Vehicle Recovery Using The Winch
CAUTION!
Always Know Your Winch: Take the time to fully
read and understand the included Installation and
Operations Guide, and Basic Guide to Winching
Techniques, in order to understand your winch and
the winching operation.
Always inspect winch installation and wire rope
condition before operating the winch. Frayed,
kinked or damaged wire rope must be replaced
immediately. Loose or damaged winch installation
must be corrected immediately.
Always be sure any element which can interfere with
safe winching operations is removed prior to initiat-
ing winching.
Always keep remote control lead clear of the drum,
wire rope and rigging.
Inspect for cracks, pinches, frayed wires, or loose
connections. Replace if damaged.
Be careful not to pull the Winch Cable Collar
through the rollers. Watch and listen to Winch for
proper snugness.
1. Inspect the winch, winch mount, and wire rope for
damage. Do not use the winch if the mount is loose or
rope shows excessive wear or damage.
