Never attach the cable to itself. When the vehicle is on a slope, apply chocks to the 
wheels. When pulling a load, the winch should be run for the shortest time possible. If 
the motor becomes too hot to touch, stop winching immediately and allow the motor to 
cool for a few minutes. Do not run the winch for more than a minute if you are at or near 
the rated load. 

 

CAUTION 

 

If the motor stalls, do not continue to  apply power to the winch. Electric winches are 
designed and manufactured for intermittent use. They should not be used for 
continuous usage applications. 

 

Never disengage the clutch while the winch is loaded. 

 

Use the safety strap when handling the hook to wind or unwind the cable.

 EQUIPMENT INFORMATION

 

 
 

6.1. General information 

This winch is a powerful machine which must be handled with extreme caution with attention paid 
to all cautions and warnings indicated in this manual. It is important that you understand its 
specifications and the basics of how it works so that you can use  it safely and with complete 
confidence whenever you need to.  

Below, you will find a list of the winch’s components and their functions. We recommend that you 
practice using the winch before finding yourself in a situation where you need to use it. 

1.  This 

winch

  is designed for maximum pull strength with a single layer of cable wound around 

the winch drum (the first layer). 

2.  The 

motor

 is fed by a 12-volt battery which powers the gear mechanism that spins the drum 

and winds the cable. Before use, ensure the winch is connected to the correct supply voltage. 

3.  The winch 

drum

 is the cylinder around which the cable is wound. It can unwind or rewind the 

cable, depending on which button is pressed on the remote control. 

4.  The winch may be equipped with a 

cable

  (galvanised steel aircraft cable or synthetic cable, 

depending on the model), which is specifically designed for a rated pulling load. The cable is 
wound around the drum from the bottom through the roller fairlead and has a loop at the end to 
allow the hook to be attached. 

5.  When the winch is used at an angle, the 

roller fairlead

 guides the cable onto the drum. This 

minimises damage to the cable caused by abrasion on the winch support or the vehicle 
bumper. 

6.  The 

gearbox 

converts the power of the motor into an extreme pulling force.
