Warnings and Cautions
Industry Canada This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter (identify the device by certiöcation number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
WARNING
WARNING
FCC Regulation This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rule. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. § 15.21 Information to user. The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modiöcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that form. As you read these instructions, you will see WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTICES and NOTES . Each message has a speciöc purpose. WARNINGS are safety messages that indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided could result in serious injury or death. CAUTIONS are safety messages that indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. A CAUTION may also be used to alert against unsafe practice. CAUTIONS and WARNINGS identify the hazard, indicate how to avoid the hazard, and advise of the probable consequence of not avoiding the hazard. NOTICES are messages to avoid property damage. NOTES are additional information to help you complete a procedure. PLEASE WORK SAFELY!
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD Failure to observe these instructions could lead to serious injury or death. Winching Safety: • Always 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. Protect parts from damage. • Always remove any element or obstacle that may interfere with safe operation of the winch. • Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand the load and the strap or chain will not slip. • Always use supplied hook strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out, during installation and during operation. • Always require operators and bystanders to be aware of vehicle and or load. • Always be aware of stability of vehicle and load during winching, keep others away. Alert all bystanders of an unstable condition. • Always unspool as much winch rope as possible when rigging. Double line or pick distant anchor point. • Always take time to use appropriate rigging techniques for a winch pull. • Never touch winch rope or hook while someone else is at the control switch or during winching operation. • Never engage or disengage clutch if winch is under load, winch rope is in tension or drum is moving. • Never touch winch rope or hook while under tension or under load. • Always stand clear of winch rope and load and keep others away while winching. • Never use vehicle to pull load on winch rope. Combined load or shock load can damage, overload and break rope. • Never wrap winch rope back onto itself. Use a choker chain or tree trunk protector on the anchor. • Never use remote when vehicle is not in line of sight of operator. • Never pair more than one winch and one remote together at the same time.
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD Failure to observe these instructions could lead to serious injury or death. General Safety: • Always Know Your Winch. Take time to fully read the Instructions and/or Operations Guide, and/or Basic Guide to Winching Techniques, in order to understand your winch and its operations, found online at www.warn.com . • Never exceed winch or winch rope rated capacity. Double line using a snatch block to reduce winch load. • Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling winch rope. • Never use winch or winch rope for towing. Shock loads can damage, overload and break rope. • Never use a winch to secure a load. • Never operate this winch when under the inøuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. • Never operate this winch if you are under 16 years of age. Installation Safety: • Always choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum pulling capacity of your winch. • Always use class 8.8 metric (grade 5) or better hardware. • Never weld mounting bolts. • Always use factory approved mounting hardware, components, and accessories. • Never use bolts that are too long. • Always conörm required bolt length to ensure proper thread engagement. • Always complete the winch installation and hook attachment before installing the wiring. • Always keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead opening during installation, operation, and when spooling in or out. • Always position fairlead with warning readily visible on top. • Always prestretch rope and respool under load before use. Tightly wound rope reduces chances of “binding”, which can damage the rope.
