Be sure your winch has all the current needed to do the pull. More current equals less heat.

I have run my 8274 for as long as two to three minutes. The motor gets warm, not hot. I shut down all my 12 volt accesories including my ham radio (Switch to hand held) and run two batteries in parallel.

I say watch for excessive heat and you will be fine.
