MOVING PART HAZARD
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Do not operate or install winch without reading and
understanding the operators manual.
• Keep hands clear of wire rope, hook, and fairlead
opening during operation and when spooling.
• Stand clear of wire rope and load during operation.
• Keep others away.
• Always inspect winch installation and wire rope condition
before operating winch.
• Do not exceed winch rated capacity.
• Never touch wire rope or hook while in tension.
• Operator and bystanders must be aware of the stability
of the load and vehicle.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE - WINCH MOUNTING
Caution: To avoid property damage o
r
injury
Choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong to
withstand the loads you intend to winch.
Verify that the wire rope winds onto the bottom of the
drum when pulling a load.

STEP ONE - WINCH MOUNTING CON’T
To secure the winch, always use:
•A flat, secure mounting location at least 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) thick steel.
•5/16 in. lockwasher x 2.
•5/16-18 x 1in. long, hex head capscrew, Grade 5 or better x 2.
•Torque mounting bolts to 21 ft-lbs (28 Nm).

STEP TWO - WIRING INSTALLATION
Warning: Shock Hazard
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to severe injury or death.
Always use properly
g
rounded
110v AC receptacle protected
by Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).
Never remove ground pin
from plug.
Read installation and
operation instructions
thoroughly.
Never operate AC winch in
damp or wet environments.
•Connect the winch power cord to a properly grounded, 3-prong electrical
socket with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) rated at 10 amps.
•Verify that all wiring and power supply cord are positioned so that the wire
rope or moving load will not damage the cord.
•Always unplug the winch when not in use.
KNOW YOUR WINCH: Take time to fully understand
your winch and the winching operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
OVERLOADING/OVERHEATING
This winch is rated for intermittent duty. It should not be operated with the motor
slowed down to a low RPM. When the motor approaches stall speed, a very rapid
heat build-up occurs which may cause motor damage. Double line rigging will
reduce the amperage draw from the motor allowing longer continual use (see
rigging section).

MAINTENANCE
•No lubrication is required for the life of the winch.
•Inspect the wire rope before and after each winching operation. Replace when
damaged.
TO AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Wear heavy leather gloves when handling wire rope.
• Never winch with less than 5 wraps of wire rope around
drum.
STRETCHING THE WIRE ROPE
The life of a wire rope is directly related to the care and use it receives. During its
first use, a new wire rope must be spooled onto its drum under a load of at least 500
lb. (227kg). Spool out the entire wire rope length leaving 5 wraps on the drum, then
power in the wire rope under a load of 500 lb. (227kg) or more. This will stretch
new wire rope and create a good wire wrap around the drum. Failure to do so may
result in the outer wire wraps drawing into the inner wraps, binding, and damaging
the wire rope.
8
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
• Keep hands clear of wire rope, hook, and fairlead
opening during operation.
• Always use the hook strap to hold hook when
spooling.
SPOOLING IN UNDER LOAD
•The wire rope must always spool onto the bottom of the drum as indicated by
decal on the winch and illustrations on Page 5 of this manual.
•Power in the wire rope evenly and tightly on the drum. This prevents the
outer wire wraps from drawing into the inner wraps, binding and damaging
the wire rope.
•Avoid shock loads when spooling, by using the control switch intermittently
to take up wire rope slack. Shock loads can momentarily far exceed the winch
and wire rope ratings.
SPOOLING IN UNDER NO LOAD
•Assisted: Have your assistant hold the hook with the hook strap putting as
much constant tension on the wire rope as possible. While keeping tension, the
assistant should walk toward the winch while you operate the control switch
spooling in the wire rope. Release the switch when the hook is a minimum of 4 ft
(1.2m) from the fairlead opening. Spool in the remainder for storage.
9
SPOOLING IN UNDER NO LOAD con’t
•Unassisted: Arrange the wire rope to be spooled so it will not kink or tangle
when spooled. Be sure any wire rope on the drum is tightly and evenly layered.
Spool enough wire rope to complete the next full layer on the drum. Tighten and
straighten the layer. Repeat process until the hook is a minimum of 4ft (1.2m)
from the fairlead. Spool in the remainder for storage.
SPOOLING REMAINDER FOR STORAGE
Keep hands clear of wire rope, hook, and fairlead opening. Always use hook strap
to hold hook when spooling under no load. Carefully power in the remaining wire
rope, jogging the control switch to take up the last of the slack. Secure the hook to a
suitable anchor point near the winch. Be careful not to over tighten or damage may
occur to the wire rope or anchor point.
RIGGING
•Always spool out as much wire rope as possible when preparing rigging. Pick an
anchor as far away as is practical; this provides the winch with its greatest pulling
power.
•Rigging a double line with a snatch block will reduce the load on the winch to half
without significant loss of spooling speed.
10
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
•
Stand clear o
f
wire rope and load during operation.
•
Be
certain the anchor will withstand the load.
•
A
lways use a choker chain, wire choker rope,
or tree trunk protector on the anchor.
•
Take your time, sloppy rigging
causes accidents.
•Approximate pulling power:
