INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. CAUTION! Always release a load from the Hand Winch before performing
any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
2. Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Hand Winch. Check for
damaged or loose parts, and any other condition that may affect this product’s
safe operation. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use. Do not use damaged equipment.
3. The internal Gears of the Hand Winch should be greased at all times.
4. Periodically, apply an oil lubricant to the Pawl Lever. The Pawl Lever must
be free of grease, dirt, paint, rust, etc., as these conditions will prevent the Lever
from operating properly.
5. If the Hand Winch has been used in salt water rinse the entire unit
thoroughly with fresh water. Then lubricate all moving parts.
6. CAUTION! All maintenance, service, and repairs not discussed in this
manual should only be performed by a qualified service technician.

the Hand Winch by pulling the Pawl up to its vertical position.
8. Pull the Handle Assembly (11) clockwise to pull the load to the desired location.
WARNING! NEVER attempt to exceed the maximum load capacity of
the Hand Winch (900 pounds). Do not use this Hand Winch if there is any
doubt as to the actual weight of the load being moved.
9. After moving the object with the Hand Winch, secure the object. Raise the Lever
on the Handle Assembly (11) and disengage the Pawl (6) on the Hand Winch by
pushing the Pawl down to its horizontal position. Then disconnect the Strap &
Hook (21) from the load. Do not rely on the Hand Winch to hold an object for
an extended period of time.
