To reduce the risk of injury or death, read and follow the Winch Owner’s Manual prior to use. Never let anyone come between the winch and pulled object or the winch and anchor point. Do not use the winch unless all bystanders are a safe distance away. Use hook strap to keep hands away from fairlead when winding the winch rope.
Prolonged winching can overheat the winch motor and can drain the vehicle’s battery, even when the engine is idling. Allow the winch motor to cool and the battery to recharge between uses.
