Know your winch:
Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with your winch and each of its components (models will vary in appearance):
- Motor
- Remote Socket
- Control Box
- Clutch Lever
- Winch Rope
- Winch Drum
Motor: The winch motor is powered by the vehicle’s battery. The motor provides power to the gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the winch rope.
Winch Drum: The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The drum is driven by the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed using the remote control.
Winch Rope: The winch rope’s diameter and length are determined by the winch’s load capacity and design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through the fairlead, the winch rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s clevis pin.
Clutch Lever: The clutch allows the operator to manually disengage the spooling drum from the gear train, enabling the drum to rotate freely (known as “freespooling”). Engaging the clutch “locks” the winch drum back onto the gear train.
Control Box: Using electrical power from the vehicle’s battery, the control box’s contactor switches power to the motor, enabling the operator to change the direction of the winch drum rotation.
Remote Socket: The remote socket is where the operator plugs in the wired remote control in order to control the winch.
Please read all instructions and warnings before operation. Improper equipment operation may result in fire, injury, serious damage or even death. The instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible winching situations that could occur. It is highly recommended that the winch be used in a safe and responsible manner.
General safety:
Always keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from the fairlead while spooling onto the drum.
Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling winch rope.
Always use supplied hook strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out.
• After moving an item with the winch, secure the item. Do not rely on the winch to hold it for an extended period.
• Never use winch or winch rope for towing.
Never use winch to lift or move persons.
This winch is designed only for pulling along a horizontal surface not for lifting a load under any circumstances.
Please note that 5-6 layers of synthetic rope should be remained on the drum. Be aware that the wireless remotes are not waterproof.
Never leave the winch remote control plugged in when installing, freespooling, servicing or when the winch is not being used.
Never leave the remote control at a location where it can be activated accidentally.
Never touch winch rope or hook while someone else is at the control switch, when winch rope is under load or during winching operation.
• Examine before use. Components may be affected by exposure to everyday weathering chemicals, salts and rust. Replace any parts needed before using winch.
• Please exercise proper inspection, cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis to prolong the life of your synthetic winch rope.
Winching safety:
• Observe your winch while winching, while standing at a safe distance.
Never attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
Never engage or disengage the clutch control when: your winch has a load on it; the winch line is under tension; or the drum is moving.
• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged. Failure to do so will significantly reduce winching capacity.
• Always free spool the winch line from the drum instead of powering out them.
• During winch pulls, you are required to run your engine and at the same time check the voltage gauge of your vehicle.
• Never operate the winch at an angle of more than 15°, because angles greater than this will deform or damage parts of the winch.
• It is recommended to watch drum for excessive winch line build-up, especially during angled pulls. Because the build-up is likely to cause damage to both the winch and the winch line.
• Always keep the synthetic rope from sharp objects.
Always keep wired remote control lead and power cord clear of the drum, rope, and rigging.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop winching immediately and let it cool down for a few minutes. Do not use for more than 3 minutes under full load without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes.
• Do not power the hook into the fairlead. This could cause damage to the fairlead.
Installation safety:
Mounting location should be strong enough to withstand the maximum pulling capacity of your winch.
• Always complete the winch installation and hook attachment before installing the wiring.
• Never route electrical cables across sharp edges, through or near moving parts, or near parts that get hot.
How to make your winching more efficient:
- Avoid angled pull. The winch line should not exceed a 15-degree angle up and down from horizontal, or a 45-degree angle left or right from straight ahead.
- Use pulley blocks. Pulley blocks allow you the advantage of using a small force to move a heavy resistance or object.
- Remove obstructive terrain under the stuck vehicle. Remove gravel, mud, snow and rocks around the tires, if your vehicle is stuck on rocky terrain, please flatten the terrain before winching.

Troubleshooting:
There can be a few different causes as to why your winch has stopped working properly. At no stage in troubleshooting do we recommend or encourage disassembling your winch as this will void any warranty on the item.
Winch only working in one direction| Defective or stuck solenoid| Repair
or replace solenoid, or tap solenoid to free contacts
---|---|---
Defective switch or wireless remote| Replace switch or wireless remote
Motor does not turn on| Switch not connected properly| Insert switch
firmly to the connector
Remote control battery depleted| Change the battery
Defective switch or wireless remote| Replace switch or wireless remote
Loose battery cable| Tighten nuts on cable connectors
Solenoid Malfunctioning| Repair or replace solenoid, or tap solenoid to free
contacts
Motor runs but drum does not turn| Clutch not engaged| Engage the clutch
Winch brake needs to be adjusted| visit
www.fieryred.com for professional help
Motor runs too slowly or without normal power| Battery depleted|
Recharge battery by running vehicle engine
Insufficient current or voltage| Clean, tighten or replace the connector
Motor runs too hot| Long period of operation| Let winch cool down
periodically
The winch is letting go while under load| Winch brake needs to be
adjusted| visit www.fieryred.com for professional
help
Rope is feeding onto the drum incorrectly| Spool rope out and respool it in a
nice neat pattern
Winch maintenance:
- We recommend at least once a month to operate your winch. Simply power the rope out 15m, free spool 5m and then power back in. This helps keep all components in good working condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed.
- If operating your winch in an environment where it may get wet, we recommend that you re-run your winch at the end of the day.
- The winch can efficiently prevent water ingress into the motor but are not guaranteed to be 100% waterproof. Water is unlikely to damage the motor at the point of use but will over time if the winch is not properly maintained.
