• Always wear eye protection when working around a battery.
• Have the engine running when using the winch, to avoid flattening the battery.
27. Winch Cable:
• Be sure that the cable is in good condition and is attached properly.
• Do not use the winch if cable is frayed.
• Do not move the vehicle to pull a load.
• Do not replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength.
• The life of the cable is directly related to the use and care it receives. Following its first and
subsequent uses, a cable must be wound on to the drum urider a load of at least 500lbs
(230kg) or the outer wraps will draw into the inner wraps and severely damage the cable
during winching. The first winch use should be a familiarisation run while in a relaxed,
non-recovery situation. Spool out the cable until the red cable mark appears (about five
wraps on the drum), then rewind the cable on to the drum under a load of 500lbs (230kg)
or more. This will slightly tension and stretch the new cable and create a tight cable wrap
around the drum. Failure to do so may result in cable damage and reduced cable life.
• When the cable is replaced, be sure to apply Loctite, or an equal compund, to the cable
clamp thread. Tighten the clamp screw properly but do not overtighten. The locktite will
prevent loosening of the screw in arduous conditions. Loctite 7471 Primer and 222 Thread-
locker are recommended.
28. Do not attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
29. DO NOT drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way. Vehicle movement in combination
with winch operation may overload the cable, the winch itself or cause damaging shock loads.
30. Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an increased force is
suddenly applied to the cable. A vehicle rolling back on a slack cable may induce a damaging
shock luad.
31. The winches shown in this manual are solely for vehicle and boat mounted, non-industrial
applications.
21. Do not use winch in hoisting applications due to required hoist safety factors and features.
22. Do not use the winch to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
