INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality winch. We design and build winches to strict specifications and with proper use and maintenance will bring you years of satisfying service. WARNING - Read, study and follow all instructions before operating this winch. Failure to heed these instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WINCH Your 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. You should practice using your winch before you are in a situation where you need to use it. 1. This winch is engineered for maximum line pull with only one layer of cable spooled onto the winch drum (the first layer).
11. Wireless Remote Control: allow you control winch up to 50 Ft away. 12. Universal Flat Bed Mounting Channel: Your winch could have been optionally 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. 13.
WARNING – The wire rope may break before the motor stalls. For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to reduce the load on the wire rope. WARNING -Never step over a cable, or go near a cable under load (in tension). WARNING - Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the winch cable. This could result in cable breakage. WARNING-Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use.
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 for intermittent use and should not be used in constant duty applications. CAUTION - Never disengage the clutch when there is a load on the winch. CAUTION – Use the hand saver hook when handling the hook for spooling or un-spooling the wire rope.
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. Pull only on parts of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
n. Clear the area. Make sure all spectators are back and that no one is directly in front or behind the vehicle or anchor point. o. Begin winching. Be sure that the wire rope is winding evenly and tightly around the drum. The vehicle that is being winched can be slowly driven to add assistance to the winching process. Avoid shock loads; keep the wire rope under tension. p. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in neutral and the emergency brake released.
major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load. 2. If your winch choices the mounting channel. Start by connecting the roller fairlead (Part# X1750900) to the mounting channel using 2 each of the cap screw M12 X 30 (Part# X1750025), lock washer (Part# X1750022) and securing (Make sure the screw is placed through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel.
7. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch knob to the “CLUTCH OUT” position. Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob to the “CLUTCH 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.
CAUTION Do not winch from an acute angle as the wire rope will pile up on one side of the drum causing damage to wire rope and the winch. Fig 3.2 Fig 3.2 Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the wire rope at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle. When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket over the wire rope five or six feet from the hook. In the event of a broken cable it Fig 3.3 will dampen the snap back.
6. While standing aside of the tow path, hold and operate the switch assembly supplied by your choice. To reverse directions, wait until the motor stops before reversing directions. 7. When the pulling is complete, remove the switch assembly (Part# X1751000). From the female connector of the directional valve and replace the female connectors cover. REPLACING THE WIRE ROPE If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of strands breaking, it must be replaced before being used again. 1.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE -Switch Assembly not connected properly -Loose battery cable connections Motor does turn on not SUGGESTED ACTION -Insert switch assembly all the way into the connector. -Tighten nuts on all cable connections. -Replace switch assembly. -Defective switch assembly -Check for voltage at armature port with Switch pressed. If voltage is present, replace motor. -Defective motor -Allow to drain and dry. Run in short bursts without load until completely dry.
