Installation Manual
LUBRICATION INSTALLATION
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of assembly.
Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice. Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating oil. Inspect
for broken strands and replace if necessary. If the cable becomes worn or damaged, it must be replaced.
CABLE INSTALLATION
Unwind the new cable by rolling it along the ground, to prevent kinking. Remove old cable and observe the manner in
which it is attached to the drum flange.
ELETRICAL CONNECTION
For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical system is adequate. A fully changed battery and proper
connections are essential. Run the vehicle engine during winching operations to keep charged.
Pay close attention to proper electrical cable connection as follows (refer to Diagram 1)
Be sure to observe the following steps for a correct and safe electrical connection:
1. Short Red cable (B’) connecting to the red terminal (B) of winch motor.
2. Short black cable with yellow jacket (C’) connecting to the yellow terminal (C) of the motor.
3. Short black cable with black jacket (D’) connecting to the black terminal (D) of the motor.
4. Thin black cable (A’) connecting to bottom terminal (A) of the motor.
5. Long black cable (1.8m), one terminal (a) connecting to the bottom terminal (A) of the motor, and the other terminal
negative (-) connecting to negative (-) terminal of battery.
6. Long red cable positive (+) connecting to positive (+) of battery.
