Operating Instructions
-
Ensure vehicle is secure by applying parking brake or chocking wheels.
- Power out (for short distance) or freespool the wire rope out and connect to a suitable anchor point.
- Re-check all wire rope rigging before start operation.
1) Plug in the winch hand controller and switch on the battery isolator if fitted. Feed the hand controller around the front of the
vehicle and through the driver’s window.
2) To begin winching, start the vehicle engine and with the transmission in neutral operate the winch whilst guiding the path
of the winch with the vehicle steering until free. You must ensure that the wire rope winds evenly onto the drum. Acute angle
winching can result in rope bunching on the drum which could break out the winch cross bars.
3) When the operation has been completed, the rope should be pulled out and re-spooled neatly under tension for next use.
Notes
- Your winch is not designed to be used continuously but instead to provide the high load short duration pulls required to recover
an off road vehicle from difficulty.
- Never allow the winch motor to stall.
- Whenever you work your winch it will generate heat in the motor, high loading and/or long or repeated operation can cause the
motor to overheat. Always monitor motor temperature; if the motor becomes too hot to comfortably hold your bare hand on stop
operation immediately and allow to cool before further use.
- Do not exceed the maximum rated load of your winch.
- We recommend the use of a snatch block and double line technique for any loads exceeding 50% of winch rating. Always anchor
hook back to suitable chassis fixing not the winch mounting plate.
- Keep the vehicle engine running while winching to maintain battery charge.
- A minimum of 6 tight wraps on the drum must be maintained to prevent failure of drum fixing. Do not pull wire rope out past
the red marking.
- Do not disengage the clutch will under load.
- Do not re-engage clutch while winch is running.
- Never drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way.
ATTENTION
Always keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead opening during
installation, operation, and when spooling in or out.
