OPERATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

The steel cable must be broken-in before using to pull a heavy
load. The break-in process will stretch the cable, ensure the
individual wires are seated and the wire compacted. Run the
winch with a light load of approximately 500 lb several times,
before normal use.
Also use the weight when spooling the cable onto the winch.
This will provide the correct tension when spooling.
OPERATION
This winch is designed for intermittent use only. Do not run the
motor for more than a minute. Allow the motor to cool for
several minutes between tasks.
This winch does not have a manual clutch. The brake will
automatically hold the load. Use the remote or hand crank to
release tension or spool out line if needed.
1. Make sure the operator can safely control the winch before
performing any tasks with it and confirm they are familiar
with all safety and operating instructions.
2. Inspect the winch, steel cable (E) and terminal tackle before
each use. Replace any damaged or frayed components.
3. Connect the winch to the battery or install the hand crank.
4. Press the reverse button or use the hand crank to spool the
cable out until you have enough. Make sure there is always
five turns of cable on the winch drum.
5. Attach the steel cable to the load with a hook, shackle,
sling or chain capable of withstanding the strain from
winching the load. Make sure the terminal tackle is secure
to avoid an unintended disconnection while winching.
5.1 Consult a vehicle owner's manual for anchor points to
connect the steel cable's terminal tackle.
