General Safety Information

WARNING: FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS

OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING YOUR ELECTRIC WINCH COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE

TO YOUR WINCH AND SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY!!

WARNING: Never operate your winch when under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication.

WARNING: Never use your winch to lift or move human beings. Do

not use for scaffolding, elevators, or any other application in which

human beings could be positioned on or under the load at any time.

WARNING: Never use your winch in any vertical lifting or lowering

application. Your winch should not be used as an overhead hoist, or

to suspend a load.

WARNING: Your winch is a power tool that is capable of creating

high forces that can pose significant safety hazards. Never allow

children or anyone who is not familiar with this Owner’s Manual to

operate your winch.

WARNING: Your winch must be securely attached to a structural

member or frame of a vehicle that is capable of sustaining loads in

excess of the winch capacity. When attaching the winch to a vehicle,

make sure the mounting area is rigidly supported by the vehicle

frame.

WARNING: Never modify or alter any part of your winch.

Modifications and alterations may weaken the structural integrity of

your winch and lead to failure of your winch. Modification or

alteration of your winch may also void your warranty, cause winch

damage, or serious personal injury.

WARNING: Never install your winch with substituted hardware or

components that are different from those supplied with your winch.

Substitutions of inferior equipment and/or hardware may void your

warranty, or cause winch damage or serious personal injury.

WARNING: Never exceed the maximum rated winch pulling capacity

of 2000 lbs. If overloaded, your winch has enough power to

potentially snap loose or break the winch cable, creating serious

safety hazards. Avoid shock loads created by turning your winch on

and off intermittently to take up cable slack. Shock loads can

momentarily far exceed the winch and cable ratings.

WARNING: Your winch is equipped with a high-quality cable

capable of handling a load of 2,000lbs. Do not use vehicle pulling

power to increase the pulling capacity of your winch. When a cable

snaps loose or breaks under tension, the cable tends to whip toward

the winch area. It is recommended that a blanket or rug be placed

over the cable during winching operations to minimize whipping

action in case the cable slips or breaks.

WARNING: Never apply a load to your winch with the cable fully

extended. Keep at least three turns of cable on the winch drum.

The usable cable length is approximately 29ft.

WARNING: Always keep the winching area free of all bystanders and

clutter. Never stand between the load being pulled and your winch.

WARNING: Your 12 volt D.C. winch operates from a low voltage

D.C. power source (e.g., a car or truck battery). Never connect your

winch to a 120 volt A.C. power source.

WARNING: Remove all jewelry, loose clothing, or anything that may

get caught in the motor’s moving parts prior to connecting wiring to

the battery.

WARNING: Never use your winch to support a load when winching

operation has been completed. Always secure the load properly,

using tie down straps or chains.

WARNING: The hand crank provided with your winch is for

emergency use only (i.e., in case of a power failure). Never use the

hand crank to assist your winch when it is running. Always remove

the hand crank when your winch is not in use. Do not operate your

winch or allow the winch drum to free wheel with the hand crank

installed.

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves when

operating your winch. Keep hands and fingers clear of the winch

drum and cable area during operation. Do not attempt to guide the

cable by hand as it spools in or out or rewinds on the winch drum.

WARNING: When releasing a load with the clutch, maintain control

of the speed. Excess speed could result in winch damage and serious

personal injury.

WARNING: Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the

vehicle manufacturer.

WARNING: Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the

manufacturer shall be used.

Mounting Instructions

Your winch is designed to be mounted permanently or temporarily. No Hardware Included.

Permanent Mounting

1. Select a mounting

site on the bumper

of your vehicle, truck

bed, boat trailer

winch stand or other

suitable location.

Never install your

winch in a location

that obscures

its warning and

instruction labels.

Your winch can generate 2,000lbs of pulling force so be sure that

the mounting site selected can withstand a load well in excess of the

2,000lbs pulling force.

WARNING: You may need to use steel reinforcement plates, or weld

on additional bracing on your vehicle, depending on the mounting

site you select. Do not mount the winch where there would be the

possibility of it being submerged in water. The winch is weather

resistant but not water proof.

2. Align the winch with the adapter mounting plate attached in desired

location, and mark for drilling the locations of the four holes on the

mounting plate of the winch.

WARNING: Prior to drilling, always verify that the marked locations

for drilling are clear of fuel lines, fuel tank, brake lines, electrical

wires, etc. Drill the four marked locations on your vehicle.

3. Attach the winch to the desired location using four bolts, nuts,

washers, and lock washers. Be sure that the winch is positioned

so that the cable does not rub the front opening of the winch or across

sharp edges, corners, or moving parts of the vehicle or

any other object.

