ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Use the included insulating
boots on exposed connections to
prevent electrical shorting. Route
battery connection cables in areas
which will not cause them to
chafe or cut through the insulation
causing a potential short circuit.
Upon completion of
installation, check winch for proper
operation.
WARNING
Never route
electrical cables
across sharp
edges.
WARNING
Never route
electrical cables
near parts that
get hot.
WARNING
Never route
electrical cables
through or near
moving parts.
WARNING
Always place
the supplied
terminal boots
on wires and
terminals as
directed by
the installation
instructions.
Battery Recommendations
A fully charged battery and
good connections are essential
to the proper operation of your
winch. The minimum requirement
for a 12 volt DC battery is 650 Cold
Cranking Amps.
WARNING
Always insulate
and protect all
exposed wiring
and electrical
terminals.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remote Control Switch
Do not leave the remote
plugged into the winch when not in
use. Leaving the remote plugged
in, may result in a dangerous
condition and/or battery drain.
Clutch Operation
When the clutch is engaged,
the gear train is coupled to the rope
drum and power can be transferred
from the winch motor. When the
clutch is disengaged it is in the
freespool position and the gear
train and rope drum are uncoupled
allowing the drum to rotate freely.
The clutch lever, located on
the winch housing opposite the
motor, controls the clutch position.
To prevent damage, always fully
engage or fully disengage the clutch
lever.
Vertical/Horizontal Remote:
Disengaged:
Engaged:
WARNING
Never engage or
disengage clutch
if winch is under
load, winch rope
is in tension or
drum is moving.
Spooling Out
Freespooling is generally the
quickest and easiest way to spool
out rope. Before freespooling
rope out from the winch, power
out enough rope to remove any
tension the rope might be under.
Disengage the clutch. Then
freespool by manually spooling
out enough rope for the winching
operation. See The Basic Guide
to Winching Techniques for more
information.
Always leave at least 10
wraps of rope on the drum.
WARNING
Never operate
winch with less
than 10 wraps
of rope around
the drum. Rope
could come
loose from the
drum, as the
rope attachment
to the drum is
not designed to
hold a load.
WARNING
Always
take time to
fully understand
your winch and
the winching
operation by
reviewing The
Basic Guide
to Winching
Techniques
included with
your winch.
NOTICE
Do Not power-
out rope more
than 30 ft.
without allowing
the winch to cool
for 20 minutes
before powering
rope back in.
Instead, place
the clutch in
freespool and
pull the rope off
by hand.
