Step (4)
Disconnect the vehicle battery leads.
Batteries contain
gasses which are
flammable and explosive. Wear eye
protection during installation and
remove all metal jewelry. Do not
lean over battery while making
connections.
Step (5)
Refer to Figure 8 for wiring
diagram.
Route the two wires from the con-
trol box to the motor. Route the
two wires from the control box to
the battery. Attach the circuit break-
er to battery end of the red wire.
Wrap the circuit breaker with elec-
trical tape to prevent accidental
short circuits.
Apply several layers of electrical
tape where wiring may come into
contact with sharp metal parts of
the vehicle to prevent insulation
abrasion or cutting.
Attach the circuit breaker wire to
the battery positive terminal and
reattach the terminal to the battery.
Connect the remaining black control
box wire to the battery negative ter-
minal and connect the terminal to
the battery.
Step (6)
Pull and turn (see Figure 9) the
freespool clutch knob to the “Free”
position. Pull several feet of wire
rope off the drum. Return the clutch
knob back to the “Engaged” posi-
tion. Activate the winch in Cable
Out momentarily to check drum
rotation direction. If the drum
rotates in the wrong direction,
recheck your wiring.

FREESPOOL OPERATION
Pull and turn the clutch knob to the
“Free ” position as shown in Figure 9.
If there is a load on the wire rope,
the clutch knob may not pull out
easily. DO NOT FORCE THE CLUTCH
KNOB. Release tension on the clutch
by jogging out some of the wire
rope. Release the clutch and pull
out the wire rope and secure to
anchor or load. Check that there
are at least five (5) turns of wire
rope left on the drum. Re-engage
the drum by returning the clutch
knob to the “Engaged” position.
(See Figure 9).
Clutch must be
fully engaged
before winching. Never engage
clutch knob while drum is turning.
If the winch
motor stalls,
do not continue to apply power.

PENDANT OPERATION
The handheld pendant switch acti-
vates relays that feed power to the
winch motor.
To connect the pendant control,
remove the cover on the plug recep-
tacle and insert the plug end of
remote switch. The plug on the pen-
dant control cord is keyed and will fit
into the socket only one way.
The switch trigger returns to the
“Off” position when released.
To change direction, move the toggle
in the other direction.
The switch assembly
must be kept free
of dirt and moisture to ensure safe
operation.
To prevent
unauthorized
use of the winch, remove pendant
control and store in a clean dry area
such as the glove box.
