INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MODEL NO: ATV1135.V2, ATV2040.V2
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH
IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
‰ WARNING! Winching a vehicle, especially with a steel cable, has an inherent
danger element to it, and there is always some risk of injury. Proper training
is highly advised and constant risk assessment needs to be undertaken.
‰ WARNING! Never connect DC powered winches to AC current. Motor damage or
fatal shock may occur.
x DO NOT lift or hoist loads over people. DO NOT lift loads vertically. The
winch was designed for ground use only.
x DO NOT overload. Be sure all equipment used meets the winch’s maximum line
pull rating. We recommend using the pulley block option to double line the
wire rope (see fig.1). Double line with a pulley block to reduce the load on
the winch, wire rope and battery. When double lining, pulley blocks should be
rated to a minimum of two times the winch’s line pull rating. The cable may
break before the winch stalls. For heavy loads use a pulley block to reduce
the load on the cable.
x DO NOT immerse the winch in water. Doing so will immediately effect load
holding and brake efficiency and in time will damage the motor and cause
accelerated gearbox wear invalidating the warranty.
x DO NOT operate the winch with less than 5 turns of wire rope around the
winch drum, since the wire rope end may not withstand the full load.
x DO NOT pull from an angle for too long and allow the cable to over spool on
one side of the drum, to a point where the wire rope comes into contact with
the tie bars, because this can cause the tie bars to break from the castings,
damage the wire rope and invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! The winch’s line pull capacity is the maximum line pull of the first layer. Never operate a winch by pulling a load that is at or over the rated capacity.
DO NOT hook the wire cable back to itself because it could damage the wire rope. Use a Self Recovery Kit, (see fig.2) contact your stockist for full details.
√ Make sure the winch is securely mounted on the vehicle or bracket before
operation.
√ Before moving a load inspect the wire rope. Prevent kinks and uneven wire
layering before they occur. Loosened wire rope must be properly tensioned
under a load of about 100lbs (45.4kg).
√ Position a Wire Rope Dampener (available as an optional extra) over the wire
rope near the hook end when pulling, as this will slow the snap back of a
broken wire rope and prevent serious injury and/or damage.
x DO NOT move your vehicle to assist the winch in pulling the load. It will be
easy to overload, and cause wire rope damage.
x DO NOT enter the danger zone. Keep away from the danger zone during
operation. The danger zone is the area of the winch drum, the fairlead (if
fitted), the wire rope, the pulley block (if used), and the hook.
x DO NOT approach or span the wire rope when the winch is under load.
√ When using the winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral, apply the hand brake and chock all wheels. The vehicle engine should be running during winch operation so that the battery is fully charged. Never use the winch if there is any doubt as to the efficiency of the battery.
x DO NOT disconnect the free spool clutch when there is load on the winch.
After operation release the load immediately. DO NOT allow the cable to
tighten anymore.
√ Inspect winch, wire rope, hooks and other accessories frequently. A mashed,
pinched, kinked or frayed wire rope with broken strands should be replaced at
once because a damaged wire rope has a reduced load carrying capability and
could break easily.
√ Keep tension on the cable to re-spool the cable on the drum tightly after
operating. It must be respooled with a load of about 45.4kg (100lbs).
▲ DANGER! DO NOT allow the wire rope to slide through your hands, use heavy
rigger gloves when handling wire rope.
√ Disconnect the clutch first then use the hand saver strap to hitch the hook
to pull the wire rope. DO NOT pull the wire rope using your
finger and DO NOT put your finger through the hook.
x DO NOT operate the winch when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
√ If there is something wrong with the winch, cut the power at once, then
check it carefully. If required, return it to your stockist for servicing.
√ Wear eye protection, insulated work clothes, non-slip shoes, keep hair tied
up and wear rigger gloves. Remove all jewellery.
x DO NOT machine or alter the winch in any way.
√ Take good care of the winch when not in use.
‰ WARNING! Disconnect the battery before working in or around the fairlead or
the wire rope drum, (the danger zone). Never tuck the remote under your arm or
allow anyone to hold it when you are in the danger zone, so as to avoid the
hand control being accidentally activated.
‰ WARNING! DO NOT use the winch to hold loads in place. Use other means of
holding loads such as tie down straps.
‰ WARNING! If you are within four feet of the winch DO NOT hold the wire rope
and remote control at the same time.
‰ WARNING! Mount the winch to a firm base. Be sure that your structural support is strong enough to withstand the weight and rated pulling strength of the winch.
NOTE: Whilst mounting orientation is at your discretion, the winch is to be operated with the wire rope in an under wound orientation on the drum. The winch is designed to rope out and rope in, in one direction. DO NOT attempt to reverse the operation of the winch.
