An electric winch is like any other
motor driven power tool such as
an electric drill or saw. The electric
motor should not be allowed to
become excessively hot. Normal
precautions will extend the life
of your motor. Keep the duration
of pulls as short as possible. If
the end of the motor becomes
uncomfortably hot to touch,
stop winching and allow the
motor to cool down.
If the winch
motor stalls,
do not continue to apply power
to the winch.
European Union
Noise The noise level of this winch in operation is below 92 dB(A).
Emergency Stop In order to conform to Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, each machine installation must be
fitted with an Isolator (Part Number 8370) whereby the machine can be brought safely to a complete stop.

an easy action lever which disen-
gages the gearbox to allow the
wire rope to be pulled out without

when pulling out the wire rope.

Your S series winch is a very powerful
machine. Treat it with respect, use it
with caution and always follow the
safety guidelines.
The wire rope
may break
before the winch stalls. For heavy
loads, use a pulley block to reduce
the load on the wire rope.
1. The S3000, S4000, and S5000
winch is rated at 3,000, 4,000,
and 5,000 pounds (1361, 1814,
2268 kg) (single line) capacity on
the wire rope layer closest to the
drum. DO NOT OVERLOAD. DO
NOT ATTEMPT PROLONGED
PULLS AT HEAVY LOADS. Do not
maintain power to the winch if
the motor stalls. Overloads can
damage the winch and/or the
wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions. FOR LOADS

RECOMMEND THE USE OF THE
OPTIONAL PULLEY BLOCK TO
DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE
(Figures 3 & 18). This reduces the
load on the winch and the strain
on the wire rope by approximately
50%. If attaching back to vehicle,
attach to the frame or other load
bearing part. The vehicle engine
should be running during winch
operation to minimize battery drain
and maximize winch power and
speed. If considerable winching is
performed with the engine off,
the battery may be too weak to
restart the engine.
2. AFTER READING AND UNDER-
STANDING THIS MANUAL,
LEARN TO USE YOUR
WINCH. After
installing the winch, practice
using it so you will be familiar
with it when the need arises.

3. DO NOT "move" your vehicle to
assist the winch in pulling the
load. The combination of the
winch and vehicle pulling together
could overload the wire rope and
the winch.
4. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do
not allow people to remain in the
area during winching operations.
ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE
ROPE, HOOK AND WINCH. IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT OF ANY COM-
PONENT FAILURE, IT IS BEST TO
BE OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
5. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIP-
MENT FREQUENTLY. A FRAYED
WIRE ROPE WITH BROKEN
STRANDS SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. Always replace
wire rope with the manufacturer's
identical replacement part (see
Replacement Parts List).
Periodically check the winch
installation to ensure that all
bolts are tight.
6. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES
when handling wire rope. DO
NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE
THROUGH YOUR HANDS EVEN
WHEN WEARING GLOVES.
