Do not operate the winch if the line is knotted, twisted, kinked, frayed,
corroded, or shows any sign of weakening. As soon as a loop starts to form
in the line, stop the winch and straighten the loop. If you notice any
damage to the line, replace it immediately.
Note that a kink permanently weakens a steel cable, even after you
straighten it. Kinked cable can suddenly fail even before it reaches its load
capacity. Never use cable that has been kinked.
Secure the load after moving. Winches are not designed to secure loads.
Use tie-down ropes or straps to secure the load.
Warning! Never fully extend the line while under load.
Always keep at least 4 full turns of line on the drum to supply friction for
proper anchoring. If not, the line may pull loose from the drum. Keep the
line properly aligned on the drum.
Do not winch at an angle. This may
damage the winch drum and the line. The
recommended maximum winching angle
is 4°, both horizontally and vertically.
Do not operate the winch with other than manual power.
Never release the handle while winching a load. The handle may spin
violently and cause serious injury. Never try to stop a spinning handle.
Boat trailers not equipped with keel and side hull rollers are designed to be
submerged in the water when the boat is loaded; this means that the boat
is "floated" onto the trailer. If the trailer is not submerged, attempts to
drag the boat onto the trailer can cause winch failure and possible injury.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the winch and line during operation.
Always check the correct rotation direction before using the winch.
If used on a vehicle, do not move the vehicle to assist the winch. The
combination of the winch and vehicle pulling together can overload the line.
Never hook the line back onto itself. This creates an unacceptable strain on
the line. Do not loop the line around the load.
The ambient operating temperature is between –10 °C and +50 °C. Do not
operate outside of these specifications.
