2. Connect the Black Clamp Handle of the POWER
CABLE to the frame of your vehicle, establishing
a ground connection. Connect the Red Clamp
Handle to the Positive (+/Red) terminal of your
battery (Figure 11). Note: Be sure you are
using a 12V automotive battery or equiva-
lent, in good condition.
3. Taking the Remote Control Unit, insert the
Socket at the end of the cord into the Plug on
the left side of the winch body labeled "remote
Control" (Figure 12).
4. Set the remote control aside in a safe place
until ready for use.
5. Be careful plugging in the units as each as their
own receptacle.
Permanent Wiring
1. Attach the circuit breaker to the Positive (+/Red) terminal of your battery, using the battery terminal
clamp bolt.
2. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the vehicle where the winch will be mounted, or used, to
the battery. This route must be secure, out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or any possibility
of being damaged by operation or maintenance of the vehicle. For example, you may wish to route the
wires under the vehicle, attached it to the frame using suitable fasteners. Do not attach the wires to
the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other components which may
create damage to the wiring through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
3. If you drill through the bumper or any part of the body to route the wires, be sure to install a rubber
grommet in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
4. Route the POWER CABLE from the point the winch will be used to the battery, following the precautions
discussed above.
5. Remove the Red Clamp handle, and attach the red wire to the circuit breaker which is mounted onto
the Positive (+/Red) terminal of your battery.
6. Remove the Black Clamp handle and attach the black wire to the frame of your vehicle, creating a
secure electrical ground.

WARNING
1. Always CONNECT Red to Red (Positive to Positive) and Black to the frame, making a ground connection,
when using battery power from your vehicle.
2. Never continue use of your winch or other accessory until the battery is completely run down.
3. You may wish to keep your engine running while using this winch to continually recharge the battery.
However, exercise extreme caution when working around a running vehicle.
4. Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery. You may suffer injury from acid burns.
5. Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses when working around or with a battery.

2. Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
3. 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 break, it can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing a
hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching.
PULLING CAPACITY
1. This winch has a capacity of 2,000 lbs. Applying this measurement to practical applications, you can
use this winch to move the following:
FIGURE 12
a. Move a load from a dead stop of up to 2,000 lbs., on level ground.
b. Move a water craft of up to 5,000 lbs. and up to 18' long.
c. Maintain movement of a pneumatic tired rolling load of up to 6,000 lbs.
2. Pulling Capacity is reduced as incline increases. For example, rolling capacity is reduced from 6,000
lbs. on flat ground to 1,100 lbs. on a 45° incline. Please refer to the following chart for estimated pull-
ing capacity (rolling weight) on various inclines.

Using the Emergency Hand Crank
!
WARNING
1. Turn the clutch knob clockwise until hand tight.
Do not force it or over tighten.
2. Place the end of the hand crank over the flat-
tened end of threaded shaft on the left side of
the winch (Figure 13).
3. Rotate the hand crank clockwise to tighten
the cable. Continue to turn until the cable has
been completely retracted.
