GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION Your winch is a very powerful machine. If used unsafely or improperly there is a possibility that property damage or personal injury could result. Note: all safety references in this manual that refer to use of, ROPE, also apply to the use of, both, SYNTHETIC and WIRE ROPE. The responsibility for safe installation and operation of the winch and prevention of personal injury and property damage ultimately rests with you, the operator.
8. KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT ROPE AND HOOK WHEN OPERATING WINCH. Never put your finger through the hook. If your finger should become trapped in the hook, you could lose your finger. ALWAYS USE THE HANDSAVER when guiding the wire rope in or out. See Figure 2. Figure 2. 9. NEVER HOOK THE ROPE BACK ONTO ITSELF because you could damage the rope. Use a nylon sling, See Figure 3 Figure 3. 10. It is a good idea to lay a heavy blanket or jacket over the wire rope near the hook end pulling heavy loads.
20. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH POWER LEADS TO BATTERY BEFORE WORKING IN OR AROUND THE WINCH DRUM so that the winch cannot be turned on accidentally. 21. When moving a load, slowly take up the rope slack until it becomes taut. Stop, recheck all winching connections. Be sure the hook is properly seated. If a nylon strap is used, check the attachment to the load. 22.
PORTABLE USE WINCH2GO™ can be used in a portable fashion by using the supplied straps and shackles. Route the rear strap around a tree or secure anchor point, and secure the two loops to the two rear shackles on the WINCH2GO™ baseplate. ALWAYS be sure that straps do not contact sharp edges or hot surfaces. See Figure 6. Figure 6. Freespool the hook and winch rope out to the load and secure using the second supplied strap. ALWAYS be sure that the hook latch closes around the loop straps.
Figure 9. LOAD WINCH2GO™ WINCH2 GO™ The Pulley Block is recommended for heavy loads. Run the rope through the Pulley Block, and connect the hook back to the unit using the shackle and front shackle hole on the baseplate. See Figure 9. Do not use strap in single rigging when winch is doubled lined with pulley block.
(OPTIONAL) PERMANENT MOUNT An optional mounting arrangement is to use the two (2) internal bolt holes with the stiffening plate. For this option, place the winch Freespool in Disengaged, and spool off enough rope from the winch drum to insert the steel stiffening plate underneath the winch drum, if it was not Inserted during winch assembly. To resist the winching loads a minimum of 1/4” (6mm) mounting plate thickness should be used.
WIRING WINCH2GO™ comes fully pre-wired internally. The location of the Switch MUST NOT Interfere with safe operation of the vehicle and winch. Wiring MUST NOT come in contact with any moving parts or sharp edges, such as engine, winch drum, wire rope, straps, suspension, brakes, exhaust or steering. Connect the Battery Cables from the WINCH2GO™ to the battery and plug in the handheld controller. See Figure 12.
FREESPOOL OPERATION Freespool must be fully engaged before winching. See Figure 14. Never engage Freespool knob while drum is turning. Turn the freespool knob to the, “Disengaged” position as shown in Figure 13. If there is a load on the rope, the freespool knob may not pull out easily. DO NOT FORCE THE FREESPOOL KNOB. Release tension on the freespool by jogging out some of the rope. Release the freespool and pull out the rope and secure to the anchor or load.
