Transmitter Instructions
The Powerwinch RC30 and RC23 winches are equipped to operate with a radio
frequency remote transmitter and receiver module (located inside of winch cover).
Every transmitter and reciver module must be programmed by the operator to
communicate with one another before the initial use of the winch. Please refer to the
instructions below so that proper communication between the transmitter and receiver
module can be established.
TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
1. Place the transmitter in the palm of the hand. The button to the lower left is the power ON/OFF switch.
Press this button and the red LED will light indicating that the transmitter is powered up and ready for use.
The transmitter must be turned off after every use to preserve battery life.
2. The button in the upper right corner is the button that will be used to activate the Powerwinch. The
button to the upper left will not be used at this time.
If this is the your fi rst time using the Powerwinch please go to( Learning Your Transmitter ).
3. After the transmitter is learned to your Powerwinch just press the ON/OFF button to energize your
transmitter and then press the button to the upper right and your winch will start running.
Use extreme caution when using this system.

5. If the LED fails to light or the range of the transmitter has decreased change the battery in your
transmitter. It takes a A23 12 volt battery available at many stores.
