7. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch knob to the “off”
position (Free-spooling). Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the
clutch knob to the “In” position to engage the gears. Press the cable out button
on the power switch. If the drum is turning and releasing more cable then your
connections are accurate. If the drum is turning and collecting more cable then
reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat and check rotation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
WARNING – DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.
WARNING – Intermittent use only.
WARNING - Do not use winch in lifting or moving or persons.
WARNING - A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum
barrel is necessary for pulling and holding the rated load. The
cable clamp is not designed to hold the load without 5 wraps of
cable around the barrel.
WARNING - Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the
side of the cable when under tension.
WARNING – The wire rope may break before the motor stalls.
For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley
block/snatch block to reduce the load on the wire rope.
WARNING -Never step over a cable, or near a cable under load.
WARNING - Don’t move the vehicle to pull a load (towing) on
the winch cable. This could result in cable breakage.
WARNING-Disconnect the remote control and battery leads
when not in use.
WARNING- Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock
loads” by using the control switch intermittently to take up the
slack in the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate
capacity for the wire rope and drum.
