OPERATION
OPERATIONAL CHECK
Wired remote allows winch operation from outside the
vehicle. If winch does not operate as described, refer
to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
CAUTION
Use caution when operating winch. Winch does NOT
have autostop mechanism to prevent hook from
retracting through fairlead. Hook must be manually
stopped PRIOR to contact with fairlead. Failure to
stop hook from contacting fairlead may result in
damage to fairlead, bumper, or other components.
With the vehicle key in the ON position, check winch
for proper operation:
• To extend cable, depress and hold the “OUT”
button.
• To recover cable, depress and hold the “IN” button.

WARNING
Do NOT attempt to change gear setting while the
cable is under tension. Failure to relieve cable
tension prior to changing gears may result in winch
failure, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Your winch is equipped with two different gear
settings: “FREE” and “LOCK”.
1. FREE : Used to rapidly extend cable (faster than
when in the “LOCK” position)
2. LOCK : Used to recover cable
To shift between FREE and LOCK relieve all tension
from cable, then rotate gear selector knob (located on
end of winch) clockwise to engage LOCK setting, or
counterclockwise to engage FREE setting.
