MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The three-prong plug must be
plugged into a 120 or 240 Volt, AC
grounded outlet. Make sure that
the power supply cord is positioned
so that the moving load will not
damage it. Unplug the winch when
not in use. Electrical storms or line
surges can cause premature failure
of the internal bridge rectifier.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
Step (2)
Mount the winch to the mount that
you have designed.
The M10 x 1.5 x 40mm mounting
bolts supplied are the correct length
for use with up to a 1/4" (6.3mm)
thick plate.
strength grade weaker than ISO

Step (3)
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.

ensure safe operation.
OPERATION
This unit is activated via the switch
at the six foot cord. To remove wire
rope from the winch, depress the
"Out" button. The load will stop

wire rope onto the drum, depress
the "In" button. Your winch is
designed to pull 1,000 pounds in
single line for 20 seconds "On" time
on the wire rope layer closest to the
drum. Attempts to pull more than
this weight or exceed the duty cycle
may cause damage to the winch or
wire rope and could cause the cir-
cuit breaker to trip, and the winch
will not operate. (See "Trouble
Shooting".) Maintain a minimum of
five wraps of wire rope around the
winch drum before attempting any
pulls.
PULLING OUT THE WIRE ROPE
The wire rope has been installed on
your winch under minimal load at
the factory. The wire rope must be
respooled onto the drum under
load so that the outer layers will
not draw down into the inner ones
thereby damaging the wire rope.
Lift the clutch lever to the "Free
position as shown in Figure 16. If
there is a load on the wire rope, the
clutch lever may not turn easily. DO
NOT FORCE THE CLUTCH LEVER.
Release tension on the wire rope by
jogging out some of the wire rope.
Releasing the clutch and pull out
the wire rope and secure to anchor
or load. Check that there are at
least five (5) turns of wire rope left
on the drum. Re-engage the drum
by returning the clutch lever to the
"Engaged" position (see Figure 16).
