Important Safety Information
⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the electric winch in confined work
areas may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts.
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the electric winch.
Always make sure you have control of vehicle and area around it. Make sure no personal or
property damage can occur if vehicle rolls back during winching operation.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the electric winch.
Do not use the electric winch while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSIZ87.1 compliant safety
goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in
dusty work conditions. Also, use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance.
⚠CAUTION
WINCH USE AND CARE
Inspect before every use. Do not use if parts are damaged, loose or missing. Examine the winch
for structural cracks, bends, damage, frayed or kinked rope and any other conditions that may
affect the safe operation of the winch. Do not use the winch even if minor damage appears. A kink
permanently weakens the rope, even after it is straightened out; kinked rope can fail suddenly and
must not be used.
Do not force the winch. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for which
they are designed. Plan your work and use the correct product for the job.
Store the winch in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children when it is not in use. Inspect the
tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the
tool itself.
Never use the winch to secure a load or as a tie-down. Leaving a load on the winch line for an
extended period of time or during transportation can damage winch rope and gears.

Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY
To prevent injury or property damage, read and understand all instructions before operating
winch.
Wear ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety goggles and heavy-duty leather work gloves during operation.
Do not exceed the rated load capacity. Be aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load movement
may briefly create excess load causing product failure.
INSTALLATION SAFETY
Choose a mounting location that can support the winch and rated load capacity.
Do not weld mounting bolts.
Use supplied power cords and rope listed in manual only. Do not use thinner/longer cables or link
multiple cables together.
Keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop, hook, and fairlead opening during installation,
operation and when spooling in or out.
Wrap the rope under 500 lbs. of tension before use. Otherwise, the rope may bind during
operation.
Do not route electrical cables near sharp edges or parts that will move or become hot.
Work in a well-ventilated area. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate and explode when ignited
by a spark or open flame.
Only connect to a clean, corrosion-free battery.
Remove all jewelry and metallic objects before working near battery.
WINCHING SAFETY
Inspect winch rope, hook and slings before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged winch
rope must be replaced immediately. Damaged components must be replaced before operation.
Do not maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls. Verify the load is within the rated capacity
for the rope layer. Make sure the battery is fully charged. Use double-line rigging whenever
possible.
Do not engage or disengage clutch while under load.
Always ensure hook latch is closed and not supporting load.
Never apply load to hook tip or latch. Apply load only to the center of hook.
Never use a hook that has been bent, warped, or twisted.
Keep clear of fairlead when operating. Do not try to guide rope.
Do not place any fingers through the hook. Fingers may be caught and get pulled into the fairlead
or drum. Use the included strap to hold the hook instead.
Stay out of the direct line that the rope is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it will create a whiplash
effect. Utilize a winch dampener to help absorb the force released if the rope breaks.
Do not use for overhead hoisting. This winch is intended to be used for pulling only.
Use a spotter to assist you with safe operation of the winch. Make sure the spotter is out of the
way of the vehicle and the rope before activating the winch.
Do not use the hand crank, if equipped, to assist the winch.
Do not use vehicle to pull on the rope and “assist” the winch.
Do not use to transport people or animals.
Rev.081022 Page 6 of 22 FUS-20852000-0031
Disconnect battery cables before working near the rope, drum, fairlead or load to prevent
accidental starting.
Keep rope straight to avoid kinking the rope.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating.
Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap, or chain. Do not wrap the rope around the
object and hook onto the rope itself.
Do not use a recovery strap while winching.
Secure the load after moving. Do not lock the mechanism.
Keep at least five (5) full wraps of rope on the winch drum.
Keep clear of the rope, hook, and load while winching. Do not step over the rope or apply
pressure to the rope under tension. The rope might break and cause personal injury.
If the rope begins to get entangled, stop the winch immediately and release the rope using the
switch.
Only winch with the winching vehicle’s transmission placed in neutral. Winching with a vehicle’s
transmission in gear or park may damage the transmission. A vehicle’s transmission is not
designed to handle this type of load.
Do not operate the winch on extreme slopes. Do not exceed 45° from center line of vehicle for a
roller fairlead. For a Hawse fairlead, the angle should be as close to vehicle center line as
possible.
People with pacemakers should consult their physicians before use. Electromagnetic fields near
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or failure.
Remove all obstacles before operation.
Always use supplied hook strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out, during installation, and
during operation.
Always take time to use appropriate rigging techniques for winch pull.
Intended Use
This electric winch is intended for vehicle recovery. It is intended only for consumer use and not intended
for commercial use. Always operate this winch within the specified duty cycle with extreme caution. Read
all Warnings and Cautions before operation of this winch and keep bystanders away from winch and
vehicles being used during winching activity.

the winch’s
capacity. It must be flat and strong enough
to remain flat at maximum winch capacity. The winch must sit flat on winch mount with no gaps
under drum supports. It must have the hole pattern shown below.
Align the winch perpendicular to centerline of
the
vehicle at the desired
location a
nd mark the

on
additional bracing, depending on the mounting
location.

hardware
at the marked
locations.
4. Install the winch using
