13. Operate the Pendant controls briefly to ensure
they work properly, see Figure L. If operation is
reversed, the power cables may be connected
backwards, Correct any such issue before use.
Figure L: Pendant controls
14.
When it is safe to do so, use the power switch on
the Pendant Controller to retract the wire rope,
and winch the item as desired.
Do not power the
hook all the way into the fairlead to prevent
damage.
15. Do not operate the winch at extreme angles. Do
not exceed the angles shown in Figure B for a
roller fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle
should be as close to straight as possible.

Angles
16. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at an
angle in relation to the winch, use a pulley (sold
separately) and an anchor point directly in front of
the winch, as shown in Figure C, to keep the Wire
Rope pull straight.
17.
WARNING!
Stop the winch and release tension
on the wire rope before moving the rag or carpet
placed on it.
18. Do not continue use of the winch until the battery
is completely run down.
19. You may wish to keep the engine running while
using this winch, to continually recharge the
battery. However, exercise extreme caution when
working around a running vehicle and ONLY
operate a vehicle in an outdoor area.
CAUTION: Do not use the winch in a constant duty
application, it is designed for INTERMITTENT USE
ONLY. Keep the duration of the pulling job as
short as possible. If the motor becomes very hot
to the touch, stop and let it cool down for several
minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at
or near the rated load. Do not maintain power to
the Winch if the motor stalls. Double Line Rigging
will help prevent overloading and should be used
whenever practical, see Double Line Rigging in
page 11.
20. When finished pulling the load, reverse the
direction of the winch just enough to release
tension on the Wire Rope so that you can
unfasten the Hook from the load and reel in the
Wire Rope.

Remote control instructions
For easy use, two winch control functions both with
wire-drive and remote are in this handle controller.
Please read the instructions before using the product.
The handle controller has two functions, drive-by-wire
control and remote control. When the plugs of the two
ends of the cable contacts with the winch and with the
handle controller respectively, the green indicting light
will be on, which indicates that the winch is controlled
by drive-by-wire and the remote control function is off
automatically. When the button
“OUT” is pressed,
wire rope will come out of the winch. When
“IN” is
pressed, wire rope will be pulled back into the winch.
When the cable is separated from the controller and
the power switch is pressed for about 3 seconds, the
red indicating light will be on, which indicates that the
winch is controlled with remote. When the button
“OUT” is pressed, wire rope will come out of the winch.
When
“IN” is pressed, wire rope will be pulled back
into the winch. When the power switch is pressed
later for about 3 seconds, the red indicating light will