4. If you are installing your winch on a boat trailer, the winch should be

attached on the winch stand at the same height or slightly higher than

the trailer-bow stop and the bow of the boat when the boat is fully

loaded on the trailer. Be sure that the trailer-bow stop is located far

enough back so that the cable hook is not drawn into the winch drum

when the boat is fully loaded on the trailer.

Temporary Mounting on Ball Mount/Hitch Ball

1. Index the heads of the plate

stud bolts into the keyhole

slots on the back of the

winch.

2. Attach the winch adapter

mounting plate assembly

to your trailer hitch, by

inserting the trailer hitch

ball through the shaped

hole in the adapter

mounting plate.

Never install your winch in a way that obscures its warning and

instruction labels.

Wiring Instructions

Your winch is designed to be wired temporarily.

Temporary Wiring

1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the vehicle where the winch is mounted. Route the wiring from the winch to the battery, being careful

to avoid contacting hot or sharp surfaces that may damage the wiring, tangle it in moving

equipment, or cause a tripping hazard.

2. Attach the black clamp to the frame of your vehicle, making sure to establish a clean and

tight ground connection. Attach the red clamp to the positive (+/red) terminal of your battery.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection when working around a battery. Do not lean over

the battery while making connections. Remove all jewelry, loose clothing, or anything that

may get caught in the motor’s moving parts prior to connecting wiring to the battery.

WARNING: Be sure you are using a 12 volt automotive battery or equivalent,

in good condition.

3. Open the plastic door, and plug the cord socket of the wiring into the wiring plug on the right side of the winch body.

WARNING: Always disconnect the remote control when your winch is not in use. Store the remote control unit and cord in your vehicle’s truck

or a similar dry and safe place when it is not in use. This prevents tampering, misuse, or damage to the remote control unit and cord.

The following operating instructions are intended to provide you with a basic understanding of your electric winch and to teach you the basics of

proper winching techniques. Users must understand that every winching situation has the potential for personal injury. In order to minimize the

risk to you and others in the area, it is important for you to read and understand this Owner’s Manual, familiarize yourself with the operation of your

winch prior to having to use it, carefully analyze each particular situation you are putting the winch to use, and constantly be aware of the

importance of safety.

Getting to Know the Components of Your Winch

Your winch contains the following component parts:

❶ Motor: The winch motor is powered by your vehicle’s 12 volt D.C. battery. The winch motor provides power to the gear mechanism which

turns the winch drum and spools the winch cable in towards the winch only.

❷ Winch Drum: The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch cable is stored when the drum spools the cable in or out of the winch.

The winch drum is driven by the winch motor and gear drive train.

❸ Winch Cable: The winch cable is the metal cable that is wrapped around the winch drum. The winch hook is permanently attached to the

end of the winch cable.

❹ Winch Hook: The winch hook is used to attach the winch cable to the load to be pulled. The hook should be attached onto the load using a

pulling point, tow strap, or chain. Never wrap the winch cable around the object to be pulled and hook the winch hook onto the winch cable itself.

❺Clutch Knob: The clutch knob allows you to manually disengage the winch drum from the motor and gear mechanism, enabling the winch drum

to rotate freely (known as “free spooling”). Engaging the clutch, “locks” the winch drum back onto the motor and gear mechanism. You must

loosen the clutch knob to spool the cable out of the winch housing.

❻ Remote Control: The remote control enables you to operate the winch drum while standing clear of the winching process.

Specifically,it allows you to start and stop towards the winch only.

Using Your Winch

1. Put on heavy gloves and safety glasses. Take your time, analyze your

situation, and plan your pull carefully.

WARNING: Never operate or install a winch without reading and

understanding the operation manual. Practice using your winch

before having to use it in a real situation. A real situation is no time to

be learning how to use your winch.

WARNING: Always inspect winch installation and winch cable

condition before performing a winching operation. Never operate

your winch if it is loose or damaged or when the winch cable is

frayed, kinked, or damaged.

WARNING: Always remove jewelry, loose clothing, or anything else

that may get entangled in moving parts of winch.

WARNING: Always wear heavy gloves and keep hands clear of

winch cable, winch hook, and winch drum during winching operation.

Be sure that all unnecessary bystanders and clutter do not remain in

the area during winching operations.

3. Put your vehicle in neutral (never leave your vehicle in park or in gear

as this may damage it’s transmission) apply your vehicle’s emergency

brake and block the wheels from rolling using wheel chocks. Leave

your vehicle’s engine running on to ensure that it’s battery is not

run down.

