6. Installation
Read the entire safety instructions at the beginning of this manual
before installing the device.
1. Choose a suitable mounting location. Take care of the following points:
o The mounting structure and hardware must be able to support the
winch and the load without damage or weakening. If necessary, use
steel reinforcement plates or additional bracing.
o Make sure that the handle [5] can rotate freely by 360°.
2. Place the winch on the mounting surface [6] and mark the location of
the mounting holes.
3. Before drilling, verify that there are no hidden parts or structural pieces
in the mounting area that can be damaged.
4. Drill the holes at the marked locations.
5. Use three 3/8" (M10) bolts, washers, and lock nuts (not incl.) to fix the
winch frame [1] on the mounting surface [6].
7. Installing the Winch Line
Make sure that the line is strong enough to move the load. Obtain
the line manufacturer's recommendations for suitable line sizes
and types. Use an appropriate end connection to attach the hook
to the line. (Cable, rope, hook, and hardware for attaching are not
included.) Always follow the line manufacturer's safety and
operation instructions.
You can use the winch either with a rope or with a steel cable (wire rope).
The attachment method differs depending on the type of line.
7.1 Rope
Attaching a rope to the winch drum requires no bolts, nuts, or rope clamp.
1. Push the pawl [2] down so that it is disengaged from the gear and the
drum can rotate freely.
2. Guide the rope end under the hub of the drum [4].
3. Thread the rope through the round holes in the drum's side. There are
two methods, depending on the weight of the line. See the illustration
below for instructions.
