This is supplied complete with a length of positive battery supply cable. Under no
circumstances should this length of cable with shunt fitted be altered, as this will affect the
functioning of the overload switch.
TESTING
After the installation is complete, a proof load test of 125% of the rated load should be
carried out before the winch goes into service.
TO OPERATE WINCH
Turn on isolator switch, plug in wanderlead control. The winch can be powered both in and
out. The load is automatically held safely when control button is released.
The best way to become acquainted with how you winch operates is to make test runs.
Plan you tests in advance. Remember that you hear your winch as well as see it operate.
Come to recognise the sounds of a light steady pull, heavy pull, and sounds caused by
load jerking or shifting. Gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become
second nature to you.
The uneven spooling of wire rope whilst pulling a load, is not a problem, unless there is a
pile up of rope on one end of the drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the
tension on the rope and move your anchor point further to the centre of the load. After the
job is complete, you can unspool and rewind the wire rope neatly.
