GEAR SELECTION

WARNING

Attempting to shift the winch while the rope is under

tension is dangerous and can result in injuries or

death. Make sure the winch rope is not in tension

before shifting the winch between gears.

Your winch is equipped with three different gear
settings. High, Neutral and Low. When in neutral the
“N” marking will show thru the cutout window on the
shift knob. See photo below.

The high gear setting is meant for rapid recovery
mode only and should not be used while the rope is
under load. To shift into high gear, rotate the gear
shifting knob clockwise until the “H” marking shows
thru the cutout window on the shift knob. See photo
below.

NOTE

High gear is for rapid recovery of the winch rope

only. It is not intended for pulling and will reduce the

life of the winch if used under load.

To shift into low, rotate the gear shifting knob counter-

clockwise until the “L” marking shows thru the cutout
window on the shift knob. See photo below.
