OPERATION WARNING
Note: If a winch is to be used to pull a vehicle, it should optimally be rated to a
single line pull at least twice the vehicle’s weight.
Leave at least five full turns of wire rope on the drum.
1.Examine the wire rope. Do not use the winch if the wire rope is frayed,
kinked, or damaged.
2.Fully charge the vehicle’s battery.
3.Check the winch’s electrical connections. All connections must be tight and
clean.
4.Put the vehicle’s transmission in ‘Neutral’.
5.If the vehicle (where the winch is mounted) is not supposed to be moved,
engage the emergency brake and block the wheels using wheel chocks (sold
separately).
6.Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap, tree strap, or chain. See
the following picture.
8.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.
9.Place a heavy rag or carpet (sold separately) over the wire rope span 6 feet
from the hook to help absorb the force released, if the wire rope breaks.
7.The attachment point must be centered in loop of the hook and the hook’s
safety clasp must be fully closed. See the following picture.

Do not wrap the wire rope around the object and hook onto the wire rope itself.
This can damage the object being pulled, and kink or fray the wire rope.
