SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always Pay attention to the following instructions. Obvious
mistakes in operation may result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
WINCH ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
1. Your winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of lifting
winch. Many winch mounting kits (Sold Separately) are available that utilize
this bolt pattern for the mounting channels. If you will utilize the mounting
channel you must ENSURE that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three
major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the lifting winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
2. Pull out a few inches of cable from the drum. Now, using the remaining cap
screws, flat washer, lock washer and nut secure the hoist to the mounting
channel (Sold Separately)
3. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Keep in mind that
every type of winch is different each other.
4. Assemble the clevis hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the clevis hook,
connect the clevis hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the clevis Hook.
5. Always use the hand saver (If Supplied) when free-spooling and re-spooling the
wire rope. Using the hand saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the
rotating drum.
6. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull out some cable from the drum. Press the
cable out button on the remote lead. If the drum is turning in the correct
direction releasing more cable then your connections are correct. If the drum is
turning and collecting more cable then the direction is incorrect and reverse the
leads on the motor. Repeat and check rotation.
