SAFETY DEFINITIONS

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their explanations, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

DANGER  indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related (e.g., messages relating to property damage).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
• Do not use as a hoist for overhead lifting.
• Do not use this winch for lifting or moving people or animals. Never step over the cable/rope when operating under load. Always maintain a safe distance to the opposite side of the cable/rope when operating under load.
• Never exceed the rated capacity.
• Be aware that the cable/rope may break before the motor stalls.
• For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, always use a snatch block to reduce the load on the cable/rope.
• Do not use the winch to secure or hold a vehicle for an extended period of time.
• Always apply stop blocks to the wheels of the vehicle when on an incline.
• Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Do not use the winch to secure a vehicle for transporting purposes.
• Never move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) when operating the winch cable/rope.
• Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a load on the winch.

CAUTION

• Always use gloves to protect hands when handling the rope.
• Never let the rope slide through your hands.
• Do not wrap the rope around any object and hook it back onto itself.
• Duration of winching pulls should be kept as short as possible. If the motor becomes excessively 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.
• 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.
• Use hook strap when handling the hook for spooling or unspooling the rope.
