 If nylon strap is used, it should have a loop sewn in one end and be attached using a 3 /8" x 3" or
1 /4" x 2-3/4" long bolt and locknut. Use a locknut, not a nut, and lock the washer. Insert bolt
through slots in both reel side plates so that nut is on gear side.
 Tighten only until snug with bolt in bottom of slot next to reel hub.

⚠WARNING
 Inspect before every use. Do not use if damaged or parts loose. Examine the Winch for structural
cracks, bends, damage, frayed or kinked cable, and any other conditions that may affect the safe
operation of the winch.
 Do not use the winch even if minor damage appears. Keep cable straight to avoid kinking it. A
kink permanently weakens the cable, even after it is straightened out. Kinked cable can fail
suddenly and must not be used.
 Do not use a recovery strap while winching. They are designed to stretch and can suddenly whip
back towards the operator during a winching operation.
