Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements. ⚠WARNING This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. ⚠WARNING WORK AREA SAFETY Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your electric winch. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool itself. Specific Operation Warnings ⚠WARNING GENERAL SAFETY To prevent injury or property damage, read and understand all instructions before operating winch. Wear ANSI Z87.
Stay out of the direct line that the wire rope is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it will create a whiplash effect. Utilize a winch dampener to help absorb the force released if the wire rope breaks. Do not use for overhead hoisting. This winch is intended to be used for pulling only. Use a spotter to assist you in ensuring that it is safe to operate the winch. Make sure the spotter is out of the way of the vehicle and the wire rope before activating the winch.
Remove the winch after use. Do not drive vehicle with winch temporarily mounted. Temporary Winch Mounting 1. Use the adapter plate (31) to temporarily attach the winch to a hitch ball on a vehicle. 2. The adapter plate has three pre-mounting plate stud bolt (38)/Nut (30)/Lock Washer (29) sets. Push the bolt heads into the keyhole slots on the bottom of the frame assembly (34) and slide them into the narrow section of the keyholes. 3.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part of the body to route the wires, be sure to install a rubber grommet in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that point. 3. Route the cables (44) from the solenoid to the battery and from the solenoid to the winch, following the precautions discussed above. 4. Remove the red battery clamp from the red wire and attach the wire to the positive (+/red) terminal of the battery. 5.
Operating Instructions ⚠WARNING • Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual, including all text under subheadings before set up or use of this electric winch. • The instructions that follow are basic guidelines only and cannot cover all situations encountered during use. The operator and assistants must carefully plan usage to prevent accidents. Components and Controls Basic Operation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Examine the wire rope.
6. To pull out the wire rope, disengage the clutch control by loosening two lock nuts and turning the clutch knob (19) counterclockwise, to loosen it. Slide the loop of the hook strap over the hook and then pull on the hook strap to pull out the wire rope. ⚠WARNING Leave at least five full turns of wire rope on the drum. 7. 8. Hook onto the object using a pulling point. Do not wrap the wire rope around the object and hook onto the wire rope itself.
15. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at an angle in relation to the winch, use a pulley (sold separately) and an anchor point directly in front of the winch, as shown in the illustration below, to keep the wire rope pulled straight. 16. Do not continue to use the winch until the battery is drained. 17. When possible, keep the engine running while using this winch, to continually recharge the battery and prevent the battery from being drained so much that the vehicle cannot start.
if the winch is submerged, it should be opened, dried, and re-lubricated by a qualified technician as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. Troubleshooting ⚠WARNING • Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the tool. • Disconnect power supply before service. Use the table below to troubleshoot problems before contacting service personnel or your local dealer. If the problem continues after troubleshooting, call your local dealer for assistance.
