Before Use
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable protective gloves when handling the winch. Not doing so may
result in cuts, or harm to the operator.
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Roller fairlead assembly
1. Align the mounting holes on the Roller Fairlead (19) with the holes on the Roller Fairlead Mount
(18) on the Mounting Bracket (17).
2. From the inside of the Mounting Bracket, insert two 13mm Bolts (Image A) and fasten securely
using the supplied Nyloc Nuts.
Clutch operation
WARNING: Do not operate the clutch when there is load present on the Cable (13).
• The clutch allows the winch to freewheel for manual adjustment of the Cable.
• Disengage the clutch by moving the Clutch Lever (12) into the raised position.
• Engage the clutch by moving the Clutch Lever into the lower position, so it is flush in its seat.
Bracket assembly
1. Place the Mounting Bracket (17) and Roller Fairlead (19) assembly on a secure, flat surface.
2. Place the Winch Assembly (8) behind the bracket assembly, Bracket Mounting Foot (14) down
(Image B) in preparation for feeding the Cable (13) through the Roller Fairlead.
3. Disengage the clutch by turning the Clutch Lever (12) so it is in the raised position. Pull out the
Cable to the full extent of its travel, and return the Clutch Lever to its lowest position.
4. Remove the Cable from the Drum (11) by unscrewing the hex screw using a 2.5mm hex key
(not provided).
5. Set aside the Cable in a secure location.
6. Place the Winch Assembly on to the Mounting Bracket, ensuring the correct orientation, and
align the Bracket Mounting Feet with the four Winch Assembly Securing Holes (15) in the
Mounting Bracket.
7. Insert the Nuts (provided) into the recesses located in the Bracket Mounting Feet (Image C), and
fasten the Mounting Bracket to the Winch Assembly using the Tapered Hex Bolts
(tighten to 15 – 20Nm).
8. Feed the Cable through the Roller Fairlead and refit the end to the Drum.
Note: The Cable should be pulled inwards from the bottom of the Drum (Fig. I).
Vehicle mounting
WARNING: Winch operation exerts extra stresses to the vehicle structure. Mount the winch to
a structurally reinforced part of the vehicle such as the chassis, by means of a vehicle-specific winch
mounting point, to avoid potential damage to the vehicle or injury to the user.
Vehicles with a winch-mounting facility:
• Locate the winch-mounting area as specified in the vehicle instruction manual.
1. Centralise and align the winch and bracket assembly with the Mounting Bracket (17) on
the vehicle.
2. Mount the winch to the vehicle using the Vehicle Fixing Holes (16) and fastening with the 13mm
Bolts and Nyloc Nuts (provided).
Vehicles without a winch-mounting facility:
• An appropriate winch-mounting support bracket will need to be used to securely attach the
winch to the vehicle.
• When assessing how to mount the winch support bracket to the vehicle, always take into account
the structural integrity of the area to which it is to be mounted.
WARNING: DO NOT attach this winch to bumpers, body panels or any other components that
are not capable of taking load from external forces.
Connecting to the power source
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect the vehicle's battery before making adjustments to the
connections; not doing so may potentially cause excessive sparking that could injure the operator,
or short nearby electrical connections.
WARNING: When working next to, or moving lead acid batteries, ensure you are wearing splash-
resistant safety goggles and electrically insulated gloves.
Note: If you wish to replace the supplied 12V cables with longer cables, connect cables that are
suitable for the sustained current demands, not peak/surge (see Specification). Also make sure the
insulation of the cable is correct for the environment in which the cables will be used.
1. Carefully plan a route for the cables, from the winch to the battery. Ensure the cables are away
from elements that could cause potential damage.
Note: Take extra care when choosing a path for the cables. They should be away from components
such as the exhaust system, engine block, fuel lines, brake lines and moving suspension
components, with minimal exposure to outdoor elements.

2. Connect the Negative Connector (21) to the Negative Terminal (7), then the Positive Connector
(20) to the Positive Terminal (6) by removing the nuts located on the terminals, fitting the
connectors and fastening the nuts back on snug.
Note: Both the Negative Connector and Positive Connector feature rubber boots to protect the
terminals; these will need to be pulled back during installation then pushed over the terminals.
3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal clamp followed by the positive battery terminal clamp
on the vehicle.
4. Connect both the Negative Battery Connector (1) and the Positive Battery Connector (2) to the
battery terminal clamps of the vehicle.
5. Reconnect the negative battery terminal clamp, followed by the positive battery terminal Clamp,
and fasten down securely.
• Once the winch is connected to the power supply, the winch will become immediately operable.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as
suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Specific training is essential before using this equipment. It must only be used by
competent and responsible individuals, taking care not to exceed the limitations of the equipment.
WARNING: The power draw from the winch will cause the battery to drain excessively; it is
recommended to keep the vehicle's engine running during winch operation as otherwise the
vehicle may not start after use.
WARNING: Never use the winch to pull fixed or obstructed loads.
WARNING: check the condition of the Cable (13); even slight imperfections in the Cable can
greatly decrease the Cable's ability to carry load.
Load capacity
WARNING: DO NOT exceed the loading capacity of the winch (see Specification). Be aware of
dynamic loading; sudden loads may cause excessive strain on the winch. Gradients will also impact
the load capacity.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to winch an object using the Cable (13) at its maximum extension.
There should always be one layer of Cable wrapped around the Drum (11). The last layer of Cable is
coloured red, and should not be extended off the Drum for winching operations.
Note: Always initiate movements of the load with the lowest available speed.
• The rated pull load is determined by the amount of Cable wound around the Drum. Please see
the table below for the rated load capacity at various cable lengths:

Using the winch
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable protective gloves when handling the winch. Not doing so
may result in cuts, or may cause harm to the operator. Even with gloves on, do not slide the Cable
(13) through the hands.
WARNING: Keep clear of the Roller Fairlead (19) during operation. Do not try to guide the Cable,
and never place fingers through the Hook (9). Hold the Hook using the Hook Strap (22) instead.
WARNING: Never use the winch as a hoist or to tow another vehicle. Prolonged load on the
winch will cause damage to its internal components.
WARNING: Check the Cable isn't damaged prior to use. Do not use the winch if there is damage
to the Cable, such as kinks or fraying. Even minor damage can lead to the Cable failing; a damaged
Cable must be removed from service immediately.
Note: Do not use recovery straps in connection with the winch. These can suddenly whip back
towards the user during operation.
Note: When the winch is not in use, disconnect the winch from the vehicles power supply. The winch
consistently draws power from the vehicles battery when connected. See Specification for the power
consumption without load. It is possible for the winch to drain a battery and prevent starting of a
vehicle if left connected, even without load.
1. Align the winching vehicle with the vehicle to be recovered in a direct straight line.
Note: If it is not possible to align the vehicles in the direction of the desired pull, see 'Angle pull' .
2. Put the winch vehicle in neutral and engage the parking brake.
Note: If the vehicle with the winch attached is supposed to remain stationary during winching:
Place wheel chocks in front of the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving towards the object
that is to be winched.
3. Release the Clutch Lever (12) and free-spool the Cable outwards in the direction of the load.
