Installation Instructions
X2O Winches
1. Never winch with your vehicle in gear or in part, which would damage your vehicle’s
transmission.
2. Never wrap the cable around the object and hook onto the cable itself. This can cause
damage to the object being pulled, and kink or fray the cable
3. Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum area and cable when winching.
4. Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
5. Never allow anyone to stand near the cable or in line with the cable behind the winch while
it is under power. If the cable should slip or brake, it can suddenly whip back towards the
winch, causing a hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winding
6. Don’t leave the switch plugged in when is not in use.
