This winch is part of a range of winches produced by RED Winches Ltd that
are designed for durability and relaiblity. This winch will pull rope onto its
drum quickly and with GOOD CONSISTANT power. please be warned, if
operated without care and attention this winch could easily damage
fingers and hands. The winch is powered by DC voltage, in most cases 12v,
but also 24v systems can be used to power the winch if requied. The
current draw on this DC voltage can be 60A Max, so care and attention
must be taken when operating the winch that the electrical power to the
motor is not exposed to the operator. The winch should only be operated
by a person who has been authorised to do so or has been trained to
operate it safely.

The Winch
Set-up Procedure
The winch is an excellent choice when it comes to compact, descrete
mounted power for electric winching.
It has been designed specifically for reliable high performance and
durability. The winch can give you speeds of 6.0m/min
The winch body is CNC machined from high grade heat treated aerospace
aluminium from solid billets.
The drum is mechanically driven by a solid steel hardened tooth plate.
This is a very tough hardened plate.
The tooth plate is driven from the gearbox by a solid steel central shaft passing through the
middle of the drum. The drive system has been built for strength and durability.
All our winches are now supplied with Plasma Locks to hold the synthetic rope onto the
drum, proven method and very reliable.
It is a nice simple solution to ensure you always have the minimum amount of line wraps on
your winch drum.
With the Plasma Lock installed you can pull your rope line out with confidence that it won't
leave you without any line on the drum!
The Plasma lock has been designed for a variety of line gauges and you can feel confident
that at least 8-10 wraps remain on your drum, reducing greatly the chances of a slippage.
The Plasma Lock is made from double thickness, heavy duty bright red webbing and is
150mm x 40mm (approx).

The gearbox has been specifically designed for strength, power and
ease of service. All gears are manufactured from chromium
molybdenum steel and case hardened for maximum strength and
excellent durability. The gearbox housing is sealed ensuring a
watertight seal. Once the housing is removed access to all gears is
possible and only takes a short time to service and re-assemble.
The gearbox runs in grease not oil making it much easier to service in
the field and less prone to contamination.

WARNING! THIS WINCH IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR WINCHING SITUATIONS /
APPLICATIONS
WARNING! Ensure all fasteners and connections are adequately connected or
secured before using the winch.
Maintain the equipment in good condition.
(use an authorised servicing agent if required)
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts
may be dangerous and will invalidate any warranty.
Use a qualified person to lubricate if required and maintain the equipment.
Before use, ensure all parts are clean and free of contamination / dirt.
DO NOT use solvent cleaners to clean this winch
Use the equipment in a suitable work or operational area, keep winching area
clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is
adequate lighting while setting and operating the winch.
Keep the winch and winch rope clean for best and safest performance.
The maximum line load is 2,000kg. DO NOT exceed this rated capacity during a
recovery situation.
When operating remove ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and
other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
Maintain correct balance and footing, do not over reach. Ensure the floor /
ground is not slippery and wear appropriate footwear.
Before using the winch check that there are no overhead or surrounding
obstructions.
The speed during operation must be kept steady and constant. Do not
generate sudden movements or shock loads.
DO NOT use the winch for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT use the equipment if damaged.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the equipment.
DO NOT use the equipment when you are tired or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the equipment unsupervised
DO NOT attempt to transport a load outside JLR designated safe load / unload
areas.
DO NOT make any modifications to the equipment
DO NOT operate the winch and handle the synthetic rope without approved
winching gloves and appropriate PSE
(1) Check winch as per the safety instructions
(2) Check winch is situated correctly for the task at hand
(3) Check rope is on drum securely and is not tangled
(4) Check power connection to winch
(5) Winch is now ready to operate
The winch gearbox has gears that are straight cut for strength and
durability. The winch gearbox is noisier than other winches due to the
rotational speeds of the gears, especially when not under load using
the OX Motor. Spees of 10,000 rpm can be reached under no load
conditions resulting in the first set of gears to spin at high speed.
Startup
Q: How do I store the rope on the drum?
A: Always leave the drum and rope neatly spooled after use with the
rope clean and evenly layered
Q: What should I do if the winch has been used in muddy / wet /
dirty conditions
A: After a prolonged dirty wet operation clean and wash the rope
and clean all connections with fresh water.
Q: What if the winch stops while operating?
A: If the winch overloads, i.e. it stops under load, release the control
button immediately and assess the situation otherwise you could
damage the motor. Check all electrical connections to ensure they
are secure and look normal. Check temperatue of motor. If needed,
allow the winch too cool before carrying on.
