21. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
22. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH POWER LEADS TO BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON OR AROUND THE
WINCH DRUM so that Winch cannot be turned on accidentally.
23. When moving a load, slowly take up wire rope slack until it is taut. Stop, recheck all Winching connec-
tions. Be sure the hook is properly seated. If a nylon sling is used, check the attachment to the load.
24. When using a vehicle mounted Winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral (never in
Park), set vehicle hand-brake, and chock all wheels.
25. DO NOT USE THE WINCH TO HOLD LOADS IN PLACE. Use other means of securing loads such as
KEEPER brand tie-down straps. For tie-down information go to www.keepercorp.com
26. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED SWITCHES, ADAPTERS, REMOTE CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES.
Use of non-factory approved components may cause injury or property damage and could void your
warranty.
27. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such alteration may weaken the structural
integrity of the Winch and could void your warranty.
28. This is a 12 Volt DC Winch. CONNECT ONLY TO 12 VOLT DC BATTERY. DO NOT CONNECT WINCH TO
EITHER 110V OR 220V AC CURRENT AS WINCH WILL BURN OUT OR FATAL SHOCK WILL OCCUR.
This will void warranty.
29. Never allow shock loads to be applied to Winch or wire rope.
30. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WINCHING A LOAD UP AND DOWN A RAMP OR INCLINE/.

15. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING INSTRUCTION
LABELS ON THE WINCH.
16. It is highly recommended to lay a heavy cloth
(such as a blanket or tarp) over the wire rope
when pulling heavy loads (Figure 7). If a wire
rope failure should occur, the cloth will act as a
damper and help prevent the wire rope from
whipping. If mounted on the front of a vehicle
then raise the hood for further protection.
17. Always operate Winch with an unobstructed
view of the Winching operation.
18. Equipment such as hooks, pulley blocks, straps,
etc. should be sized for winch capacity and
periodically inspected for damage that could
reduce their strength.
19. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL CLUTCH WHEN
THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH.

20. NEVER WORK ON OR AROUND THE WINCH
DRUM WHEN WINCH OR WIRE ROPE IS UNDER