4. To pull out the winch cable, turn the clutch knob counterclockwise.

This will disengage

the winch clutch and

allow the winch drum

to free wheel. Pull out

the amount of cable

as needed from the

freespooling winch

drum using a winch

hook strap or hand

saver bar. Always leave

at least three turns of

the cable on

the winch drum to prevent the cable from pulling out of the winch.

WARNING: Always make sure that the clutch is fully disengaged.

WARNING: Winch clutch should be disengaged when the winch

motor is off. Never leave winch clutch engaged when winch is not in

use. Never engage or disengage the winch clutch if the winch motor

is on, winch is under load, or winch cable is under tension.

WARNING: Never have remote control plugged into winch while

free spooling, attaching winch cable to object to be winched, or

sitting idle.

5. Pull the winch cable to the object to be pulled or moved. Be sure to

keep tension on the winch cable to prevent it from becoming twisted

or over-wrapped when slackened and potentially damaged.

WARNING: Always maintain at least three turns of the winch cable

on the winch drum to prevent the cable from pulling off the drum

under load.

WARNING: Never attach cable, rope, chains or other objects to the

winch hook to increase the length of a pull.

6. Hook the winch hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow

strap, or chain. It is best to hook the winch hook on the object to be

winched as low as possible. It is also important to align the vehicle

and winch in a straight line with the object to be pulled. This allows

the winch cable to wind tightly and evenly onto the winch drum when

it is pulled into the winch. Neat, tight spooling avoids cable binding.

Never pull a load at extreme angles.

WARNING: Never wrap the cable around the object and hook the

winch hook onto the cable itself. This can cause damage to the object

being pulled and kink, fray, or otherwise damage the winch cable.

WARNING: If the winch cable becomes bound on the winch drum

(i.e., pinched between successive turns of the cable), alternatively

power the winch cable in and out a few inches. Never use your hands

to attempt to free a bound cable under load.

7. When ready to begin winching, connect the remote control unit

and cable into the left side of the winch body with the clutch knob

disengaged. Be careful not to let the remote control cable dangle in

front of the winch or create a trip hazard.

WARNING: Always keep remote control cord clear of

the winch drum, winch cable, and winch hook.

Using Your Winch (continued)

8. Re-tighten the clutch knob by rotating it clockwise when winch is not

operating. This will engage the winch and lock the winch drum.

WARNING: Always make sure clutch is fully engaged.

WARNING: Never engage clutch with motor running. Winch clutch

should always be fully engaged when winch is in use.

9. Using the winch remote control, slowly wind the winch cable until

there is no slack in the cable. Stop, unplug the remote control, and

make sure all winching connections are secure and properly seated.

WARNING: Always remove the remote control before working

around the winch cable or winch drum so that your winch cannot be

turned on accidentally.

10. Always operate your winch with an unobstructed view of the

winching operation. Prior to continuing the pull make sure that

everyone is well clear of the area and that you are standing in an

area with unobstructed access to, and clear view of the winch, its

labels, and its controls. Once the winch cable is under tension, stand

to the side of the cable and well clear of it. Never step over or under

the winch cable when it is under tension.

WARNING: It is recommended that a heavy blanket, rug, or chain

be placed over the midpoint of the winch cable prior to continuing

the winching procedure. This will allow energy to be absorbed if the

winch cable should snap loose or break.

11. Make sure that bystanders in the vicinity are at a safe distance and

aware that you are going to start the pull.

12. With your vehicle’s engine on and light tension on the winch

cable, reconnect the remote control and begin winching slowly and

steadily. Be sure that the winch cable is winding evenly and tightly

around the winch drum.

WARNING: Avoid shock loading the winch cable by using the

remote control switch intermittently to take up cable slack. Shock

loads can momentarily far exceed the winch and winch cable load

ratings. For extended winching, stop at reasonable intervals to allow

the winch motor to cool.

13. The electric motor attached to your winch is designed for intermittent

use only and should not be used in constant duty commercial or

industrial applications. Extended use of your winch without cooling

off periods can cause overheating damage to the motor. A maximum

run time of six to eight minutes is recommended.

14. If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to the touch, stop and

let it cool for a few minutes. If your winch stalls due to overload,

disconnect it from the power supply.

15. Once the pull is complete and the object winched has been secured

with tie down straps or chains, turn winch power off and disconnect

the remote control from the winch. The winch cable tension can then

be released by turning the clutch knob counterclockwise which will

allow the cable to be removed from the object being pulled. Once

the winch cable is free, re-tighten the clutch knob by rotating it

clockwise this will engage the winch and lock the winch drum.

