INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality 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.
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).
10. Remote Switch: The Power switch leads have a dual switch for powering in or powering out your winch drum. The remote switch allows you to stand clear of the wire rope when the winch is under load. 11. Wireless Remote Control: allow you control winch far from 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.
WARNING – Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the cable when it is under tension. 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. WARNING – Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on the winch cable. This could result in cable breakage.
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 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.
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight before each operation. 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.
m. Drape a blanket or jacket over the wire rope approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook. Open the hood for added protection. 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.
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. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load. 2.
6. 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 “CLUTCH OUT” position.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES Self-Recovery Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder. Always use a sling as an anchor point. CAUTION Do not attach the clevis hook back onto the cable as this could cause damage to Fig 3.1 the cable.As shown in Fig 3.1 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.
WINCH WORKING DEMONSTRATION 1. Disengage the clutch by turning the clutch to the “CLUTCH OUT” position. 2. Grab the cable assembly (Part# X951000) and pull the cable to the desired length, then attach to item being pulled. Caution: Always leave at least five turns of cable on the drum; Review winch safety warnings and precautions on page 2、3 before continuing. 3.
6. Retract Cable Assembly onto drum, first five wraps being careful not to allow kinking, then winch cable must be wound onto the drum under a load of at least 10% rated line pull. WARNING - Only replace the wire rope with the identical replacement part recommended by the manufacturer. MAINTENANCE 1. Periodically check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove all dirt or corrosion and always keep clean. 2. Do not attempt to disassemble the gear box. 3.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM Motor does turn on POSSIBLE CAUSE -Switch Assembly not connected properly -Loose battery cable connections not -Defective switch assembly -Defective motor -Water has entered motor Motor runs but cable drum does -Clutch not engaged not turn SUGGESTED ACTION -Insert switch assembly all the way into the connector. -Tighten nuts on all cable connections. -Replace switch assembly. -Check for voltage at armature port with Switch pressed. If voltage is present, replace motor.
