WINCH ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING

1. Your winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in
this class of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available that
utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular vehicle and mounting
channels. If you cannot find a kit locally, contact us and we will
provide you with the name of a dealer near you. If you utilize the
mounting channel, you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat
surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum and gear
housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will
allow even distribution of the full rated load and reduce the chance
of damaging winch or equipment. Poor installation contributes to
approx 90% equipment or winch damage.
2. Start by connecting the Roller Fairlead to the Mounting Channel
using the 2 screw cap assemblies (Make sure the bolt is placed
through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the
channel. This will allow enough clearance for the winch to be placed
in the channel without obstruction.)
3. Assemble the winch to the (optional) Mounting Channel by first
pulling and releasing the clutch knob to "Out" position (Free
Spooling). Pull out a few inches of cable from the drum and feed the
wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting channel
and roller fairlead. Now, using the remaining screw cap assemblies
secure the winch to the mounting channel.
4. First connect up the short red and black leads to the motor terminals
and then connect the long battery leads to a battery as per the
assembly drawing. Remember every type of winch is different.
Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive. Wear eye
protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over
battery while making connections.
5. Assemble the Clevis Hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the
Clevis Hook, connect the Clevis Hook to the cable and mount the pin
back to the Clevis Hook.
CAUTION
6. Always use the Hand Saver (Optional) when free-spooling and re-
spooling the wire rope. Using the Hand Saver keeps your hands and
fingers away from the rotating drum.
7. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull or turn the clutch knob to the
"OUT" "Disengage" position (Free-spooling). Pull out some cable
from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob to the "IN" "Engage"
position to engage the gears. Press the cable out button on the
remote lead switch. If the drum is turning and releasing cable, then
your connections are accurate. If the drum is turning and collecting
more cable, then reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat and check
rotation.
For D style winch (without solenoid) the winch operation is controlled
directly through the motor and not through the control box assembly.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or boulder.
ALWAYS use a sling or strap as an anchor point on a object, Never use the
cable or hook as a anchor point attached to an object.
NEVER attach the clevis hook back onto the cable as this could cause
damage to the cable.
Do not winch from an acute angle as the wire rope will bind up on
one side of the drum causing damage to wire rope (Bird Nesting) and
cause major damage to winch and possible equipment.
