RAPID RECOVERY WINCH FUNCTION
Your winch is equipped to quickly reel in the winch
rope when being used under no-load conditions.
Using this feature will significantly reduce the time it
takes to rewind your rope after use.
When to use
Use Rapid Recovery to quickly reel the rope in or out
to speed up the recovery process. The rope speed is
approximately five times the speed of standard
operation, so caution should be taken to always reset
the winch to “Low” gear after using the Rapid
Recovery so the speed of the winch will not take the
operator by surprise. Do not pull loads while in Rapid
Recovery gear.
How to shift
To operate the Rapid Recovery, make sure the winch
is not in operation and the rope is not in tension.
Rotate the shift knob fully clockwise to engage “High”
gear (Rapid Recovery). Pulling slightly on the winch
rope by hand will help the gears align and the shift to
be completed. Use Rapid Recovery only to reel in the
rope with “No Load”, then rotate the shift knob back to
“Low” gear (standard operating mode) by rotating the
knob back fully counter-clockwise.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your winch/Autostop is not functioning properly, below is a short guide that can help you diagnose and correct
the problem.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
Dead Vehicle Battery
Check to ensure that both the
wireless remote receiver and
control box power wires are
connected to keyed power and not
directly to the positive battery
terminal.
Rewire to ensure wiring is
connected properly per
instructions.
Winch will not operate
Contactor not receiving power
Turn vehicle key on.
Wireless remote not powered on
Turn wireless remote on.
Connections between components
not in proper order
Check connections. Connect wired
handlebar switch connection from
vehicle main wire harness directly
to contactor to make sure a direct
connection will operate the winch.
If connections are not in the order
shown on the pictures in the last
page, the whole system may not
function or only certain parts of it
will function.
Keyed power circuit (orange wires)
not properly powered
Check fusebox for 10A accessory
circuit. Check voltage in certain
places, especially orange wires
coming out of the main harness by
the steering post.
Winch operates in one direction
only
Autostop fairlead not connected
properly
Check connections. If winch
operates only outward, check that
the black rubber puck is not
touching the aluminum fairlead. If
winch operates inward even when
puck is touching fairlead, check
connections of the Autostop control
box. If winch operates inward but
not outward when rubber puck is
