Standard Painted Winch Bar

WARNING: When tightening or loosening winches, always maintain a firm grip on the winch bar. Never release a winch bar without checking the pawl to ensure that it is fully engaged between ratchet teeth. Releasing a winch bar without the pawl being properly engaged, can cause serious injury to the user and/or bystanders. The use of a slip resistant handle winch bar, specifically designed to tighten or loosen winches, is recommended. Cargo Control USA winch bars should be used to tension and release tie-down assemblies. “Cheater Bars” (“extenders”) should not be used with the winch bars. User should stand clear of the winch bar handle during operation of the winch bar in case the winch bar slips. The tip of the winch bar should be inserted through both holes in the end cap to prevent the winch bar from “slipping out” and overloading the tip and/or end cap. Winches should not be loaded in excess of their working load limit. Winches should NOT be used as pulling or lifting devices. Webbing should be inserted through the slot, and a minimum of two (2) wraps on the winch reel bar.
