WINCHING OR CLAMPING WITH THE JACK
You may use this jack as a winch or clamp. See the pictures on this page and follow these instructions.
For Winching:
Make sure the top clamp is in line with the bar. Install one end of chain or tow strap securely to the object
to be winched, and securely attach the other end of the chain or tow strap to the top clamp of the jack. Use
a shackle if the chain or tow straps will not fit through the Top Clamp of the jack. Take another chain or tow
strap and secure one end to a fixed, stable object, and the other end around the lifting nose on the jack (do
not attach chain or shackle to bottom hole of the lifting nose). If the fixed object is a tree, follow Tread Lightly
principles and use a tree strap. Operate the jack as you would for raising or lowering a load.
DANGER: The working load of each chain or tow strap must be greater than the strength of the jack. If
a chain or tow strap breaks while winching, the load could shift or the chain or tow strap could snap back.
When used as a winch, the top clamp will support up to 3307 lbs. If you go over this limit, the top clamp
could bend or break, causing the load to shift or the chain or tow strap to snap back. If that occurs, it could
result in damage or injury.
For Clamping:
Loosen the top clamp bolt. Turn the top clamp 90° to the steel bar, and retighten the bolt. You can connect the
top clamp anywhere along the steel standard (bar) to use the jack as a clamp. Operate the jack as you would
for raising a load.
DANGER: The maximum clamping force is 750 lbs. If you exceed this limit, the top clamp could bend or
break, resulting in injury or damage.
