5.2 Use of MotoWinch;
1.
Check if all parts are present and undamaged.
2.
Assemble the MotoWinch Parts 1 through 9 as shown below. Pay attention that part 5 is orientated correctly, with spindle
on top and lever at bottom. On very soft or marshy surfaces, you also use the Teflon foot plate (optional) for load
spreading.
3.
Make sure the front of the front wheel is directed downwards by pulling the bottom end of the handle bars of the dropped
motorcycle toward the tank.
4.
Take the strap and wrap the loop around the lower handle of the motorcycle and pull the opposite free end through the
loop into a slipknot. Slide the slipknot as tight as possible. If the handle bars are fitted with metal hand guards, the strap
can be attached at the junction between handle bar and hand guard. If the motorcycle does not have metal hand guards,
the loop must be tightened on the vibration damper.
Take care that the strap is not tightened directly on the throttle
tube (in case the bike is on its right side) because this may cause damage to the throttle mechanism.
5.
Place the MotoWinch between the tank and the handle bars as close as possible to the strap attachment point.
6.
Use the Velcro strap on the storage bag to lock the front brake to prevent the front end from rolling away while winching.
7.
Make sure the pulley and ratchet are aligned as shown below. Take the loose end of the strap and guide it through the
pulley .
