Temporary wiring
1.
Lift the rubber seal and connect the power cable to the outlet on the right side of the winch. This
outlet is marked "Power". Run the electric cable from the winch to the battery. Make sure the cable
can not come into contact with moving parts and that no one can trip over it.
2.
Connect the voltage cable's black clamp to the vehicle frame so that a good earth connection is
established. Connect the red clamp to the battery's positive (red / +) terminal. Make sure the
battery is a 12-volt car battery, or equivalent, and that it is in good condition.
3.
Lift the rubber seal on the left side of the winch. Connect the remote control cable plug to the
socket marked "Remote Control" on the left side of the winch.
4.
Keep the remote control in a safe place until you need to use it.
Permanent wiring
1.
Connect the overcurrent protection to the positive terminal using the battery locking screw.
2.
Plan the wiring from the winch installation site to the battery. This path must be safe and protected
from moving parts, debris that may be in the way and any other risk of damage when the vehicle is
in use or being serviced. For example, the cables can be run under the vehicle and attached to the
frame with suitable fixing devices. Do not attach the conductors to the exhaust system, drive shaft,
handbrake cable, fuel line or other parts that may damage the conductors through heat or motion,
or that could pose a fire hazard.
3.
If you drill a hole through a plate on the vehicle, be sure to put a rubber bushing into the hole to
protect the conductors.
4.
Run the voltage cable from the winch to the battery. Observe the safety precautions outlined
above.
5.
Remove the red cable clamp and connect the red cable to the overcurrent protection fitted to the
battery's positive terminal.
6.
Remove the black cable clamp and connect the black cable to the vehicle frame so that an
adequate electrical earthing connection is established.
WARNING!
Always connect red to red (positive to positive) and black to the frame, to create an adequate earth
connection, when using the vehicle battery as a power source.
Never use the winch or other accessories when the battery is completely depleted.
It can be a good idea to let the engine run so the battery is constantly charged while using the
winch. However, you must be particularly careful when working around a vehicle that is running.
Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery. Leaking battery acid can cause burns.
Always wear approved safety glasses when working on batteries.
Your winch is designed to be mounted temporarily using the supplied mounting plate, but you can also
mount the winch permanently as instructed below.
Permanent installation
Select an installation site on the truck bed, boat trailer or other suitable location. Note that the
winch has a pulling force of 907 kg. The installation site must be able to handle this. You can use
steel plates as reinforcement or weld on additional support plates, depending on the installation
site.
Position the winch in the direction required and mark the four drill holes on the winch base.
Now drill these holes on the vehicle.
Mount the winch with hardened steel bolts with a minimum diameter of 10 mm (3/8").
Temporary installation
Install the three studs on the adapter plate with the supplied nuts.
Align the stud heads in the holes at the rear of the winch.
Align the winch/adapter plate on the tow hook by inserting the coupling ball in the teardrop-shaped
hole on the adapter plate.
