Pre-Use Inspection & Safety Prep

Before any winching operation, thoroughly inspect the steel cable for kinks, frays, or wear. Ensure all connections are secure. Clear the area of bystanders and obstructions to create a safe work zone for the recovery.

Connecting the Remote & Starting the Pull

Connect the wired remote control for clear line-of-sight operation. Stand to the side of the winch and cable path, not directly in front or behind. Use smooth, steady control to begin the pull, monitoring the cable for even spooling on the drum.

Post-Recovery Cable Management

After the recovery, slowly retract the steel cable onto the drum. Guide it by hand (with gloves) to ensure neat, even spooling. Once fully retracted, secure the hook and store the remote, keeping the winch ready for its next use.
