1. INSTALLATION
WINCHES SHOULD ONLY BE LIFTED BY THE
LIFTING EYES ON EACH SIDE OF THE WINCH.
NEVER LIFT THE WINCH BY THE GEARMOTOR
OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR !
1.1.
All winches must be installed on fl at, rigid and non-
slippery surfaces. Deck and structure must be strong
enough to withstand the weight and holding capacity of
the winch, and the forces likely to occur during operation.
1.2. Place the winch in the mounting area, in line with the
direction of cable pull. Check to make sure there is enough
clearance and Fleet Angle Distance for proper operation.
(Refer to Diagram on Page 8.)
1.3. Weld to deck along the complete length of both foot
mounts. Use seal welding to protect the weld against cor-
rosion. Remember, the weld has to be strong enough to
withstand loads equal to, at least, the Ultimate Shock Load
Capacity of the winch.
WARNING! ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD
WIRE CONTROL BOX AND REMOTE STATION OF A
WINCH. W. W. PATTERSON COMPANY IS NOT LIABLE
FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED OR UN-
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ATTEMPING TO CONNECT
A WINCH TO A POWER SOURCE.
1.4. All winches have been factory wired to the voltage
specifi ed at the time of original purchase. All winches have
been factory tested prior to shipment to insure proper
operation. Assuming the control box and remote station
have been properly installed and wired, no further wiring
is required except to connect the winch to the control box.
1.5. Open the conduit box located on the motor. The
conduit box has been confi gured to the voltage specifi ed
at the time of original purchase.
WARNING! EACH WINCH HAS BEEN FACTORY WIRED
TO THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED AT THE TIME OF ORIGI-
NAL PURCHASE.
