Check all safety and environmental conditions prior and during use.

The winches duty rating is S3 (intermittent – periodic)

Ensure that the winch is connected to the correct voltage of 12VDC only.

Check that the freespool shifter is in the “Engaged” position during and after use.

Remove the remote control from the winch when not in use.

Keep hands and clothes away from the winch, wire rope, and fairlead during operation.

Never unplug the remote control and battery leads when winching a load.

Before use, ensure that you are familiar with all winching performance and operation

such as speed & direction.

A wire rope should be replaced if it shows signs of excessive wear, broken wires,

corrosion or any other defects.

The winch is rated for intermittent-periodic duty.

Never operate the winch under water.

The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.

A minimum of five (5) wraps of rope around the drum are necessary to support the

rated load.

Operate the winch cable in and cable out at no load after a winch was ingressed

by water.

The rated line pull of the winch must be powerful enough to overcome the added

resistance caused by whatever the vehicle is stuck in.

If the winch fails to pull a load under normal conditions, stop the operation within

30 seconds otherwise motor damage may occur.

Do not wrap the wire rope around the load and back onto it self. Always use a strap

to ensure that the wire rope does not fray or kink.

To avoid insufficient power when winching a load, the vehicle should be running and

in neutral.

When winching a heavy load, lay a heavy blanket or jacket over the wire rope near to

the hook end

If excessive noise or vibration occurs when running, stop the winch immediately and

return it for repair.

WINCH & ROLLER FAIRLEAD MOUNTING 1. It is very important that the winch shall be mounted on a flat hard surface in order to make sure the motor, drum and gearbox housing are aligned correctly. 2. If a different mounting plate is used, the thickness shall be 5 mm (3/16”). If different hardware is used, it must be grade 8 minimum. 3. Four (4) included M8x 25L Grade 8.

HANDLEBAR REMOTE CONTROL MOUNTING Handlebar mounted trigger switch can be operated without removing your hand from the grip. It is recommended that the switch be installed on the left handlebar. A piece of electrical tape around the handlebar will help prevent rotation of mount on the handle bar. Do NOT tighten over any hoses or cables. OPERATION CABLE IN AND OUT 1). To determine “ Cable Out “, turn to the “Out” position 2). To determine “ Cable In “, turn to the “In” position 3).

FREESPOOL FUNTION The freespool allows rapid pay-out of the wire rope for hooking onto a load or anchor points and is operated by a freespool shifter located on the end of the winch. 1). To engage the freespool, turn the freespool shifter counter-clockwise to the “Engaged” position. The winch is now ready for pulling. 2). To disengage the freespool, turn the freespool shifter clockwise to the “Disengaged” position. Wire rope can now be free spooled off the drum.

7). It is very important that the winch shall be mounted on a flat surface, with the wire rope feeding form the bottom of the drum. 8). To rewind wire rope on the drum correctly , it is necessary to keep a slight load on the wire rope while cable in. LUBRICATION All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated at the time of assembly. Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice. If re-lubrication is necessary after repair or disassembly use a marine type grease.
