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

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:
could bend or break, resulting in injury or damage.
