WINCH Z 2500

• Always mount the winch and attach the hook to the rope’s end loop before connecting the electrical wiring.

• Always position fairlead with WARNING label on top.

• Always spool the rope onto the drum in the direction specied by the winch warning label on the winch and/or documenta-

tion. This is required for the automatic brake (if so equipped) to function properly.

• Always prestretch wire rope and respool under load before use. Tightly wound wire rope reduces chances of “binding”,

which can damage the rope.

• Always take time to use appropriate rigging techniques for a winch pull.

• Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand the load and the strap or chain will not slip.

• Never engage or disengage clutch if winch is under load, rope is in tension or drum is moving.

• Always select an anchor point as far away as possible. This will provide the winch with its greatest pulling power.

• Never winch with less than 5 wraps of rope around the drum. The rope could come loose from the drum.

• Never touch rope or hook while in tension or under load.

• Never touch rope or hook while someone else is at the control switch or during winching operation.

• Always stand clear of rope and load and keep others away while winching.

• Always be aware of stability of vehicle and load during winching, keep others away. Alert all bystanders of any

unstable condition.
