12551 ENGLISH

Do not use as a hoist . Do not use for overhead 
lifting .

WarNING

When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the 
cable spools in the under-wind position with 
the cable entering the drum from the bottom, 
not the top .

To re-spool correctly, and while wearing 
gloves, keep a slight load on the cable while 
pushing the remote button to draw in the 
cable . Walk toward the winch not allowing 
the cable to slide through your hands . Do not 
let your hands get within 12” of the winch 
while re-spooling . Turn off the winch and 
repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable 
are left . Disconnect the remote control and 
finish spooling by rotating the drum by hand 
with the clutch disengaged . Keep hands clear 
of the fairlead and drum while the winch is 
under power  .

WarNING

Use gloves to protect hands when handling 
the cable . Never let the cable slide through 
your hands .

CauTIoN

Never release the free-spool clutch when 
there is a load on the winch .

CauTIoN

Use hook strap when handling the hook for 
spooling or unspooling the wire rope .

CauTIoN

Do not wrap the cable around any object and 
hook it back onto itself .

CauTIoN

Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle 
when on an incline .

CauTIoN

Duration of winching pulls should be kept as 
short as possible .

If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to 
the touch, stop winching immediately and let 
it cool down for a few minutes . Do not pull for 
more than one minute at or near the rated load .

CauTIoN

If the motor stalls, do not maintain power to 
the winch .

Electric winches are designed and made for 
intermittent use and should not be used in 
constant duty applications .
