⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING & LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
Please read carefully before purchasing or operating this product. By purchasing this product, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Over-Volt Operation & No Low-Voltage Cutoff: Delivering raw 18V power directly to a 12V winch system operates without a voltage step-down or a low-voltage automatic cutoff circuit. Running a battery completely flat will permanently damage the battery cell structure. You are entirely responsible for manually monitoring battery levels and operating temperatures during use.
Equipment & Battery Risk: Salt City Steel is an independent manufacturer. Utilizing lithium-ion power tool batteries outside of their intended manufacturer ecosystem carries inherent risks of cell damage, thermal runaway, electrical shock, or fire. Use of this adapter with third-party batteries is done entirely at the user's risk.
Equipment Damage Disclaimer: Salt City Steel is not responsible or liable for any damage caused to your winch, batteries, tools, or electrical components during the assembly, installation, or operation of this modified setup. Running higher voltage through a 12V system is done entirely at your own risk.
Strictly No Overhead Hoisting: This product is absolutely NOT designed, rated, or approved for use as an overhead hoist. Never use this setup to lift, suspend, or support vertical loads.
Assumption of Risk: This is a DIY modification component kit. Salt City Steel does not formally rate or guarantee this custom setup for specific recovery, lifting, or winching capacities. Use of this product is entirely at your own risk. Salt City Steel accepts zero liability for property damage, equipment failure, personal injury, or accidental death resulting from the assembly, misuse, or operation of this product.
