KILL SWITCH INSTALLATION
It is recommended that a kill switch be installed with your winch to isolate the winch to prevent inadvertent
operation of the winch. It is recommend that the kill switch we fitted in a location where is it easily accessible when
winching. The following is a guide only, it is up to the end user to best determine the location.
1. Disconnect the long BLACK from the negative (-) side from the vehicle battery
2. Pick a suitable position for the kill switch in an easily accessible location &
3. Using the kill switch bracket as a guide mark the four mounting holes where the kill switch will be installed
4. Remove the kill switch bracket & drill four marked holes, making sure the drill bit will not damage wiring or other
parts when the drill bit exits
5. Debur all holes & treat raw surfaces with rust preventative
6. Ensure the kill switch is to the “OFF” position
7. Using the long RED cable from the vehicles battery (+) connect it to one side of the kill switch (it does not
matter which side of the kill switch)
8. Connect the short red wire to solenoid box switch (+), see diagram 1 (position 3 marked on the solenoid box)
9. Connect the other end of the short red wire to the kill switch
10. Secure the kill switch bracket using suitable fasteners
11. Connect the long RED cable to the positive (+)side of the vehicle battery
12. Re-connect the long BLACK from the negative (-) side from the vehicle battery
13. Check that all connections are secure &cables are not rubbing or chaffing or against any sharp edges
14. Turn the kill switch to the “ON” position & operate the winch in the “OUT” position. While the winch is still
operating in the out position turn the kill switch to the “OFF” & the winch should lose all power.
WINCH OPERATION
SUGGESTION:
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you actually need
to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well as you can see it operate. Get to
recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you
will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature to you.
OPERATING:
1.
Ensure the vehicle is secure by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels
2.
Pull out the winch cable the desired length and connect to an anchor point.
The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling of the cable for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The shifter tab
located on the gear housing of the winch operates the clutch as follows:
a)
To disengage the clutch, move the clutch lever to the "OUT" position. Cable may be free spooled off the drum.
b)
To engage the clutch, move the clutch lever into the "IN" position. The winch is now ready for operation.
3.
Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding.
4.
Plug in the winch hand control. It is recommended that the winching operation takes place from the driver's
position to ensure safe operation. It is also recommended that a heavy blanket be placed over the cable, and the
bonnet placed in the upright position.
5.
To commence winching operation, start vehicle engine, select neutral in transmission, maintain engine speed at
idle.
6.
Operate the remote control switch to IN or OUT until the vehicle has been retrieved. Regularly check the winch to
ensure cable is winding onto the drum evenly.
NOTE: The winch is designed for intermittent use, not continuous use. This is to prevent over heating.
