SYSTEM CHECK
Before using the winch, verify the following:
Wiring to all components is correct. All loose wires are cable tied tight.
There are no exposed wiring or terminals (cover any existing exposures
with insulator plate), terminal boots, heat shrink tubing, or electricians’
tape.
The solenoid is properly grounded.
Turn ATV key switch to ON position. Check winch for proper
operation.
Testing The Winch And Controls
1. With the ignition switch off and the key removed, turn the winch
selector knob to the “freespool” position. Pull out approximately two to
three feet of cable from the winch reel.
2. Turn the winch selector knob to the “engaged” position; then insert the
ignition key into the ignition switch, and turn to the ON position.
3. Place the winch control in the “IN” position and observe the movement
of the winch cable. If the cable does not wind onto the reel in the proper
direction, reverse the lead connections on the winch motor terminals
and test the winch again.
NOTE: The cable must wind and spool from the top of the reel.
NOTE: The wire cable must always spool onto the drum as indicated
by the drum rotation decal on the winch frame.
CAUTION
KNOW THE WINCH: Take time to fully understand the winch and the
winching operation.
