Winch operation
Car winch
1. Make sure that vehicle is in standing position, put brake blocks under the
tires.
2. Pull out the winch rope to the desired length and connect to an anchor point.
The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling of the rope for hooking onto the load
or anchor point. The shifter tab located on the gear housing of the winch
operates the clutch as follows:
a) To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the “OUT” position.
Rope may be free spooled off the drum.
b) To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “IN” position.
The winch is now ready for pulling.
3. Before use check the rope position.
4. Plug in the winch hand control. It is recommended that the winching
operation takes place from the driver’s position to ensure safe operation.
5. To commence winching operation, start vehicle engine, select in
transmission, maintain engine speed at idle.
6. Operate the remote control switch to IN or OUT. Check your winch regular
to make sure if rope is proper spooled on the drum.
Best way to know your winch is to make some tests before you
actually need to use it. Plan your every test precisely. Please note
every time the winch noises with the heavy load and without it.
