3.3.4 Using the Tree/Pole Mount with rubber pads (PCA-1263, sold separately)

1) Place the tree/pole mount at the base of the tree or pole. Insert the sling’s hook into the

system (figure 1, no 2);

2) Slide the whole set-up upward to the desired height (figure 2);

3) Tighten the sling with the wrench supplied while making sure the rubber pads are

properly positioned. The pads should offer maximum contact surface with the tree or pole

(figure 3);

4) Install the receiver hitch (without the square tubing) and fasten it with the hitch pin and

‘’R’’ pin (figure 4).

5) Attach the winch anchor hooks to the eye bolts (figure 5);

6) Wrap the rope around the drum and start winching. The winch will align itself

or a roller to prevent damage to the winch support plate.

After pulling for a few seconds with the tree/pole mount, release the

tension off the Portable Winch

. Check the solidity of the installation and tighten the

sling again.
