OPERATION & CAUTIONS

The Work Winch has a rated capacity of 1200 lbs. This is the load the complete assembly will withstand before failure.

It is a recommended industry standard that the working load not exceed 1/3 of the rated capacity or 400 lbs.

Inspect strap and winch assembly before each use and replace if worn or damaged. Make sure that the cotter pin and

washers are securely in place and that parts move freely. Keep at least 2 wraps of strap around mandrel. Keep strap

away from sharp or hot surfaces. CHECK TENSION FREQUENTLY - STRAPS STRETCH AND LOADS SETTLE.

No warranty is made about the suitability of this product for any purpose other than securing ladders. Keep cargo

height within the side rails of the rack

Work Winches can be installed form either the left side or the right side of Contractor Rig gussets and brackets. Pay

careful attention to the orientation of both the pawl and the strap. The pawl looks like a dolphin and its nose faces

away from you. The hook end of the strap should come up on the outside of the coil from underneath.

To secure a load, let the handle hang freely, lift the pawl and pull out enough strap to go over the load. For pickup trucks,

engage the hook on the underside of the 2 1/2” tall lip of the crossmember. Take up the slack by rotating the hand wheel

and tighten using the handle. Do not over tighten as the handle has been designed to slip on the hex if it is over-stressed.

REMEMBER TO CHECK STRAP TENSION FREQUENTLY BECAUSE STRAPS STRETCH AND LOADS SETTLE.
