is loaded, and read the safety instructions
before continuing the work.
3.
Engage the drum by placing the clutch
lever in the CLUTCH IN position. The clutch
does not always fully engage when the
lever is switched – turn the winch drum by
hand to check/ensure that the clutch has
engaged/is engaging.
4.
Connect the remote control cable to the
relay box.
5.
Start the vehicle's engine to keep the
vehicle battery charged during the
winching.
6.
Test run the winch for 1–2 seconds in each
direction.
7.
Stand beside the winch wire path when
operating with a wired remote control or
wireless remote control. Allow the motor
to stop before changing direction.
8.
Disconnect the wired remote control cable
and replace the connection's cover after
the winching is completed.
PULLING OF THE VEHICLE ON
WHICH THE PRODUCT IS MOUNTED
•
Find a suitable anchorage point, for
example a sturdy tree or a heavy, stable
block of stone. Always use a hook strap to
attach the wire to the anchorage point.
FIG. 2
•
Winch only with the wire parallel to or
only slightly angled relative to the
vehicle's longitudinal direction – a large
angle between the wire and the vehicle
causes the wire to bunch on one side of
the winch drum, resulting in damage to
the wire and winch. Short winches, to
straighten out the vehicle, can be done
with an angled wire. Longer winches
should always be done with the wire
parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal
direction, that is, at a right angle to the
winch drum's axis.
FIG. 3
•
When winching a heavy load place a
heavy blanket or jacket over the wire
about 1.5–1.8 m from the hook. The
weight will reduce the risk of the wire end
flying away, whipping effect, if the wire
breaks. Open the vehicle's hood to
provide extra protection from whip-lash
accidents.
FIG. 4
•
Double wires and snatch blocks should be
used in all situations that require more
than 70% of the winch's allowable
nominal wire pulling force. This reduces
the load on winch and wire by up to 50%,
depending on the angle between the wire
parts.

PULLING OF OTHER VEHICLE
1.
Turn the clutch lever to engaged position.
2.
Release the hook from the holder and
hook the nylon sling in the hook. Pull out
the winch wire to a suitable length.
3.
Hook the hook in the chassis of the
vehicle to be pulled.
4.
Start the engine on the vehicle the
product is mounted on.
5.
Connect the remote control.
6.
Wind up the winch wire until it is
tensioned.
7.
Check that all connections are correctly
made and free from dirt and soil, etc.
8.
Wind up the winch wire slowly until the
pulled vehicle is on flat and stable ground.
9.
Apply the parking brake in the vehicle that
has been pulled.
10. Release the wire tension and remove the
hook from the pulled vehicle.
11. Wind up the winch wire. Check that winch
wire is would up correctly.
12. Disconnect the remote control.
