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 pre-
cautions will extend the life of your
motor. Keep the duration of pulls as
short as possible. If the end of the

Your S4500 winch is a very powerful
machine. Treat it with respect, use it
with caution and always follow the
safety guidelines.
before the winch stalls. For heavy
loads, use a pulley block to reduce
the load on the wire rope.

unsafe operating conditions. FOR
LOADS OVER 3,000 POUNDS
(1,361KG), WE RECOMMEND THE
USE OF THE OPTIONAL PULLEY
BLOCK TO DOUBLE LINE THE
WIRE ROPE (Figures 2 & 16). This
reduces the load on the winch
and the strain on the wire rope
by approximately 50%. If attach-
ing back to vehicle, attach to the
frame or other load bearing part.
The vehicle engine should be run-
ning during winch operation to
minimize battery drain and maxi-
mize winch power and speed. If
considerable winching is per-
formed with the engine off, the
battery may be too weak to
restart the engine.
2. AFTER READING AND UNDER-
STANDING THIS MANUAL, LEARN
TO USE YOUR WINCH. After
installing the winch, practice
using it so you will be familiar
with it when the need arises.

3. DO NOT "move" your vehicle to
assist the winch in pulling the
load. The combination of the
winch and vehicle pulling together
could overload the wire rope and
the winch.
4. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do
not allow people to remain in the
area during winching operations.
ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE
ROPE, HOOK AND WINCH. IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT OF ANY COM-
PONENT FAILURE, IT IS 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.
