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.
. 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.
· · · · · 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 6800lbs, 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.
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. 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.
REPLACING THE WIRE ROPE 1. If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of strands breaking, it must be replaced before being used again. To do this, remove the defective rope by free spooling. Remove the bolt (Part# 800008) M6x10 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.
