This is not a flame, so don't take as such, but NEVER operate any kind =

winch from this postion, should the cable (more properly wire rope) =

under load while you are in the exposed position near the winch drum you =

likely to be seriously injured. EVERYONE should be the ropes spooled =

length + (to allow for stretching) radius away from bumper. Even when =
load=20
not heavy, rope can become snagged or tangled and overload, and shear =
pins=20
don't always shear when they are supposed to.
Only replace shear pin with proper shear pin, never use bolts, nails, etc.
