8
(motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the
winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
2. Start by connecting the roller fairlead (Part# X450800) to the mounting channel
using 2 each of the cap screw M8 X 20 (Part# X450025), flat washer (Part#
X450002), lock washer (Part# X450003) and securing with Nut M8 (Part#
X450024). (Make sure the screw is placed through the mounting channel and
roller fairlead from inside the channel. This will allow enough clearance for the
winch to be placed in the channel without obstruction.)
3. Assemble the winch to the mounting channel by first pulling and releasing the
clutch knob to “CLUTCH OUT” position. Pull out a few inches of cable from the
drum and feed the wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting
channel and roller fairlead. Now, using the remaining M8 x 25 cap screws (Part#
X450004), flat washer (Part# X450002), lock washer (Part# X450003) and nut
M8 (Part# X450005) secure the winch to the mounting channel.
4. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Keep in mind that
every type of winch is different each other.
CAUTION
–
Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive. Wear
eye protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over battery
while making connections.
5. 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.
6. Always use the hand saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope.
Using the hand saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the rotating drum.
7. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch kn
ob to the “CLUTCH
OUT
” position. Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob
to the “CLUTCH IN” position to engage the gears. Press the cable out button on
the power switch. If the drum is turning and releasing more cable then your
connections are accurate. If the drum is turning and collecting more cable then
reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat and check rotation.
