Pull the necessary length of rope out and anchor it in the
appropriate place.
Gear lever located on the gear housing works as follows:
1. To disengage, switch gear transmission lever to
"OUT" or "LUZ," it will allow to unwind the rope freely.
DO NOT START THE MOTOR IN THIS POSITION!
2. To start the winding, before starting the motor,
switch the lever to "IN" or "PRACA." The winch is ready to
work. DO NOT START THE MOTOR BEFORE THE GEAR HAS
ENGAGED. PULL FOR ROPE TO PROTECT THE GEAR.
Before you begin, please check again all the connections,
rope and cables.
Hook the remote control to the winch. For safety reasons, it
is recommended to sit in the driver's place while pulling.
IMPORTANT
i
Before loading the winch, it is recommended to test
its operation by unwinding and winding the rope a few
times. It is essential to get to know the correct opera-
tion of the winch, both visually and acoustically.
Pulling on your own
When pulling your car with the winch on your own, start
the car engine, release the hand brake, switch the gears to
neutral, do not "help" the winch with the car engine.
Control the winch using "IN" and "OUT" buttons located
on the controller. Check regularly if the rope is wound on
the drum correctly.
If you stop the winch under load, put the stop blocks under
the wheels of the vehicle or the load. When putting the
stop blocks, do not stand behind the vehicle/load.

ATTENTION
!
1. Helping the winch consisting in the use of the car
engine may cause sudden jerks of the rope result-
ing in permanent damage to the winch.
2. Pulled vehicle may not be in any gear and auto-
matic transmission may not be in "park" position.
Otherwise serious damage may occur.
3. Do not wrap the anchor points with the rope.
This may lead to damage of these elements and the
rope. Use the original thimble (eye) on the rope,
shackles or pulley block.
4. Keep at a distance from the winch and rope in
operation.
5. Do not allow third parties to come near the
winch or rope in operation. Cracked or sliding rope
is a serious threat to life and health.
6. After you finish working with the winch, discon-
nect it from the power supply using the high cur-
rent switch - "disconnecting switch" and leave the
gear lever in the "OUT" or "LUZ" position.
WINCH LUBRICATION
AND MAINTENANCE
A new winch is factory-protected and does not require ad-
ditional preservation procedures. The winch requires pe-
riodic maintenance and technical surveys, depending on
the manner and conditions in which it is operated.
