3. Before hooking the load, make sure the distance between the load and steel rope is minimal.
Hook up the load using a pulling point, tow strap or chain.
Do not wrap the cable around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the cable. This could
damage the load and twist or fray the cable.
4. To pull-in the cable:
- Re-engage the clutch knob / lever: pull and turn the clutch knob (6) (for model 2500) or place clutch
lever (6) (for 9000 model) to the “IN” position to engage the clutch.
CAUTION: Clutch must be fully engaged before winching. Never operate the clutch while drum is
turning.
- Press the "Cable in" button on the handheld remote control and the cable is re-spooled.
- Press the "Cable out" button to reverse directions.
WARNING
! Wait until the motor stops before reversing directions.
5. The operator/user shall pull the load with the minimum speed available at the winch. The rope shall
be tightened and shall not be in the slack-condition when the load is being pulled.
It is important that lay a blanket or jacket over the
wire rope near the hook end when pulling a load
(See Fig.3). This will slow the snap back of a
broken wire rope and help to prevent
serious injure and damage.
Stand at a safe distance and press the power
switch on the remote control to retract the cable,
and winch the item as required.

6-After finishing the pulling / towing operation
- Always rewind the steel cable in its spool.
- Remove the remote control plug form connector on the motor, and replace the rubber seal connector
cover.
7. Warning:
a. Do not use the winch with the vehicle in gear or in “P” (park brake) position on as this could
damage the vehicle transmission. Use the hand brake and chock vehicle.
b. Do not wrap the cable around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the cable. This could
damage the load and twist or fray the cable
c. Keep hands, clothing, hair, and jewelry clear of the drum area and cable when using the winch
d. Do not use the winch if the cable is frayed, twisted or damaged.
e. Do not allow anyone to stand near the cable or in the cable pulling line, behind the winch while
it is on. If the cable should slip of break, it could whiplash
f. Do not leave the remote control plugged when the winch is not in use.
VI. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Disconnect winch from battery before carrying any intervention, maintenance, cleaning or
repair on the winch.
6.1- Maintenance
1. Lubrication
a) The gearbox has been lubricated using high temperature grease in the factory. Therefore no
internal lubrication is required except when winch requires being repaired
b) Periodically lubricate the cable and hook with slight grease.
Grease the gears every 6 months. To do this release the clutch knob and separate the left and
right housing. Use good quality waterproof grease.
2. Inspect periodically all parts, steel cable, accessories and replace them if damaged or used.
3. Have damaged parts replaced by an authorized service center.
