•
Never attach the cable to itself. When the vehicle is on a slope, apply chocks to the
wheels. When pulling a load, the winch should be run for the shortest time possible. If
the motor becomes too hot to touch, stop winching immediately and allow the motor to
cool for a few minutes. Do not run the winch for more than a minute if you are at or near
the rated load.
CAUTION
•
If the motor stalls, do not continue to apply power to the winch. Electric winches are
designed and manufactured for intermittent use. They should not be used for
continuous usage applications.
•
Never disengage the clutch while the winch is loaded.
•
Use the safety strap when handling the hook to wind or unwind the cable.

equipment information
6.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This winch is a powerful machine which must be handled with extreme caution with attention paid
to all cautions and warnings indicated in this manual. It is important that you understand its
specifications and the basics of how it works so that you can use it safely and with complete
confidence whenever you need to.
Below, you will find a list of the winch’s components and their functions. We recommend that you
practice using the winch before finding yourself in a situation where you need to use it.
1. This
winch
is designed for maximum pull strength with a single layer of cable wound around
the winch drum (the first layer).
2. The
motor
is fed by a 12 or 24 volt battery which powers the gear mechanism that spins the
drum and winds the cable. Before use, ensure the winch is connected to the correct supply
voltage.
3. The winch
drum
is the cylinder around which the cable is wound. It can unwind or rewind the
cable, depending on which button is pressed on the remote control.
4. The winch may be equipped with a
cable
(galvanised steel aircraft cable Ø 12 mm), which is
specifically designed for a rated pulling load of 7938 kg. The cable is wound around the drum
from the bottom through the roller fairlead and has a loop at the end to allow the hook to be
attached.
