• Check battery cables at 90 day intervals to be certain that they are clean

and tight at all connections.

• Inspect the wire cable before and after each winching operation.

Replace when damaged.

Operating The Winch

 NOTE: Read and understand the winch operating instructions before

operating the winch. Keep the Winch Operator’s Manual with the ATV at

all times.

Stretching Wire Cable

The life of a wire cable is directly related to the care and use it receives. Dur-

ing its first use, a new wire cable must be spooled onto its drum under a load

of at least 227 kg (500 lb). Spool out the wire cable to the last 5 wraps on the

drum; then power in the wire cable under a load of 227 kg (500 lb) or more.



NOTE: Stretching the new wire cable will help create an even and

tight wire wrap around the drum. Failure to do so will cause binding and

possible damage to the wire cable.

Spooling Out

Freespooling is generally the quickest and easiest way to spool out wire

cable. Before freespooling wire cable from the winch, “power out” enough

cable to remove any cable tension; then turn the winch selector knob to the

“freespool” position. Manually freespool out enough wire cable for the

winching operation.

! WARNING

Read, follow, and understand the operating procedures to ensure

personal safety and long winch life. Extreme caution must be exer-

cised when winching and spooling. Observe all caution and warn-

ing labels at all times. Read the Operator's Manual thoroughly

before using the winch.

CAUTION

Prolonged winch operation can lead to deep cycling of the battery.

Failing to allow adequate charging time for the ATV battery could

result in power failure or damage.
