WARNING: Chemical and fire hazard

• Failure to observe these instructions could lead to severe injury or death.
• Always remove jewelry and wear eye protection.
• Never lean over battery while making connections.
• When drilling, always verify that the area is a safe distance from the fuel line, fuel tank, brake lines, electrical wires, etc.
• Never route electrical cables across sharp edges, through or near moving parts or parts that become hot.
• Always insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.
• Always install terminal boots as directed in installation instructions.

WARNING: Falling or crushing hazard

• Failure to observe these instructions could lead to severe injury or death.
• Never use as an overhead hoist, or to suspend a load.
• Never use to lift or move persons.

GENERAL SAFETY
Know your winch: Take time to fully read and understand this manual.

• Never operate this winch if you are under 16 years of age.
• Never operate this winch when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Never exceed winch or cable rated capacity. Double line using a snatch block to reduce winch load.

INSTALLATION SAFETY

• Always choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum pulling capacity of your winch.
• Always use factory-approved switches, remote controls, accessories and installation components.
• Always use Grade 5 or better hardware, never weld bolts and never use longer bolts than those supplied by the manufacturer.
• Winch mounting and installation of hook to hook loop is necessary before wiring is complete.
• Always position fairlead with WARNING label on top.
• Always spool the cable onto the drum as indicated by the drum rotation label on the winch. This is required for automatic brake to work (if winch is so equipped) and for correct installation orientation.
• Always pre-stretch cable and re-spool under load before use. This will reduce the risk of the cable binding and becoming damaged.

WINCH SAFETY

• Failure to observe these instructions could lead to minor or moderate injury.
• Always inspect winch installation and cable condition before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged cable must be replaced immediately. Loose installation must be corrected immediately.
• Never leave remote control plugged into winch while free spooling, rigging or idling.
• Never hook cable back onto itself. This will damage the cable. Always use a choker chain, wire choker rope, or tree trunk protector on the anchor.
• Prior to winching, always remove any element that may interfere with the safe operation of the winch.
• Always take your time when rigging for a winch pull.
• Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand the load, and the strap or chain will not slip.
• Never engage or disengage the clutch if the winch is under load, cable is in tension or cable drum is moving.
• Always unspool as much cable as possible when rigging. Double line or pick a distant anchor point.
• Never winch with less than five wraps of cable around the drum. This could cause the cable to come loose from the drum.
• Always stand clear of cable and load during operation.
• Never touch cable or hook while in tension or under load.
• Never touch the cable or hook while someone is at the remote switch or during winching operation.
• Never touch cable or hook while remote control is plugged into the winch.
• Always stand clear of cable and load and keep others away while winching.

MOUNTING YOUR WINCH

WARNING

• Always connect red wire to the positive pole of battery, connect black wire to the negative pole.
• Do not use your winch continuously or you will drain the battery.
• Keep your engine running while using this winch, to continually recharge the engine. However, exercise extreme caution when working around a running vehicle.
• Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.You may suffer injury from acid burns.
• Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses when working around or with a battery.

NOTE: Your winch is designed to be mounted temporarily using the Trailer Hitch Mounting Bracket. However, you may also mount your winch permanently.

PERMANENT MOUNTING:

1. Select a mounting site on the bumper of your vehicle, truck bed, boat trailer, or other suitable location.
   NOTE: This winch can generate 2,000 lbs. of pulling force. Be sure the location you select can withstand this much force. You may need to use steel reinforcement plates, or weld on additional bracing, depending on the desired mounting location.

2. Align the winch with the desired location, and mark for drilling the locations of the two holes on the base of the winch.

3. Drill the hole locations on your vehicle.

4. Using hardened steel bolts at least M8 in diameter, install your winch to the location.

TEMPORARY MOUNTING:

1. Attach the Adapter Plate, as shown:
2. Index the heads of the plate studs into the keyhole slots on the back of the winch.
3. Attach the Winch/Adapter Plate assembly to your trailer hitch by inserting the trailer hitch ball through the shaped hole in the Adapter Plate.

USING YOUR WINCH

1. Put your vehicle in neutral.
   WARNING: Never winch with your vehicle in gear or in park, as this could damage your vehicle’s transmission.

2. Engage the emergency brake.

3. Use suitable chocks to prevent the wheels from rolling.

4. To pull out the cable, turn the clutch knob (#15) clockwise to “UNLOAD”, then pull out the cable you need. Always leave at least five turns of cable on the spool to prevent pulling the cable out of the winch.

5. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap or chain. Never wrap the cable around the object and hook onto the cable itself. This can cause damage to the object being pulled, and kink or fray the cable.

6. Turn the clutch knob counterclockwise to “LOAD”.

7. When it is safe to do so, use the power switch in the remote control to retract the cable and winch the item as desired.

PULLING CAPACITY

1. This winch has a capacity of 2,000 lbs. Applying this measurement to practical applications, you can use this winch to move the following.
   • a. Move a load up to 2,000 lbs. from a dead stop on level ground.
   • b. Move a water Bourne craft of up to 5,000 lbs.
   • c. Maintain movement of a wheeled vehicle of up to 6,000 lbs.
2. Pulling capacity is reduced as incline increases. For example, rolling capacity is reduced from 6,000 lbs. on flat ground to 1,100 lbs. on a 45-degree incline. Please refer to the graph on the right for estimated pulling capacity (rolling weight) on various inclines.

USING THE EMERGENCY HAND CRANK

WARNING: Do not use the emergency hand crank to assist an operating winch. This will damage the winch and may cause personal injury.
Use the emergency hand crank only in the event of a dead battery and when the cable is still loaded to help loosen and retract the cable temporarily. Never use the emergency hand crank to load the cable.

1. Turn the clutch knob clockwise to “LOAD” until hand tight. Place the emergency hand crank on the long shaft.
2. Place the end of the emergency hand crank outside.
3. Rotate the emergency hand crank counterclockwise to tighten the cable. Turn it clockwise to loosen it until there is no load.

MAINTENANCE

1. Lubricate the cable occasionally with a light oil.
2. Grease the gears every 6 months. To do this, remove the clutch knob and separate the left and right housing. Use any good quality waterproof grease.
