WINCHING PRECAUTIONS
 WARNING: Using winch ropes is dangerous and should only be done by a person familiar with proper vehicle recovery safety practices. Improper use of winch ropes could cause hook failure or separation from the vehicle. WARNING: Slowly remove the slack from the winch rope prior to pulling. Failure to do so can introduce significantly higher loads which could cause the winch rope to break off, or the winch rope to fail. WARNING: Never link two winch ropes together with a clevis pin. These heavy metal objects could become projectiles if the winch rope breaks. WARNING: When using the winch, take care not to get your fingers or hands caught in the mechanism. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. WARNING: Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing or jewelry when winching. WARNING: Make sure to wear eye protection when winching.
