damaging the wire rope Moving or Tensioning Loads
Winding/unwinding the cable without load
1. Place the ratchet lever in the center position.
2. The cable reel now moves freely in both directions.
3. Pull the steel cable at the fixed hook until the hook can be attached to the load to be moved.
4. Wind back the excessive cable by turning the crank clockwise.
Winding up the cable under load (towing, loading)
1. Hold the crank firmly and push gently to relieve the ratchet lever.
2. Place the ratchet lever at position.
3. Turn the crank clockwise to evenly wind up the steel cable.
Unwinding the cable under load (lowering & unloading)
1. Hold the crank firmly and push gently to relieve the ratchet lever.
2. Place the ratchet lever at position.
3. The steel cable should be fully retracted again after use.
Ratchet switch
1. There are 3 positions for this ratchet switch: The higher position is for pulling, the lower position is
for releasing, the middle position is for both pulling and releasing, but can only be used when the
winch is loaded. Hold the crank handle tightly if you want to change the switch position.
2. Before using, install the winch on a firm and flat surface. To install it, put the ratchet switch on the
middle position and pull the cable out until the holes on the bottom of the base are visible. Then
use at least 3 sets of 3/8in. bolts and locking nuts, in a triangular pattern, to attach the base to the
surface. Use an extra metal or hardwood board when necessary.
3. Install the crank handle to the axis bolt with nut.
4. Put the ratchet switch on the higher position and turn the crank handle clockwise to pull. Put the
ratchet switch on the lower position and turn the crank handle counterclockwise to release.
5. When finished, attach the hook to the paw bushing.
After Each Use
 Wipe external surfaces of the winch with a clean cloth.
 Periodically, lubricate the wire rope with light oil. Lubricate the gear with gear grease.
Maintenance
⚠WARNING
 This winch has been fully lubricated at the factory; but, for continued smooth performance and
increased life, occasional greasing of gears and reel shaft and an occasional drop of oil on drive
shaft bearings are recommended.
 Periodically inspect all parts, steel cable, accessories and replace them if damaged or used.
