• This brake winch is built for multi-purpose hauling and lifting operations. It is not to
be used as a hoist for lifting, supporting or transporting people, or for loads over
areas where people could be present.
• Respect this winch. High forces are created when using a winch, creating potential
safety hazards. It should be operated and maintained in accordance with
instructions. Never allow children or anyone who is not familiar with the operation
of the winch to use it. A winch accident could result in personal injury.
• Check winch for proper operation on each use. Do not use if damaged. Seek
immediate repairs.
• Never exceed rated capacity. Excess load may cause premature failure and could
result in serious personal injury. This winch is designed to operate with two ends
of a single cable exiting the drum in opposite directions, each with a load of no
more than 2,000 lb/907 kg. Single line or unequal load should not exceed 1,000
lb/454 kg.
• Never apply load on winch with cable fully extended. Keep at least three full turns
of cable on the reel.
• This winch is designed to be powered by a 1/2" reversible electric drill using a
shepherd's hook connected through the loop drive. If the drill labors significantly,
the winch may be overloaded.
