WARNING
When paying out cable from the hoist, LEAVE FOUR
FULL TURNS OF CABLE ON THE HOIST DRUM.
Otherwise, a load on the cable could pull it loose from the
drum and cause injury to personnel.
5. Turn the handle counterclockwise to lower the spare. To stop the winch at any
point, turn the handle in the clockwise (raise) direction until you hear two
clicks from the internal ratchet then release the handle. The brake will auto-
matically engage.
NOTE
Do not continue turning handle counterclockwise (lower)
if cable is not paying out, otherwise handle will unscrew
and the winch will become inoperative.
6. As cable unwinds, guide the tire so it doesnt suddenly drop from the truck,
otherwise the cable may snap. As the tire lowers, guide it between the fuel tank
and the fender. Lower the tire to the ground.
N O T E
If your hand should slip off the handle while lowering
then spare, the brake will automatically engage.
