SPECIAL WARNINGS WHEN USING THE ELECTRIC WINCH
There is no problem if the cable is rewound unevenly while pulling a load unless there is a
pile-up of the cable at one end of the drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the
load and move the anchor point further to the centre of the vehicle.
When the job is done, we recommend unwinding the cable and then rewinding it neatly.
Store the remote control inside the vehicle where it will not be damaged and inspect it before
use.
Never connect a hook to the cable. This could damage the cable. Always use a sling or chain of a
suitable strength.
Watch your winch while it is in operation; if a vehicle is used, keep at a safe distance.
First get a few feet out to ensure the cable is not pulling just on one side.
A jammed cable can break the winch.
The winch hook must be attached to the vehicle frame.
Do not attach two hooks to the winch mounting apparatus. They must be attached to the
vehicle frame,
As the greatest pulling power is achieved on the innermost layer of the winch, it is advisable
to unwind as much cable as you can for heavy loads (remembering to leave at least 5 turns
on the drum). If this is not practical, use a snatch block and double line arrangement.
A neat, tight winding prevents the cable from twisting and being pinched when a load is
applied. If the cable should become twisted and pinched, power the winch and unwind and
then rewind a few inches of the cable.
Do not use a twisted cable under load, unwind it by hand.
Apply blocks to wheels if the vehicle is on an incline
Advice
1. This winch has a major functional difference compared with same models commonly available
on the market: the clutch is a gear clutch while other common winches have friction clutch.
The operator should pay particular attention to this point.
