unfamiliar with the operating instructions to use this product.

!

Read, understand and follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the product(s) that this winch 
will be installed on.

!

Installation, use and maintenance of these Fulton winches must conform to the following instructions only.  

!
!

!

DO NOT use this winch as a human hoist.  NEVER allow anyone to be positioned on, around or under the 
load being lifted or moved.

!

Never exceed the maximum rated capacities.

!

Always inspect the cable and hook before each use to make sure that they are not damaged.  If the cable or 
hook breaks, the cable will whip violently and can inflict serious injury and/or property damage.

!

Never use worn, kinked, or frayed cable.  Replace the cable immediately.

!

Always maintain a minimum of three complete wraps of cable on the drum.

!

The cable on the winch must be strong enough to support the load to be moved.

!

A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be heard when lifting the load.  If a loud clicking sound is not 
heard do not use and replace ratchet components immediately. 

!

Never release the crank handle unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged and the load is supported.

!

Never operate with slippery, wet or oily hands and always maintain a firm grip on the winch handle.

!

Never leave a weight hanging from the winch while the winch is unattended, as another person may attempt 
to operate the winch, thereby creating an unsafe condition.

!

Failure to follow these warnings and instructions will result in property damage, serious bodily injury and/or 
death.

Fulton cannot be held liable for improper installation, use, or maintenance of this product.
Do not get oil or grease on the friction disks.  This could allow the load to slip or fall.

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turning the handle counter-clockwise actuates the brake.  The brake system is designed to hold the load 
whenever the handle is released.
TO PULL CABLE IN OR RAISE LOAD
1)  The cable must be securely fastened to the object being lifted and to the winch drum.
2)  Always be sure that the cable and cable attachments are not damaged and are strong enough for the load.  
Assure there is adequate safety factor, of at least three times the maximum load for all components used.
3)  Referring to the "Cable In/Cable Out" decal on the winch, turn the handle clockwise to lift.  The ratchet 
MUST make a loud clicking sound.
TO LET CABLE OUT OR LOWER LOAD 
1)  Referring to the "Cable In/Cable Out" decal on the winch, turn the handle counter-clockwise to lower.  No 
clicking will be heard because the brake system is activated.

MAINTENANCE

Do not get oil or grease on the friction disks.  This could allow the load to slip or fall.
1)  Maintain a film of automotive type grease on all gear teeth and to the O.D. of drum bearing, item #17, at all 
times.
2)  Keep ratchet pawl pivot, bushings and pinion threads lubricated with automotive engine oil at all times.
3)  Check brake friction disks for wear.  If less than 1/16" thick, cracked, or broken, they must be replaced.
4)  During each usage, check for proper ratchet operation. When cranking cable in, a loud clicking sound must 
be heard from the ratchet.  If a loud clicking sound is not heard, do not use and replace damaged components 
immediately.  When cranking cable out, there is no clicking and the ratchet pawl must be fully engaged into the 
ratchet gear teeth.
5)  Before each usage, inspect fasteners for proper tightness.  

1)  Assemble handle onto input shaft end.  

Tighten the 1/2-13 locknut against handle.  
Note:  Do not remove or adjust the double 
locknuts on long end of input shaft.  They are 
an important part of the braking system and 
must be intact.  See Fig.1

2)  Mount the winch to a structure capable of 

supporting at least 5 times the load the winch 
will be pulling. 

Note:  When bolting the winch down, use three 

grade 5, 3/8 diameter bolts, flat washers and 
locknuts (not supplied).

Note:  Always use outer most slots at the end 

opposite the direction of line pull.  Use large 
flat washer if using center slot at opposite end.

CABLE ATTACHMENT TO DRUM

1)  Feed the cable over the top of drum, through 

drum side hole, and through cable clamp with 
one inch extending past clamp.

2)  With keeper nuts and lock washers outside the 

drum side, tighten nuts snug until cable is 
adequately clamped (approx. 20 - 30 lb-in).

3)  Always be sure the cable is pulling straight off 

the winch, not at an angle.  This will prevent 
the cable from rubbing against the sides of the 
drum,  which can damage the cable.
