ELECTRICAL WINCH 80SPS12 80SPS24 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 8000lb 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. Motor: Your 4.
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.
1. Your 8000lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular vehicle and mounting channels. If you cannot find a kit locally, contact us and we will provide you with the name of a dealer near you. If you will utilize the mounting channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned.
7. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch knob to the “off” position (Free-spooling). Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob to the “In” position to engage the gears. Press the cable out button on the power switch. If the drum is turning and releasing more cable then your connections are accurate. If the drum is turning and collecting more cable then reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat and check rotation.
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. WARNING-When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the cable spools in the under-wind position with the cable entering the drum from the bottom, not the top.
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. CAUTION - Use hand saver hook when handling the hook for spooling or un-spooling the wire rope.
x x x 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. Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. RIGGING TECHNIQUES Self Recovery Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder. Fig 3.
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. Attach the hand saver hook to the clevis hook. e. Pull out the wire rope to your desired anchor point using the hand saver hook. f. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: Sling, chain or snatch block.
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# 800009) M8x10 on the drum and release the rope. 2. Insert the end of the new rope and secure the M6 x 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.
