7. KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT
WIRE ROPE AND HOOK WHEN
OPERATING WINCH. Never put
your finger through the hook. If
your finger should become
trapped in the hook, you could
lose your finger. Never guide a
wire rope onto the drum
with your hand.
8. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE
BACK ONTO ITSELF because you
could damage the wire rope.
Use a nylon sling (Figure 4).

9. It is a good idea to lay a heavy
blanket or jacket over the wire
rope near the hook end when
pulling heavy loads (Figure 5). If
a wire rope failure should occur,
the cloth will act as a damper
and help prevent the rope from
whipping. Raise the hood of the
vehicle for added protection.

10. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR
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 6). This can jam the wire
rope in the winch, causing damage
to the rope or the winch.

13. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING
INSTRUCTION LABELS.
14. Always operate winch with an
unobstructed view of the winch-
ing operation.
15. Equipment such as tackle, hooks,
pulley blocks, straps, etc. should
be sized to the winching task
and should be periodically
inspected for damage that could
reduce their strength.
16. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL
CLUTCH WHEN THERE IS A LOAD
ON THE WINCH.
17. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH
WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION.
18. When moving a load, slowly
take up the wire rope slack until
it becomes taut. Stop, recheck
all winching connections. Be
sure the hook is properly seated.
If a nylon sling is used, check the
attachment to the load.