‰ WARNING! DO NOT weld or machine any part of the winch, this will weaken it
and void the warranty.
‰ WARNING! Batteries contain explosive gases. The following precautions should
be taken before making battery connections: wear eye protection; remove all
jewellery; follow the wiring diagram included in the installation
instructions; keep spectators away. In the event of a battery explosion, acid
should be washed away as soon as possible, seek medical help immediately.
‰ WARNING! Use of any other accessories or attachments other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may result in personal injury or
property damage and could void the warranty.
NOTE: The safety precautions and instructions discussed in this manual can’t cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product but must be applied by the operator.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1. WINCH INSTALLATION
5.1.1. Mount the winch on the vehicle or other fixed installation by us ing M8 x1.25 x 30mm screws, M8 nuts, Ø8mm flat and spring washers.
‰ WARNING! Mount the winch so that the wire rope underwinds. Improper mounting could damage your winch and void your warranty. See fig.4.
5.2. ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION (REFER TO FIG.5)
‰ WARNING! These winches work on standard automotive 12V DC only, never connect to a 230V mains, as solenoid burnout or fatal shock may occur.
NOTE: Make sure the battery is disconnected.
5.2.1. Plug the switch plug into the switch socket. Plug the green wire into
the green wire on the relay block and the black wire into its connector on the
relay block.
5.2.2. Connect the red wire to the red marked terminal on the relay block and
to the positive (+) terminal of the battery Connect the black wire to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
5.2.3. Connect the yellow wire to the positive terminal of the winch, marked yellow on the motor terminal, and to the yellow marked terminal of the relay block. Connect the blue wire to the negative terminal on the winch, marked with blue paint mark), then connect the other end to the blue terminal on the relay block. See fig.5.
NOTE: Your battery must be kept in good condition. Make sure the battery cables are not drawn across any surfaces which could possibly damage them. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short circuit. Keep all connections clean especially in the remote control switch and receptacle. In salty environments use silicon sealer to protect from corrosion.
‰ WARNING! Double check the wiring. Incorrect wiring could result in motor burn out and/or personal injury.
5.2.4. Connect the battery terminals.
5.2.5. Check the rotational direction of the drum. Select the freespool
position with the clutch knob, pull out some cable from the dr um, and then
select the ‘In’ position. Press the ‘Cable out’ button on the hand held
switch, if the cable is paying out, then the winch is correctly connected. If
it is paying in, the cables need swapping round the other way.
6. OPERATION
‰ WARNING! The switch assembly must be kept free of dirt and moisture to ensure safe operation.
6.1. Turn the clutch knob so that the drum can turn freely by hand.
6.2. Use the hand saver strap to pull the cable’s hook so that it can be attached to the load. See fig.3.
‰ WARNING! Check that at least five turns of wire rope remain on the drum before operation.
6.3. Switch the clutch knob back to the ‘In’ position, (so that the drum can’t be turned by hand).
‰ WARNING! The clutch must be fully engaged before winching. Never operate the clutch whilst the drum is turning. DO NOT re-adjust the clutch knob, as it has been adjusted and permanently locked in place with a thread locking compound in the factory.
6.4. Press the cable ‘In’ button on the hand held unit, to pay in the cable and the ‘Out’ button to pay the cable out.
▲ DANGER! Never handle the wire rope or rigging while anyone else is holding the hand held control switch.
‰WARNING! Always use the hand saver to pull the hook, DO NOT hold the hook with your hand. This is important not only when reeling in wire rope, but also when removing wire rope from the winch under power.
6.5. Equipping the winch with its roller fairlead (supplied) will substantially reduce wear on the wire rope during angle pulls, because rollers eliminate heavy rubbing and abrasion to the wire rope, see fig.8.
NOTE: DO NOT winch your vehicle in gear or in park, which would damage your vehicle’s transmission.
xDO NOT wrap the wire rope around an object and hook the cable back onto
itself, this can cause damage to the object being pulled and kink or fray the
wire rope. (Use a Self Recovery Kit).
√ Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum and cable when
winching.
x DO NOT use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked or damaged.
x DO NOT allow anyone to stand near the cable, or in line with the cable or
behind the winch while it is under power. If the cable should slip or break it
can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing great danger for anyone in
the area. Always stand well to the side while winding and use a Wire Rope
Dampener.
x DO NOT leave the switch plugged in when the winch is not in use.
√ CHECK THE WINCH THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING!
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. It is strongly recommended that the winch is used regularly (once a month). Simply power out 15mtr of cable, free spool 5mtr th en power back in. This will keep all the components in good working condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed.
