ELECTRICAL WINCH 12SPS12 12SPS24 Assembly & Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a winch. We design and build winches to strict specifications and with proper use and maintenance should bring you years of satisfying service. WARNING - Read, study and follow all instructions before operating this device. Failure to heed these instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage. Your winch can develop tremendous pulling forces and if used unsafely or improperly could result in property damage, serious injury or death.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WINCH Your 12000lb winch is a powerful piece of machinery. It is important that you understand the basics of its operation and specifications so that when you need to use it, you can use it with confidence and safety. Below is a list of the components of your winch and their use. Practices using your winch before you are in a situation to need to use it. 1.
11. Universal Flat Bed Mounting Channel: Your winch has been optional supplied with a flat bed mounting channel that can be mounted to most flat surfaces such as trailers, step bumpers, truck beds, etc. The mounting channel also has holes to accept your roller fairlead. 12. Snatch Block: If Your winch were supplied with a snatch block that, used properly, can double the pulling power of winch, or change your pulling direction without damaging the wire rope.
properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load. 2. Start by connecting the Roller Fairlead (Part# 120700) to the Mounting Channel (Part# 120025) using 2 each of the Cap Bolt M10 X 35 (Part# 120002), Flat Washer (Part# 120004), Lock Washer (Part# 120003) and securing with M10 Nut(Part# 120024) (Make sure the bolt is placed through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel.
. Assemble the Clevis Hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the Clevis Hook, connect the Clevis Hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the Clevis Hook. 7. Always use the Hand Saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope. Using the Hand Saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the rotating drum. 8. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch knob to the “off” position (Free-spooling).
WARNING-Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use. WARNING- Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch intermittently to take up the slack in the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate capacity for the wire rope and drum. WARNING- Do not exceeds maximum line pull ratings shown on the tables.
Duration of winching pulls should be kept as short as possible. If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to the touch, stop winching immediately and let it cool down for a few minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load. CAUTION - If the motor stalls do not maintain power to the winch. Electric winches are designed and made of intermittent use and should not be used in constant duty applications. CAUTION - Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a load on the winch.
x x x x x Never connect the cable back to itself. This will cause cable damage. Always use a snatch block, sling or chain of suitable strength as shown in the illustrations. Store the remote control inside your vehicle in a place that it will not be damaged. Any winch that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn, or operates abnormally SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED. It is recommended that the necessary repairs be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility.
For pulls over 10000lbs, we recommend the use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the wire rope. Fig 3.4 Fig 3.4 This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the rope by approximately 50%. WARNING - Never use your winch for overhead hoisting or for lifting people or moving people. Fig 3.5 WINCHING TECHNIQUES A-Z a. Take time to asses your situation and plan your pull. b. Put on gloves to protect your hands. c. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling and also save battery power. d.
p. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in neutral and the emergency brake released. Only release the brake pedal when under full tension. Avoid shock loads to the winch. This can damage the winch, rope and vehicle. q. The winch is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single line rig do not power in for more than a minute without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes and then resume the winching operation. r.
defective rope by free spooling. Remove the bolt (Part# 120009) M8x10 on the drum and release the rope. 2. Insert the end of the new rope and secure the M8x 10 mm bolt tightly. 3. Engage the clutch and re-spool the new rope on the drum keeping tension on the rope as it spools. Ensure that the rope is respooling in the under wind position. WARNING - Only replace the wire rope with the identical replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
