CAUTION:
To prevent serious injury due to accidental activation, complete
the winch installation before wiring.
WARNING:
Always choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong
to withstand the winch pulling capacity.
WARNING:
Always spool the winch rope onto the drum in the direction
specified in the documentation.
This winch should always be mounted in a horizontal orientation with
the rope winding on / off the bottom of the drum. This ensures that the
automatic brake will function correctly and it helps prevent the rope from
bunching on one end of the drum. Bunching can damage the winch.
•
Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself
with the wireless remotes.
•
The remotes should be turned off when not in use.
•
The battery is located in the back of the remotes.
•
Be careful to keep your remotes away from water.
Rotate the clutch to the “free spool”
position. Re-engage the drum by
returning the clutch knob to the
“engaged” position.
If the drum rotates in the wrong
direction when in use, check your
wiring. Ensure that at least five turns of
wire cable / ten turns of synthetic rope
are left on the drum at all times.
