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
1. Make sure the operator can safely control the winch before
performing any functions with it and that they are familiar with
all safety and operating instructions.
2. Inspect the winch, steel cable (D) and terminal tackle before each
use. Replace any damaged or frayed components before use.
3. Connect the winch to a 12VDC power supply (see Wiring).
4. Pull the clutch knob (E) out, twist a
quarter turn and release to
disengage the brake. The knob will
rest above the drum (Fig. 4).
5. Pull out the cable by the hook strap
(J) until you have the desired length
out.
5.1 Make sure there is always five turns of cable on the winch drum.
6. 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.
6.1 Consult the vehicle owner's manual for anchor points to
connect the steel cable's terminal tackle.
7. Re-engage the clutch by twisting the clutch knob until it locks in
place. The knob flanges will fit inside the grooves and the knob
will retract to rest against the drum.
8. Check that the line is straight without kinks or twisted. Do not
wrap the steel cable around the load or wind it around corners or
obstacles.
