Assembly Procedure (continued)
3. Attach the handle to the winch wheel.
Tighten the nut, then back it off slightly
so the handle turns freely.
4. Move the winch assembly into its
working position:
a. Hold the winch wheel and brake
arm as shown in Figure 2. Rotate
the winch wheel forward slightly
while you lift on the brake arm to
release the brake.
b. Raise the brake arm all the way
up. Grasp the winch post, and
grip the brake arm firmly with
your thumb. (Figure 3)
c. Place your right hand on top of
the frame. Continue to grip the
brake arm as needed to prevent
cable backlash, and pull the
winch assembly all the way to-
ward you. (Figure 4)
d. When the winch is fully extended
(away from the frame housing),
release the brake arm and swing
the retaining hook away so it no
longer secures the telescoping
sections inside the frame hous-
ing.
5. Press the winch assembly slightly back
toward the frame. This automatically
engages the slide bar lock to keep the
winch fully extended. (Figure 5)
IMPORTANT: Before continuing, be
sure that the slide bar lock is fully en-
gaged
— that is, rotated clockwise as
far as possible.
WARNING
To avoid injury, slide
bar lock must be fully en-
gaged if winch assembly
is extended.
