SAFETY WARNINGS READ INSTRUCTIONS ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES ALWAYS USE WINCH STRAP PINCH HAZARD KEEP FINGERS AWAY DO NOT USE WINCH TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE DO NOT USE WINCH TO HOIST 1. LEARN TO USE YOUR MILE MARKER WINCH: After winch has been installed, take some time and practice using it so you will be familiar with ALL OPERATIONS. Periodically check the winch installation to ensure that all bolts are tight. To ensure proper operation, carefully inspect for any damaged parts before operating the winch. 2.
PRECAUTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. Keeps hands and body away from fairlead (steel cable/synthetic rope intake slot) when operating. Secure vehicle in position before using winch. Do not exceed winch load weight capacity. Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that can hold the winch load. Always use proper couplings when connecting winch steel cable/synthetic rope hook to load. Do not lift items vertically.
GETTING STARTED Mounting Options When installing a winch, your installation may vary from the manual diagrams and instructions included here due to physical vehicle differences. Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle to before starting installation. If you choose not to use an ATV/UTV mounting kit you may be required to drill holes in a structural support on the ATV/UTV. Be sure the location will be strong enough to support the rated pulling force of the winch.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Be sure to mount control box in a location that: does not interfere with any vehicle’s moving/functioning parts, and use electrical cables with similar specifications as that provided by Mile Marker if a substitution is required. CAUTION: Battery cables should not be drawn taut, leave some slack for cable movement. Ensure that they are routed properly with out any interference with the vehicular components that could potentially damage the cable or cause electrical short.
WINCH OPERATION Function Testing After checking all connections in accordance to installation instructions prior, connect power cables to vehicle’s battery. Attach Black Cable to Negative (-) Battery Terminal and secure, followed by attaching the Red Cable to Positive (+) Battery Terminal. 1. Before testing the winch, turn the clutch handle to the “Freespool” position. Always wear heavy gloves when handling winch steel cable/ synthetic rope.
WINCHING TIPS & TECHNIQUES Winching Tips and Use of a Snatch Block • Use OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes or a clevis mount for attachment of a tow strap or winch steel cable/synthetic rope. Warning: Do not use a ball and/or ball mount as an anchor point for tow strap or winch steel cable/synthetic rope. Severe personal injury or death could occur. •Always heed all winch manufacturer’s recommendations, cautions, and warnings. • Attach return cable to tow hook or recovery eye when using a snatch block.
Self Recovery 1. Always attempt to get the steel cable/synthetic rope as straight as possible to the direction of the vehicle. It is acceptable to start a pull at an angle if it is obvious that the vehicle will turn towards the hook anchoring point. Turning the steering wheel will assist the process. It is recommended that the driver is in the vehicle. 2. Make sure hand brake and foot brake are free and that the transmission is in neutral. 3.
NOTE: For optimal winch performance, it is recommended that you use a fully charged 12V battery with at least 150 Cold Cranking Amperes. Further, it is advised to keep the engine running during the winch operation, so that the battery is being charged continuously. Motor Temperature ELECTRIC WINCHES ARE DESIGNED FOR INTERMITTENT USE ONLY. Do not run this winch at a high load for an extended period of time.
WINCH MAINTENANCE • All moving parts within the electric winch have been lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the factory. No further internal lubrication is required for the life of the winch. •If using steel cable, lubricate the steel cable periodically using light penetrating oil. • Electrical connections may corrode over a period of time due to environmental changes. This may result in reduced performance of the winch or even possible electrical shorting.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause Suggested Remedy Safety Switch is OFF Turn Safety Switch to ON position Switch assy not connected properly Insert Switch assy firmly to the connector Loose battery cable Tighten nuts on cable connectors Connection Solenoid malfunctioning Tap solenoid to free contact, applying 12 volts to coil terminal directly. It will make an audible clicking when activating.
