8. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE
BACK ONTO ITSELF. Use a nylon
sling (Superwinch Part No. 1509).
Hooking the wire rope onto itself
can damage the rope (Figure 3).

9. Lay a heavy blanket or jacket
over the wire rope near the
hook end when pulling heavy
loads (Figure 4). If a wire rope
failure should occur, the cloth
will act as a damper and help
prevent the rope from whip-
ping. Raise the hood of the
vehicle for added safety.

10. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR
LIFTING OR MOVING PEOPLE.
The winch is not designed nor
intended for use in lifting or
moving people.
11. Your winch is not designed or
intended for overhead hoisting
operations.

12. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS
FROM EXTREME ANGLES as
this will cause the wire rope to
pile up at one end of the drum
(Figure 5). This can jam the wire
rope in the winch, causing dam-
age to the wire rope or winch
itself.

13. Always operate winch with an
unobstructed view of the winch-
ing operation.
14. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A
FAIRLEAD BE USED to guide
the wire rope onto the winch.
Two types of fairleads are
offered: the Hawse Fairlead,
Part No. 1507, and the Roller
Fairlead, Part No. 1560.
15. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH
WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION.
16. ALWAYS REMOVE THE
SWITCH BEFORE WORKING IN
OR AROUND THE WIRE ROPE,
FAIRLEAD, OR WINCH DRUM
(THE DANGER ZONE) so that
the winch cannot be turned on
accidentally.
17. NEVER WORK ON OR
AROUND THE FAIRLEAD OR
WINCH DRUM, WHEN WINCH
IS UNDER LOAD.
18. When using your winch to move
a load, place the vehicle trans-
mission in neutral, set vehicle
parking brake, chock all wheels,
and keep the engine running.
