7. Attach the Clevis/D-shackle and Tree Trunk
Protector. Attach the shackle to the two ends
of the strap or chain and through the hook
loop, being careful not to over tighten (tighten
and back-off 1/2 turn).
8. Lock the clutch. Lock the winch drum by
rotating the clutch lever on the winch to
engage.
NOTE:
Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or
disengaged.
9. Connect the remote control to the winch
control box, located behind the front bumper.
Be careful not to let the remote control cord
dangle in front of the winch. If you choose to
control the winch from inside your vehicle,
always pass the remote through a window to
avoid pinching the cord in the door. Always
disconnect the remote control when not in
use.
10. Put wire rope under tension. Using the
remote control switch, slowly wind the wire
rope until no slack remains. Once the wire
rope is under tension, stand well clear of it
and never step over it.
11. Check your anchor. Make sure all connec-
tions are secured and free of debris before
continuing with the winching procedure.
