Remember, this winch is not for vehicle towing, so use it only for boat trailers or hoisting applications. When using, always engage the locking lever for safety.

The winch comes with a limited lifetime warranty (one - year finish, one - year parts), so if you have any issues, reach out to the manufacturer.
