3.7- About the limits
- Never exceed the pulling limits of the winch.
- Do not overload the winch (for loads over capacity, we recommend the use of an optional pulley
block to double line the wire rope). It will do the job better at the load for which it was intended.
- Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the winch cable.
- Do not apply a load to the winch when the cable is fully extended. Keep at least 5 full turns of cable
on the reel.
IV. GETTING STARTED
4.1- Unpacking
Unpack product and accessories form packing.
Check that both product and accessories are free from damage.
4.2- Mounting the winch
Mount the winch on the vehicle or other fixed installation by using Screw, Nut, Flat Washer and Lock
Washer (not provided).
The winch should be aligned and secured to a solid part of the vehicle (either at the front or rear)
where the full rate load will be evenly distributed.
Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or
vehicle) that can withstand and hold the winch load.
Reminder! The winch is designed for horizontal pull,
not vertical pull.
Warning! The winch must be mounted with the wire
rope in an underwind direction (see Fig.2).
Improper mounting could damage your winch.
Fig. 2
4.3- Wiring the electric winch
Warning: ensure that you are using a 12V battery in good condition.
1. Lift the rubber seal on side of the winch, and plug in the remote control power cord.
2. Route the electric cord from the winch to your battery, taking care not to tangle it in moving parts,
or to create any hazard (e.g. tripping hazard…)
3. Connect the red cable to the positive (+/red) terminal of your 12V battery.
4. Connect the black cable to the negative (-/black) terminal of your 12V battery
Remarks:
Plan the wiring route between the winch and the battery. This route must be safe, away from moving
parts, obstacles and any other part that could cause damage, cut the cables or cause injury.
Caution: Battery cables should not be drawn taut. Leave slack for some cable movement.
5. Check rotating direction of the drum.
Pull and turn the clutch knob / lever to the "Off” position (drum can therefore turn freely).
Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob / lever to the "In" position.
Press the "Cable out" button on the handheld remote control switch, if the cable is releasing then the
connection is properly done in the right way.
Otherwise please change the line connected the motor. You should exchange the two lines, and repeat
the above-mentioned checking operation.
6. Battery warnings
a. Make sure to use a 12V automotive battery or equivalent in good condition.
Always connect Red with Red (Positive to Positive) and Black with black (Negative with
Negative).
b. Never use your winch or other accessory continuously until the battery completely runs down
