Winch Operation
WINCH OPERATION
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you use
it. Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch as well as see it operate. Get to
recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or
shifting. Avoid conditions where load shifts or jerks occur, as they may indicate a dangerous
situation.
The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling the load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable
pileup on one end of the drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the load, and move
your anchor point further to the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you can unspool and
rewind for a neat lay of the cable.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket, jacket, and tarpaulin over the cable about five or six
feet behind the hook. In the event of a broken cable, this will slow the snap back of the cable and
could prevent serious injury.
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the cable, from the cable drum, for hooking onto the
load. The clutch is operated by the clutch shifter lever.
WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH UNDER LOAD!
TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH: Run the winch in the reverse (reel out) direction until the load is off the
cable. Pull handle out and rotate 90°. With handle in the “DISENGAGED” position, cable may now
be free-spooled from the drum.
TO ENGAGE CLUTCH: Pull handle out, rotate 90° and release handle. Run the winch in reverse
until the clutch handle snaps fully into the “ENGAGED” position. DO NOT attempt to pull a load
unless the handle is fully at the “ENGAGED” position.
