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 1,500lbs. 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 1,500lbs. 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 five turns of cable on the winch drum.

The usable cable length is approximately 34 feet.

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 DC winch operates from a low voltage DC

power source (e.g., an ATV, car, or truck battery). Never connect your

winch to a 120 Volt AC power source.

WARNING: To prevent entanglement and/or lacerations of hands,

keep hands off of winch cable and winch hook when spooling or

operating. Always use handsaver strap when spooling or operating.

Never remove handsaver strap from hook.

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

get caught in the motor’s moving parts prior to operating

you winch.

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: 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: 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.

WARNING: Mounting Bolts: DO NOT USE any bolts weaker

than ISO grade 5.

WARNING: Use an approved nylon recovery strap to “snatch” or pull

out a stuck vehicle. Nylon webbing will absorb the shock of heavy

weight pulls.

WARNING: Damaged wire cable must be replaced to safely operate

any winch.

WARNING: Never engage or disengage the clutch if winch is under

load, wire cable is under tension or wire cable drum is moving.

WARNING: Prolonged winching without allowing the winch motor to

cool will damage the motor. Prolonged winching may drain the

battery faster than it is charging even if the engine is idling.

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!!

General Safety Information

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

Permanent

Mounting

1. Select a mounting

site on the front or

rear of your ATV

vehicle, truck bed,

or other suitable

locations. Never

install your winch

in a location

that obscures

its warning and

instruction labels.

Your winch can

generate 1,500lbs of pulling force so be sure that the mounting

site selected can withstand a load well in excess of the 1,500lb

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. Position winch in desired location, and mark for drilling the

locations of the 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 marked locations on your vehicle.

3. Attach the winch to the

desired location using

bolts, nuts, washers,

and lock washers.

Do not use any bolts

weaker than ISO grade 5.

4. 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.

Temporary Mounting on Ball Mount/Hitch Ball

1. Bolt winch to mounting

plate using bolts and

nuts provided.

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

Plan a route for the electrical wiring from the point of the vehicle where the winch is mounted. Route the electrical wiring from the winch

to the battery being careful to avoid contacting hot or sharp surfaces. Make sure that the electrical wiring is secured along its route with

appropriate fasteners in a location clear of moving parts, road or trail debris or any

possibility of being damaged by operation or maintenance of the vehicle.

Your winch is designed to be wired permanently.

Mounting Instructions

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:

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

turns the winch drum and spools the winch cable in or out of the winch.

❷Winch 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.

❸Winch 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.

❹Winch 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.

❻Winch Handsaver Strap: The winch handsaver strap is used to guide the winch cable. Always use when guiding winch cable in and out.

❼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, stop, and change the direction of the rotation of the winch drum.

Operating Instructions

❺Clutch Knob

❼Remote Control

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. 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.

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. Prolonged winching without allowing to cool will damage the

motor. Prolonged winch operation may drain the battery faster

than it is charging even if engine is idling.

4. To pull out the winch

cable, pull and rotate

clutch knob 90˚ so

it is positioned out.

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 the handsaver

strap. Always leave at least five turns of the winch cable on the

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

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 five 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 winch 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 winch cable

under load.

7. When ready to begin winching, be careful not to let the

remote control cable dangle in front of the winch or create a

tripping hazard.

WARNING: Always keep remote control

cord clear of the winch drum, winch cable,

and winch hook.

WARNING: Never put your finger through

the hook. If your finger should become

trapped in the hook, you could lose your

finger. Always use the handsaver strap

when guiding the winch cable in or out.

Entanglement/Cutting Hazard

• Keep hands off of winch cable and winch hook

when spooling or operating.

• Always use handsaver strap when spooling or operating.

• Never remove handsaver strap from winch hook.

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Using Your Winch

8. Re-engage the clutch knob by rotating it 90˚ so the pin snaps

back into slot 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.

WARNING: Never engage or disengage the clutch if the winch

is under load, winch cable is under tension or winch drum

is moving.

9. Using the winch remote control and the handsaver strap, slowly

wind the winch cable until there is no slack in the cable. Make

sure all winching connections are secure and properly seated.

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 off and light tension on the

winch cable, 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 too hot to the touch, stop and let it cool

for a few minutes.

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

secured with tie down straps or chains, use the remote control

to release the tension on the winch cable with the remote

control. Disconnect the remote control from the winch and

disconnect the winch cable and hook from the pulling point,

tow strap or chain connected to the object which was winched.

16. To respool the winch cable correctly, use the remote control to

power in and respool the winch cable. It is necessary to keep a

slight load on the cable. This is accomplished by holding (while

wearing gloves) the winch hook with the handsaver strap 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.

Troubleshooting

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 five turns 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.
