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 5.
10. Wireless Remote Control: allow you control winch far from 50 Ft away. 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.
8000lbs-S: O UT IN 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.
Nut(Part# 800005) (Make sure the bolt is placed through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel. This will allow enough clearance for the winch to be placed in the channel without obstruction.) 3. Assemble the winch to the Mounting Channel (Part# 801000) by first pulling and releasing the clutch knob to “Off” position (Free Spooling). Pull out a few inches of cable from the drum and feed the wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting channel and roller fairlead.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING WARNING – DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY. WARNING – Intermittent use only. WARNING - Do not use winch in lifting or moving or persons. WARNING - A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is necessary for pulling and holding the rated load. The cable clamp is not designed to hold the load without 5 wraps of cable around the barrel. WARNING - Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the cable when under tension.
the winch not allowing the cable to slide through your hands. Do not let your hands get within 12″of the winch while respooling. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable is left. Disconnect the remote control and finish spooling by hand by rotating the drum by hand with the clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of the fairlead and drum while the winch is under power. Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead lifting.
GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION The C8000 and its all derivative types are rated at 8000 lbs capacity when spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the winch/motor/ or wire rope. For loads over 6800 lbs. we recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line. The will aid in two ways: a) reduce the number or rope layers on the drum, as well as, b) reduce the load on the wire rope by as much as 50%.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES Self Recovery Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder. Fig 3.1 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 the cable. As shown in Fig 3.1 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 Fig 3.3 Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the vehicle.
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. Do not attach the hook back onto the wire rope. g. Engage the clutch. h.
s. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes and place the vehicle in park. t. Release the tension on the wire rope. The winch is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods of time. u. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor. v. Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire already on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool from the point where the rope is tight. w. Keep your hands clear of the winch drum and fairlead as the wire rope is being drawn in. x.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED ACTION -Switch Assembly not connected properly -Loose battery cable connections -Insert Switch Assembly all the way into the connector. -Tighten nuts on all cable connections. -Defective Switch Assembly -Replace Switch Assembly. -Defective motor -Check for voltage at armature port with Switch pressed. If voltage is present, replace motor. -Water has entered motor -Allow to drain and dry. Run in short bursts without load until completely dry.
