OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations! You have made the right choice by choosing the Powerhouse XM-100 Chainsaw Winch! Before you do anything else, read the XM-100 Owner’s Manual from cover to cover to learn how to operate your new Chainsaw Winch safely and efficiently. If you have any photos, movies and comments that you would like to share regarding your experience with the Powerhouse Chainsaw winch, please feel free to send them to us.
Cable Management • Replace cable when it shows signs of wear (frays, bends, kinks, etc.). • Use either 1/8” or 3/16” cables. Your new Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch comes with 150 feet of 3/16” aircraft cable. • For safety reasons, keep at least 10-20 wraps on the drum at all times. • Ensure that there is no slack on the cable before starting up your chainsaw. This prevents sudden jerking on the cable that could break the shear-pins of your Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch. This can cause the spool to free wheel.
Operating Tips • You have to make sure that the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch is anchored to something heavier and more solid than the object that you are trying to move. • To anchor your Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch to a tree, use a belt. Connect it directly to the winch, or use another cable or chain, as needed. • You can also use a vehicle as an anchor. Attach a cable or chain attached securely to the vehicle’s frame.
Using a Peavey Hook (not included) to anchoring your Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch Find a secure tree stump and put the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch on top. Make sure the Peavey Hook can get a good grip on the tree stump. As soon as you operate the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch, the load will generate an increase in tension on the cable and will result in a stronger anchoring of the Peavey Hook on the stump.
ASSEMBLY & MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS DIRECT MOUNT 1. Detach the bar and chain from the chain saw, leave the bar-mounting nuts. 2. Detach the spring-clip from the output shaft of the chainsaw 3. Detach the large washer from the output shaft of the chainsaw. If the chainsaw has a rim-sprocket, this must also be removed. 4. Re-attach the spring-clip, but do not re-attach the large washer. 5. Detach the washer from the input shaft of the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch.
Alternate UNIVERSAL MOUNT 1 1 Detach the bar and chain of the chain saw. Leave the bar-mounting nuts. Using 5/16” cap screws and washers, attach the universal adaptor to the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch. 2 1 Slip the rim-sprocket onto the output shaft of the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch. Do not remove the orange cup washer. Using the retained barmounting nuts, attach the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch Adaptor to the bar studs of the chainsaw.
3 1 Attach the supplied cutter-less chain around the sprocket of the chainsaw and the winch. Attach the chain using the supplied connecting link. 4 1 Hammer pins or attach spring clips to securely install side-plate.
5 1 Use the chain adjustment screw on the chain saw to adjust the chain tension. CABLE INSTALLATION 1. Using a gloved hand, firmly press the clutch handle then turn counter-clockwise to disengage the clutch. This will let the spool free wheel. Fully unwind the cable. 2. Pass the end of the cable through the fair lead then the hole in the spool. Wind the cable manually. TIP : For added safety, wrap a few coils of cable around the spool with duct-tape. 3.
