Using your CURT hand winch is simple. First, make sure it's properly mounted on your trailer. Then, attach the appropriate CURT winch strap (#29007, #29450, or #29451) to the load you want to pull. Grab the 7.5-inch handle with the plastic grip and start cranking. The 4.2:1 gear ratio makes the job easier. When you're done, use the locking lever to secure the winch. Here are some things to keep in mind. Don't use this winch for vehicle towing. Always check the winch before each use to make sure there are no signs of damage. For maintenance, keep the winch clean and dry. You can apply a light coat of lubricant to the moving parts occasionally. If you notice any issues, like a loose gear or a broken handle, refer to the limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts) for assistance.
