Use your winch with as much rope out as possible to maximize the available pulling power of your winch. However,
always maintain a minimum of 5 wraps of rope on the drum when winching on the first layer of the drum.
To double the pulling power of your winch, use a snatch block (sold separately) set up to a fixed anchor and
route the winch line through the snatch block and back to a recovery point on the winching vehicle. Note that
using a snatch block in this manner will reduce the recovery speed. Refer to the user manual for more
information.
Selecting a winch with a higher rated load ensures that you have excess pulling power available throughout the
layers of winch line, allowing for longer pulls before the winch needs to cool.