16. When you use your winch to trailer a boat, secure the boat onto the

trailer with appropriate bow and transom tie down straps or chains.

With the boat fully secured on the trailer, relieve the tension on the

winch cable and respool to avoid damage to the winch and/or trailer

due to high shock loads encountered when traveling.

WARNING: A winch hook strap or hand saver bar should be used

to hold the winch hook when spooling the winch cable in or out. A

simple string or strap a few feet long can be tied onto the winch hook

for this purpose.

17. To respool the winch cable correctly, reconnect the remote control

and respool the winch cable. It is necessary to keep a slight load

on the cable. This can be accomplished by holding (while wearing

gloves) the winch hook with a winch hook strap or hand saver bar

and applying a slight load on it while the cable is respooled. This

ensures that the cable is wound tightly and evenly around the winch

drum, and prevents the winch cable from slipping or kinking.

18. Disconnect the remote control and cable from the winch when the

respooling is complete.

WARNING: Always disconnect the remote control when your winch

is not in use. Store the remote control unit in your vehicle’s truck or a

similar dry, clean and safe place when it is not in use. This prevents

tampering, misuse, or damage to the remote control unit and cord.

Maintenance Instructions

1. Always inspect winch installation and winch cable condition before

performing a winching operation. Never operate your winch if it

is loose or damaged or when the winch cable is frayed, kinked,

or damaged. Inspect the winch installation, mounting bolts and

electrical connections on a regular basis. Remove any dirt or

corrosion that may have accumulated on the electrical connections,

and ensure you have a clean, tight and secure electrical contact.

Inspect the electrical wiring along its route and make sure that it is

not damaged and is still secured with appropriate fasteners. Also

make sure the electrical wiring is located in a location clear of hot

or moving parts, road debris or any possibility of being damaged by

operation or maintenance of the vehicle.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection, heavy gloves and remove

all jewelry, loose clothing, or anything that may get caught in the

vehicle’s moving parts prior to inspecting your winch.

2. Inspect the winch cable before and after each winching operation

is performed. Make sure it is in good condition and is attached

properly. If the cable has been kinked, frayed, or is abnormally stiff,

the winch should not be used. The winch cable should be lubricated

periodically with a light penetrating oil to improve the life of the

cable. Be sure to also inspect the winch hook for signs of wear or

damage. If the winch hook is damaged do not use the winch.

3. Always keep your winch, winch cable, and remote control and its

cord free from dirt or other contamination. Use a clean towel to

remove any dirt or debris. It may be necessary to unwind the winch

cable (leaving a minimum of three wraps on the winch drum), wipe,

clean, oil with light penetrating oil, and properly rewind the winch

cable.

4. Inspect your vehicle’s battery because operating a winch for long

periods of time places an extra burden on the battery. Be sure to

check and maintain your battery and battery cables according to

manufacturer guidelines. Inspect all electrical connections on the

winch to ensure they are clean and tight fitting.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection when working around a

battery. Do not lean over the battery while inspecting connections.

Remove all jewelry, loose clothing, or anything that may get caught

in the motor’s moving parts prior to inspecting the battery.

5. Inspect the remote control and its cord for wear and/or damage. If

the remote control is damaged do not use the winch.

6. If damage or wear to any component of your winch is observed, do

not use the winch and never attempt to repair it yourself. Always

have a qualified technician perform all repairs on your winch.

1. The hand crank provided with your winch is for emergency use only

(i.e., in the event of a power failure). Always, remove the electrical

power from the winch before using the hand crank.

WARNING: Do not use the hand crank to assist an electronically

operating winch. This may result in winch damage and severe

personal injury.

2. Turn the clutch knob clockwise until hand tight. Do not force it or

over tighten.

3. Place the end of the hand crank over the flattened end of the threaded

shaft located in the center of the clutch knob.

4. Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction to retract the winch cable.

Continue to turn until the cable has been completely retracted.

WARNING: If the clutch knob is placed in the free wheel position for

hand cranking (by turning the clutch knob counterclockwise), be sure

to maintain a firm grip on the hand crank at all times. Always remove

the hand crank form the winch after use and store it in a clean and dry

place where it will not be misplaced.

5. Always remove the hand crank from the winch after use.

WARNING: Store the hand crank in your vehicle’s trunk or a

similar clean, dry and safe place when it is not in use. This prevents

tampering, misuse, or damage to the hand crank.
