Winch Operation
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs
before you actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your
winch as well as you can see it operate. Get to recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a
heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you will gain confidence in
operating your winch and its use will become second nature to you.
Operating
1. Ensure the vehicle is secure by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels.
2. Pull out the winch cable the desired length and connect to an anchor point.
The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling of the cable for hooking onto the load or anchor
point. The shifter tab located on the gear housing of the winch operates the clutch as
follows:
a) To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “OUT” position. Cable may
not be free spooled off the drum.
b) To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “IN” position. The winch is
now ready for pulling.
3. Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding.
4. Plug in the winch hand control. It is recommended that the winching operation takes place
from the driver’s position to ensure safe operation.
5. To commence winching operation, start vehicle engine, select neutral in transmission,
maintain engine speed at idle.
6. Operated the remote control switch to IN or OUT until the vehicle has been retrieved.
Regularly check the winch to ensure cable is winding onto the drum evenly.

MAINTENANCE
It is highly recommended that the winch be used regularly (once a month). Simply power
the cable out 15m, free spool 5m and then power back in. this will keep all components in
good working condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed. Contact your
authorized outlet for technical assistance and repairs.
