HANDLE
Install the handle (C) on either the Fast bolt (D) for faster winching or the
Slow bolt (F) for greater pulling power (see Fig. 1).
CABLE AND HOOK
Select a winch cable with breaking strength that is at least 1-1 ⁄2 times the
winch rating (see Specifications). Select a hook that is 1-1 ⁄2 times stronger
than the winch cable.
WARNING! Use extreme care when replacing cable (wire rope). It is secured
under tension by the cable clamp, and may spring back forcefully.

Move the ratchet switch (#14) to the lower (reel out) position, and then
reel the old cable all the way out by turning the handle

remove the old cable (Fig. 3-4) from
