Operating Instructions
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you actually need to
use it .Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well as you can see it operate. Get to
recognize the
sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you will gain
confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature to you.
OPERATING:
1. Ensure the vehicle is secure by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels
2. Pull out the winch cable the desired length and connect to an anchor point.
The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling of the cable 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 "FREESPOOL" position. Cable could be free spooled
off the drum.
b) To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the "ENGAGED" position. The winch is now ready for pulling.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The shifter tab could only be moved counter-clockwise.
3.Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding .
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.
