HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
General Safety:
• Always Know Your Winch: Take time to fully
read and understand the included Installation
and Operations guide, and Basic Guide to
Winching Techniques, in order to understand
your winch and the winching operation.
• Never operate this winch if you are under 16
years of age.
• Never operate this winch when under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Never exceed winch or wire rope rated
capacity. Double line using a snatch block to
reduce winch load.
Installation Safety:
• Always choose a mounting location that is
sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum
pulling capacity of your winch.
• Always use factory approved switches,
remote controls, accessories and installation
components.
• Always use grade 5 or better hardware, never
weld bolts and never use longer bolts than
those supplied from factory.
• Always complete winch mounting and
attachment of hook to hook loop before wiring
winch during installation.
• Always position fairlead with WARNING label
on top.
• Always spool the wire rope onto the drum as
indicated by the drum rotation label on the
winch. Required for automatic brake to work (if
winch is so equipped) and for correct
installation orientation.
• Always prestretch wire rope and respool
under load before use. Tightly wound wire
rope reduces chances of "binding", which is
wire rope working it's way down into a loosely
wound wire rope layer, and catching or
damaging itself.

CAUTION
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT
HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to minor or moderate injury.
Winching Safety:
• Always inspect winch installation and wire
rope condition before operating winch. Frayed,
kinked or damaged wire rope must be
replaced immediately. Loose or damaged
winch installation must be corrected
immediately.
• Never leave remote control plugged into winch
while free spooling, rigging, or sitting idle.
• Never hook wire rope back onto itself. This
damages the wire rope. Always use a choker
chain, wire choker rope or tree trunk protector
on the anchor.
• Always prior to winching, remove any element
that may interfere with safe winch operation.
• Always take your time when rigging for a
winch pull.
• Always be certain the anchor you select will
withstand the load, and the strap or chain will
not slip.
• Never engage or disengage clutch if winch is
under load, wire rope is in tension or wire rope
drum is moving.
• Always unspool as much wire rope as
possible when rigging. Double line or pick
distant anchor point.
• Never winch with less than 5 wraps of wire
rope around the drum, the wire rope could
come loose from the drum.
• Always stand clear of wire rope and load
during operation.
• Never touch wire rope or hook while in tension
or under load.
• Never touch wire rope or hook while someone
else is at the control switch or during winching
operation.
• Never touch wire rope or hook while remote
control is plugged into winch.
• Always stand clear of wire rope and load and
keep others away while winching.

NOTICE
AVOID WINCH AND EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE
• Always avoid continuous side pulls which can
pile up wire rope at one end of the drum. This
can damage your wire rope or winch.
• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or
disengaged.
• Never use winch to tow other vehicles. Shock
loads can momentarily exceed capacity of wire
rope and winch.
• Always use care to not damage your frame
when anchoring your vehicle during a winching
operation.
• Never "jog" wire rope under load. Shock loads
can momentarily exceed capacity of wire rope
and winch.
• Never use winch to secure a load during
transport.
• Never submerge winch in water.
• Always store the remote control in a
protected, clean, dry area.
