DANGER
Rope breakage.
1.
Never allow anyone to be positioned between anchor and winch. If rope breaks it could snap back and cause injury.
2.
If the included anchor roller is ever replaced it must be replaced by a closed loop anchor roller to prevent the anchor line from snapping onto the boat deck in the
event the rope breaks.
3.
Always use an anchor rope with minimum 500 pound break strength for this product. Never substitute cable for rope.
4.
This product is intended to lift short shanked river & mushroom anchors. Do not attempt to lift objects overhead.
5.
Inspect entire rope for weak or worn condition. Replace worn rope with anchor rope with a min. 500 lb break strength.
DANGER
Electrical shock and fire hazards.
1.
Do not use electrical wire sizes smaller than 12 AWG (gauge) with a 105-C temperature rating. Using wire that is too small could result in overloading and a fire.
Larger gauge wire is permitted.
2.
Use the supplied circuit breaker or a 20 amp in-line fuse when installing this winch.
3.
Always disconnect the battery lead wires from the battery before attempting to install, relocate, or service the winch.
DANGER
Cruising and boat trailering hazards.
As a precaution, when the boat is cruising the anchor must be secured with the safety cable provided. When the boat is being trailered, the anchor must be placed inside the
boat or tow vehicle. If the anchor breaks free during cruising or trailering, it could cause serious damage and/or injury.
WARNING
Entanglement hazards.
1.
Never place any object or tool in the rope spool while retrieving or deploying the anchor. The tool or object could become tangled in the rope resulting in serious
injury and/or damage to the winch.
2.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, scarves, or neck ties during the operation of the winch. Loose clothing may become caught in moving parts resulting in injury or
death.
3.
Do not operate the winch under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
CAUTION
Storage and maintenance.
For storage, it is best to disconnect positive wire from battery.
DANGER
Connecting the winch to battery power.
Do not use wire sizes smaller than 12 AWG with 105-degree C rated insulation. Using wire that is insufficient could result in overloading and a fire. The use of larger diameter
wire is encouraged and can improve the flow of electrical current. If longer wire is required, use the next larger wire size (10 AWG) for your installation. Use the supplied circuit
breaker or an in-line 20-amp fuse. Using incorrect circuit breakers may result in fire. Always disconnect battery wires from the battery before attempting to install, relocate, or
service the winch.
CAUTION
ROPE INSTALLATION
Anchor rope is pre-installed, but when you need to install new rope, insert the rope through the hole located on the inside of the spool/drum and tie an overhand
knot on the outside of the spool so the knot can be pulled into the countersunk hole on the outside end of the spool. Pull the rope so the knot is tight against the
counter sunk hole. Make sure the rope is not tangled and not looped around anything and is free to wrap on the spool. Hold tension of the rope while wearing a
glove. Press the “UP” direction on the switch and hold until the rope is neatly wrapped on the spool. Release the switch button at anytime during the wrapping of
the rope on the spool if an unsatisfactory wrap is occurring. The spool will hold as much as 100 ft of 3/16” (5mm) anchor rope. Use anchor rope with a minimum
of 500 pounds of break strength.
WIRELESS REMOTE IS PRE-PROGRAMMED AT THE FACTORY
It consists of a compact, sealed hand-held controller (sending unit) that allows push-button anchor operation
from any location within about 50 feet, and a receiving unit that is already installed in the winch. Also included is a remote bracket to store the remote and to allow the
remote to act as a panel switch if placed near the helm, or removed for portable use anywhere near the boat. The remote is pre-programmed at the factory for your specific
winch. One remote cannot operate two winches. Every remote has a unique code so there is no concern about having two remotes control one winch.
If re-programming the remote becomes necessary, follow the instructions below:
1.
Disconnect battery power.
2.
Press and hold any button on remote (do not release button until step 3).
3.
Re-connect battery power, continue to hold remote button for 2 seconds, then release.
4.
Test winch operation. Reprogram is necessary
