WINCH OPERATION
SUGGESTION: The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you
actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well as you can see it
operate. Get to recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting.
Soon you will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature to you.
OPERATING:
1. Ensure the vehicle is secured by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels.
2. Pull out the winch cable the desired length and connect to an anchor point. The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling
of the cable for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The shifter tab located on the gear housing of the winch
operates the clutch as follows:
a) To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the “OUT” position. Cable may be free spooled off the drum.
b) To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “IN” position. The winch is now ready for pulling.
3.
Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding.
4.
Plug in the winch hand control. It is recommended that the winching operation takes place from the driver’s position
to ensure safe operation
. Turn control base clockwise until it locks into place.
5.
To commence winching operation, start vehicle engine, select in transmission, maintain engine speed at idle.
6.
Operate the remote control switch to IN or OUT until the vehicle has been retrieved. Regularly check the winch to
ensure cable is winding onto the drum evenly.
Note:
1. Never winch with your vehicle in gear or in park, which would damage your vehicle’s transmission.
2. Never wrap the cable around the object and hook onto the cable itself, this can cause damage to the object being
pulled, and kink or fray the cable.
3. Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewelry clear of the drum area and cable when winching.
4. Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
5. Never allow anyone to stand near the cable, or in line with the cable behind the winch while it is under power, if the
cable should slip or brake, it can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing a hazard for anyone in the area.
Always stand well to the side while winding.
6. Don’t leave the switch plugged in when winch is not in use.
CHECK THE WINCH CAREFULLY AND THOROUGTLY BEFORE OPERATING!
