About the cable
- Before starting, make sure that the steel cable is correctly wound around the drum and the pitch is
equal to the cable diameter.
- Make sure the cable is in good condition and is attached properly.
- Do not use the winch if the cable is worn, frayed.
- Do not move the vehicle to pull a load.
- Please check and respect the maximum load listed on the label of the winch, neglecting the
capacity marked on the hook.
- If the steel cable is worn out, it must be replaced with an original or same specifications' cable, by
an authorized service centre. Do not replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength
About the battery
- Make sure the battery is in good condition. Avoid contact with battery acid and other
contaminants
- Always wear eye protection when working on a battery.
- Keep the engine running when using the winch in order not to make the battery flat.
About safety
- Keep away from the cable pulling line. If the cable should slip or break, it would "whiplash"
along this line.
- Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewelry clear of the winch when in use
- Ask another person to help you make sure the winch is operating safely. Make sure this person is
at a distance from the vehicle and the cable before starting the winch.
About the limits
- Never exceed the pulling limits of the winch.
- Never use the hand crank to "assist" the winch. This could damage the winch and cause injury.
