WINCH

• Always avoid side pulls which can pile up rope at one end of the drum. This can damage rope or winch.
• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged.
• Never use winch to tow other vehicles or objects. Shock loads can momentarily exceed capacity of rope and winch.
• Always avoid “powering out” for extended distances. This causes excess heat and wear on the winch motor and brake.
• Always use care to not damage the vehicle frame when anchoring to a vehicle during a winching operation.
• Never “jog” rope under load. Shock loads can momentarily exceed capacity of 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.
• Always double line or pick distant anchor point when rigging. This maximizes pulling power and avoids overloading the
winch.
