Note
•
If you need to extend the cables, use minimum 40mm² flexible welding cables.
•
Always fit a battery isolator switch to the positive supply line to allow for emergency
stop and to prevent unintentional starting and to protect the winch if the vehicle is
jump-started.
•
All earth connections must be fed from the battery. Never attempt to use a chassis earth.
•
Check all connections are secure and protected from corrosion with petroleum jelly,
copper grease or similar.
•
If there is an overload circuit breaker supplied, please mount this in line with the
positive power cable (fix one end to the battery terminal, and connect the positive
power cable to the winch on the other).
•
Do not use a roller fairlead with synthetic rope as this can trap and damage the fibres
Remote Control
•
The remote control is a combined wired / wireless unit in one with a removable lead.
•
Once the winch has been set up then the remote hand control can be operated
either in the WIRED OR WIRELESS mode.
•
It is recommended that for the initial set-up of the winch (before applying any load)
that the winch is operated in the WIRED mode.
•
Take care when inserting the wireless remote plug into the control box socket. You
must line up the socket end (Fig. E) with the groove in the socket (Fig. F).
•
To use the remote hand controller in the WIRELESS mode, remove the control cable
from the control box, unplug the remote hand controller from the control cable and
press the MODE button on the remote hand controller until the green light marked
WIRELESS is illuminated.
•
Make sure the winch remote indicator light is in the correct mode before using it.
•
Use the thumb switch to operate the winch 'IN' or 'OUT'.
