12. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR LIFTING OR MOVING PEOPLE!
13. YOUR WINCH IS NOT INTENDED FOR OVERHEAD HOISTING OPERATIONS.
14. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS FROM EXTREME ANGLES.
This will cause the wire rope to pile up on one end of the drum (FIGURE 6).
This can jam the wire rope in the Winch, causing damage to the wire rope or Winch.
15. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING INSTRUCTION LABELS ON THE WINCH.
16. Always operate Winch with an unobstructed view of the Winching operation.
17. Equipment such as hooks, pulley blocks, straps, etc. should be sized for winch capacity and periodically inspected for damage that could reduce their strength.
18. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL CLUTCH WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH.
19. NEVER WORK ON OR AROUND THE WINCH DRUM WHEN WINCH IS UNDER LOAD.
20. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
21. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH POWER LEADS TO BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON OR AROUND THE WINCH DRUM so that Winch cannot be turned on accidentally.
22. When moving a load, slowly take up wire rope slack until it is taut. Stop, recheck all Winching connections. Be sure the hook is properly seated.
If a nylon sling is used, check the attachment to the load.
23. 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.
24. DO NOT USE THE WINCH TO HOLD LOADS IN PLACE. Use other means of securing loads such as KEEPER
25. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED SWITCHES, REMOTE CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES. Use of non-factory approved components may cause injury or property
damage and could void your warranty.

27. 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.
28. Never allow shock loads to be applied to Winch, wire rope or synthetic rope.
29. Use extreme caution when winching a load up and down a ramp or incline.
30. Keep people, other than operator, pets, and property clear of Winching path, front, rear and sides for 100'.
Freespool Operation

THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH. DO NOT FORCE THE HANDLE. Release tension on the clutch by winching out some of the wire rope.
Release the clutch and pull out the wire rope and secure to anchor or load. Check that there are at least five (5) wraps of wire rope left
on the drum. Re-engage the drum by returning the clutch handle to the engaged position. (FIGURE 7)
