For the first start-up of the winch, aim at getting to know its ope-
ration in a quiet place, without the need to pull the hook under load.
Unwind the rope until there are only five wraps left on the drum and
then wind it again, under a slight load (about 5–10% of the pulling
power). This will cause the rope to be slightly taut and allow it to be
tightly wrapped around the drum.
If the rope is not wound evenly at the end of the task/s, it should be unco-
iled and wound evenly and tightly onto the winch drum.

Place wedges under the wheels of vehicles parked on a slope.

Battery:
•
must be in good condition
•
avoid contact with electrolytes
•
always wear safety glasses when working with the battery
•
do not lean on the battery
•
do not put wires on the terminals
•
do not short-circuit the terminals with metal objects
•
when using the winch, leave the engine running so that it can
recharge the battery
•
NEVER exceed the maximum pulling force of the winch.
•
When pulling, do not “help” using the wheels of the vehicle, because
you may cause jerks that exceed the capabilities of the rope or winch
and cause damage.
•
Avoid any jerks and violent force applied to the rope and the winch,
because in such situations the winch is likely to be damaged and the
rope may break
•
The POWERWINCH winches are designed for use on vehicles and
boats. They are not suitable for industrial applications.
•
NEVER use the winch for lifting loads vertically.. The
crane winches designed for this purpose have a com-
pletely different design.
•
NEVER use the winch for lifting or transporting people.
•
NEVER carry the winch by holding it by the clutch lever.
•
On occasion the clutch lever may become slightly
blocked. Try to turn the lever with one hand, and alter-
nately press the buttons for winding and unwinding the rope on the
remote control with one hand, so that the gear teeth mesh.
Never carry out the above procedure when the winch is
under any load.
Assembling the winch
First, fix the winch correctly using all screws supplied and all
elements of the mounting plate. Only start the electrical connec-
tion when you are sure that it is mechanically fully mounted.
1. Mounting the winch
The winch should be fastened with the screws provided, on a flat surface
with adequate strength for the maximum pulling force. Depending on the
model, there may be two, four or eight screws in the set. All bolts must be
placed in the same plane, in holes with appropriate spacing to avoid dama-
ge to the winch. Make sure that the installation method does not interfere
with operation of the sensor systems, i.e. those related to activation of the
airbags or other systems in the vehicle, e.g. radar.
The assembly of the winch, depending on the model and the mounting
plate, may require the replacement of the vehicle suspension system. If
in doubt, contact your dealer. Use only mounting plates from renowned
manufacturers.
Never make the mounting plate yourself:. you do so entirely
at your own risk, because an incorrectly designed and/or
poorly made mounting plate may damage the equipment, risk
human health or life and shall always result in cancellation of
the warranty.
The winch should be fastened using all the screws, nuts and washers
supplied. Install the cable guide in such a way as to ensure that the rope is
properly wound on the drum. Make sure that the screws holding the roller
guide do not contact the winch mounting flanges, and the winch attach-
ment bolts are the right length.
Attach the cable guide so that the warning sticker is clearly visible.
2. Lubrication
All moving parts of the winch have been pre-lubricated and do not require
any further maintenance before first use. The steel wire rope requires
periodic lubrication with oil.
3. Rope installation
Stretch the new steel wire rope on the ground, avoiding knots and kinks.
Uncoil the old rope to the end and note how it was attached to the drum,
then undo it.
When replacing the steel wire rope with a
synthetic rope, make sure that it withstands
the maximum pulling force of the winch.
Follow the instructions provided by the
rope manufacturer. Pay special attention
to the number of coils that must remain on
the drum and how to attach the rope to the
drum. Contact your supplier for advice on
choosing the correct rope.
4. Mounting the box with relays
The box with relays can be attached directly to the winch or to the ve-
hicle itself in various ways. The best method of fastening should always
be determined by practical requirements, both in terms of using the
winch and the feasibility of assembly. In a vehicle that often enters deep
water and mud, mount the box high under the hood.
