be run-
425
ning during winch operation to
minimize battery drain and
maximize winch power and
speed. If considerable winching is
performed with the engine off, the
battery may be too weak to restart
the engine.

2. AFTER READING AND
UNDERSTANDING THIS
MANUAL, LEARN TO
USE YOUR WINCH.
After installing the winch, practice
The responsibility
using it so you will be familiar with
for safe installa-
it when the need arises.
3. DO NOT "move" your vehicle to
assist the winch in pulling a load.
The combination of the winch and
vehicle pulling together could
overload the wire rope and the
winch itself.
4. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do
The wire rope
not allow people to remain in the
may break before
area during winching operations.
ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE
ROPE/HOOK AND WINCH. IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT OF ANY COMPO-
NENT FAILURE IT'S BEST TO BE OUT
OF HARM'S WAY.
5. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIP-
MENT FREQUENTLY. A FRAYED
WIRE ROPE WITH BROKEN
STRANDS SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. Always replace
wire rope with the manufacturer's
identical replacement part (see
Replacement Parts List). Periodically
check the winch installation to
ensure that all bolts are tight.
6. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when
handling wire rope. DO NOT LET
WIRE ROPE SLIDE THROUGH YOUR
HANDS EVEN WHEN WEARING
GLOVES.
