•  Winches used incorrectly could cause harm to equipment or 

crew.

• Winches should be used with care and treated with respect.
• Sailing, like many other sports can be hazardous.  Even the 

correct selection, maintenance and use of proper equipment 
cannot eliminate the potential for danger, serious injury or 
death.

•  Lewmar winches are designed and supplied for line control 

in marine applications and are to be used in conjunction with 
appropriate clutches, cleats and other manual controls and 
stoppers.

•  It is the unavoidable responsibility of the owner or master or 

other responsible party to assess the risk of any operation on 
the vessel.

• Under no circumstances should any self tailing winch be used 

in self tailing mode for any lifting operation; rather suitable 
and adequate manual tailing should be arranged with proper 
means of manually cleating or stopping the hoist.

• Ever y winch should be installed with adequate means of 

manually cleating or stopping the loaded ropes.

•  Lewmar recommends the use of appropriate Personal 

Protective Equipment and hands free communication 
equipment  by any person going aloft, and only then where 
the person going aloft is properly trained in the use of that 
equipment and  where there remain suffi cient  trained and 
experienced personnel on deck to ensure constant observation 
and  the  continued  safe  conduct  both  of  the  vessel  and  the 
hoisting operation.

•  This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance 

with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do 
so could result in poor product performance, personal injury 
and/or damage to your boat.

•  Consult the boat manufacturer if you have any doubt about 

the strength or suitability of the mounting location.

• Make sure you have switched off the power before you start 

installing this product.

• If in doubt about installing electrical equipment please seek 

advice from a suitably qualifi ed electrical engineer.
