WIRELESS REMOTE OPERATION
• When properly installed, the wireless remote will
allow you to operate the winch from off the vehicle,
which can be a safe way to operate the winch when
done properly.
• To use the wireless remote, hold the small "On/Off"
button for three seconds or until the LED light on the
remote turns on. If the vehicle is on so that the
winch is receiving power, the wireless remote
should operate the winch as if you were using the
winch switch
q
located on the handlebar. If the
remote is not operating properly, see the
troubleshooting information at the end of the
instructions.
• The remote will automatically turn itself off after 30
seconds of inactivity. You will therefore need to turn
the remote back on if it has been more than 30
seconds since the prior use.
• To manually turn off the remote, hold the small "On/
Off" button for 3 seconds or until the LED light turns
off. The remote will automatically turn itself off after
30 seconds of inactivity.
• See the illustration below for proper wireless remote
operation.

AUTOSTOP OPERATION
The Autostop system is meant to help prevent
damage to the winch system from over-tightening of
the rope, but is not meant to prevent all foreseeable
winch damage. The winch is very powerful and care
should be exercised whenever it is in operation. The
winch operator is always responsible for using the
winch properly and the Autostop system should only
be used as a secondary preventive measure to help
prevent damage to the winch from over-tightening the
rope.
The Autostop system works when the black rubber
puck nears the aluminum fairlead
h
. Stop magnets
j
in the puck trigger sensors in the fairlead, which
prevent the contactor from pulling in the winch rope
any further.
During final inspection, confirm that the Autostop is
functioning properly. Troubleshooting steps are given
in that section to help diagnose and correct any
problems.
GEAR SELECTION
WARNING
Attempting to shift the winch while the rope is under
tension is dangerous and can result in injuries or
death. Make sure the winch rope is not in tension
before shifting the winch between gears.
Your winch is equipped with three different gear
settings. High, Neutral and Low. When in neutral the
“N” marking will show thru the cutout window on the
shift knob. See photo below.
