5.2.3.
Connect the yellow wire to the positive terminal of the winch, marked as (1) on the rear of the motor case, and to the yellow marked
terminal of the relay block. Connect the blue wire to the negative terminal on the winch, marked as (2), to the blue terminal on the relay
block. See fig.5.
NOTE:
Your battery must be kept in good condition. Make sure the battery cables are not drawn across any surfaces which could possibly
damage them. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short circuit. Keep all connections
clean especially in the remote control switch and receptacle. In salty environments use silicon sealer to protect from corrosion.
WARNING!
double check the wiring. Incorrect wiring could result in motor burn out and/or personal injury.
5.2.4.
Connect the battery terminals.
5.2.5.
Check the rotational direction of the drum. Select the freespool position with the clutch knob, pull out some cable from the drum, and
then select the ‘In’ position. Press the ‘Cable out’ button on the hand held switch, if the cable is paying out, then the winch is correctly
connected. If it is paying in, the cables need swapping round the other way.
6. OPERATION
WARNING!
The switch assembly must be kept free of dirt and moisture to ensure safe operation.
6.1.
Turn the clutch knob so that the drum can turn freely by hand.
6.2.
Use the hand saver strap to pull the cable’s hook so that it can be attached to the load. See fig.3.
WARNING!
Check that at least five turns of wire rope remain on the drum before operation.
6.3.
Switch the clutch knob back to the ‘In’ position, (so that the drum can’t be turned by hand).
WARNING!
The clutch must be fully engaged before winching. never operate the clutch whilst the drum is turning.
DO NOT
re-adjust the clutch knob, as it has been adjusted and permanently locked in place with a thread locking compound in the factory.
6.4.
Press the cable ‘In’ button on the hand held unit, to pay in the cable and the ‘out’ button to pay the cable out.
▲
DANGER!
never handle the wire rope or rigging while anyone else is holding the hand held control switch.
WARNING!
Always use the hand saver to pull the hook,
DO NOT
hold the hook with your hand. This is important not only when reeling
in wire rope, but also when removing wire rope from the winch under power.
6.5.
equipping the winch with its roller fairlead (supplied) will substantially reduce wear on the wire rope during angle pulls, because
rollers eliminate heavy rubbing and abrasion to the wire rope, see fig.8.
NOTE: DO NOT
winch your vehicle in gear or in park, which would damage your vehicle’s transmission.
8
DO NOT
wrap the wire rope around an object and hook the cable back onto itself, this can cause damage to the object being pulled
and kink or fray the wire rope. (Use a Self Recovery Kit).
9
Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum and cable when winching.
8
DO NOT
use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
8
DO NOT
allow anyone to stand near the cable, or in line with the cable or behind the winch while it is under power. If the cable
should slip or break it can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing great danger for anyone in the area. Always stand well to
the side while winding and use a Wire Rope dampener.
8
DO NOT
leave the switch plugged in when the winch is not in use.
9
CHECK THE WINCH THOROUGHLY AND CAREfULLY BEfORE OPERATING!
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
It is strongly recommended that the winch is used regularly (once a month). Simply power out 15mtr of cable, free spool 5mtr then
power back in. This will keep all the components in good working condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed.
