WINCH OPERATION
General
General
Unwinding Winch Cable
Pulling Load
Operation of High Gear
Preparation for Use
The vehicle’s steering pump is used to power the winch. The engine must be running while operating the winch, as the engine turns the power
steering pump which pumps fluid to rotate the winch. The winch will have full pulling capabilities at an engine idle. The winch is operated by an
electric activated switching valve. When engaging or disengaging the clutch and/or shift lever, it may be necessary to rotate the drum by hand
to align gears.

To unwind cable by hand, turn top lever to “FREE” (free spool). Turn side lever to “FREE” (free spool). Both levers should be in “FREE” positions
to unwind cable.
Turn top lever to “LOW” (lock low gear). Leave the side lever at “FREE” (free spool). This will engage the winch into low gear.
Turn top lever to “FREE.” Turn side lever to “HIGH” (lock high gear).
Operate remote control switch to “IN” or “OUT” until load has been retrieved. Secure winch after operation.
1. For use in pulling objects other than self recovery, park vehicle directly facing object to be winched. Apply parking brake.
2. Place transmission shift lever in “N” (neutral).
3. Start engine.
4. Chock wheels.
CAUTION: Wear leather gloves when handling winch cable. Do not handle cable with bare hands. Broken wires cause injuries. When fully
extending winch cable, make sure that five wraps of winch cable remain on drum at all times. Failure to do this may cause serious injury. Pull off
cable by hand to desired length. Connect to load leaving one foot of slack in cable.
CAUTION:
Direct all personnel to stand clear of winch cable during winch operation. A snapped winch cable will cause serious injury or death.
Do not activate winch electric connector when engine is OFF with a LOAD on cable. This can put the winch into a retarded free spool mode.
