Note: If you choose to locate the
winch at a greater distance than
the wires provided will permit, it
may be necessary to purchase a
larger gauge wire to get the best
performance from your winch. If
the total length of additional wire
to be added to the system exceeds
10' (3m), use a larger wire gauge size.
Attach the circuit breaker directly
to the battery positive terminal,
and reattach the terminal to the
battery. If your vehicle is equipped
with side pole terminals, it may be
necessary to obtain auxiliary side
terminal bolts from your local
auto parts dealer to make these
connections.
Connect the remaining wire to the
battery negative terminal, and con-
nect the terminal to the battery.
Step (5)
Lift the freespool clutch lever to
the "Free" position. Pull several
feet of wire rope off the drum.
Return the clutch lever back to the
"Engaged" position. Plug in the
remote pendant control. Switch
the slide lever to the "Rope Out"
position. Pull the trigger momen-
tarily to check wire rope drum
rotation and direction. If the drum
rotates in the wrong direction,
recheck your wiring.
The hand-held pendant switch acti-
vates a solenoid that activates
power to the winch motor. One
solenoid is for "Rope Out" motor
direction and the other is for the
"Rope In" motor direction (Fig. 13).

PENDANT OPERATION
The switch trigger returns to the
"OFF" position when released
(Figure 13, Item A). The slide button
on the back of the switch deter-
mines the direction of the drum
rotation for "Rope In" or "Rope
Out" operation (Figure 13, Item B).
The slide is fitted with an interlock
so that the motor cannot be
reversed if the trigger is depressed.
To change direction, release the
trigger, move the slide button, and
depress the trigger again.
be kept free of dirt and moisture to
ensure safe operation.
To connect the pendant control,
lift the dust cover on the plug
receptacle (See Figure 14). The plug
on the pendant control cord is
keyed and will fit into the socket
only one way.
