3 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS You will need this manual for the safety warnings and cautions, assembly instructions, operating procedures, maintenance procedures, trouble shooting, parts list, and diagram. Keep your invoice with this manual. Write the invoice number on the inside of the front cover. Keep both this manual and your invoice in a safe, dry place for future reference. WARNING: When using powered equipment, basic safety precautions should always followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and hazards. WORK AREA Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents. Do not use your winch where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Electrically powered tools can create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a winch. Distractions can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area. Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator s view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage. Be alert of your surroundings. Using winches in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a winch. Do not use a winch while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a winch may result in serious personal injury. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling a wire rope. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting winch into power supply. In the event of a power failure, while a winch is being used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored. Always stand clear of wire rope and load during operation, and keep bystanders away as well. Do not try to guide the cable Always be certain the anchor you select will withstand the load, and the strap or chain will not slip. Never use as an overhead hoist, or to suspend a load.

4 Never use to lift or move persons. Never exceed the winch or wire rope rated capacity. Never apply load to hook tip or latch. Apply load to only the center of the hook. Never use a hook whose throat opening has increased, or whose tip is bent or twisted. Never touch wire rope or hook while in tension or under load. Never hook wire rope back onto itself. Do not apply a load to the winch when the cable is fully extended. The cable fastener is not capable of holding the rated capacity. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the winch. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the winch may result in personal injury. Assembly Permanent Mounting of the Winch 1. Select a mounting site on the bed of a truck, trailer, or suitable location. CAUTION: This winch can generate 15,000-lb. rolling, 12,500-lb. marine, and 5000-lb. pulling force. Make sure the location selected can withstand this much force. It may be required to use steel reinforcement plates (not included), and/or to weld on additional bracing (not included), depending on the desired mounting location. 2. Align the base of the winch with the desired location, and mark for drilling the three mounting holes required to attach the winch to the desired location. Then, drill these three mounting holes on the vehicle/trailer. (see figure A) 3. Use three hardened steel bolts at least 3/8in. in diameter, three lock washers and three nuts (all not included), to securely attach the winch to the desired location. (see figure A) Page 4 of 13

5 Temporary Mounting of the Winch 1. Insert three screws (part #74) into the three mounting holes in the adapter plate, and secure the screws to the adapter plate, using three washers (part #76), and three nuts (part#77). (See Figure B) 2. Insert the heads of the three screws (part#75) to the vehicle s hitch ball (not included) by inserting the hitch ball through the teardrop-shaped hole in the adapter plate. (See Figure B). 3. Attach the winch with its plate (part#75) to the vehicle s hitch ball (not included) by inserting the hitch ball through the teardrop-shaped hole in the adapter plate. To Connect the Electrical Wiring NOTE: Depending on your level of knowledge regarding electrical wiring, you may wish to have this procedure performed by a qualified technician. CAUTION: Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the vehicle engine is turned off. Make sure the vehicle transmission is in its PARK position and emergency brake is on. Also make sure the engine, transmission, and exhaust system is cool to the touch. 1. To connect the wiring, plan a route for the wire harness assembly (part#64) from the point of where the winch will be mounted on the vehicle to the vehicle s 12V DC Battery. The route should be secure, out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or any possibility of being damaged by operation or maintenance of the vehicle. For example, the power cord may be routed under the vehicle, attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners (not included). Do not attach the power cord to the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other components which may create damage to the power cord through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard. If a hole is drilled through the bumper or any other part of the vehicle, make sure to install a rubber grommet (not included) in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that Page 5 of 13

6 point. 2. Route the wire harness assembly (part #64), following the precautions discussed in step #3. Once the wire harness assembly (part #64) is routed to the battery, attach the red, color coded, ring electrical connector to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery ( See Figure C). 3. Attach the Black, color coded, ring electrical connector to the negative (-) terminal of the battery (See Figure C) WARNING: Never continue using the winch until the vehicle s 12V DC Battery is run down. You may wish to keep the engine running while using the winch to continually recharge the battery. However, make sure the vehicle is in neutral, the vehicle s emergency brake has been set and, whenever possible, the vehicle s wheels have been chocked. Do not use a dirty, corroded, or leaking. Battery to avoid injury from possible acid burns. Always wear ANSI-approved safety eye goggles when working with or around a battery. WARNING: Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, vapor emitted from the engine s exhaust and may kill or injure when inhaled. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. To Connect The Remote Control: 1. Lift the Rubber Seal on the left side of the Winch, and insert the Cord Plug (part #8) into the Remote Control Socket. Then, set the Remote Control Housing in a safe place until ready for use. (See Figure D) Page 6 of 13

7 To Attach The Hand Crank: 1. Insert the mounting hole of the Hand Crank (part #1) onto the Shaft (part #21). Then secure the Hand Crank to the Shaft, using one Nut (part #24). (See Figure E) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To Use The Winch Manually: WARNING: Do not use the Hand Crank (part #1) to assist a powered Winch. This will damage the Winch and may cause personal injury. (See Figure E) 1. Place the vehicle s transmission in Park. Turn off the engine. Set the emergency brake, and block the wheels from rolling, using suitable chocks (not included). 2. To operate the Hand Crank (part #1), turn the Clutch Knob clockwise until hand tight. Do not force it or over tighten. (See Figure E) 3. Rotate the Hand Crank (part #1) clockwise to tighten the Steel Cable. Continue turning the Hand Crank clockwise until the Steel Cable has been completely retracted. (See Figure E) To Estimate Pulling Capacity: Page 7 of 13

8 1. The Winch has a pulling capacity of 5000 pounds. Applying this measurement to practical applications, you can use the Winch to move the following: a. Move a load from a dead stop of up to 5000 pounds on ground. b. Move a water bourn marine craft of up to 12,500 pounds. c. Maintain a movement of a wheeled vehicle of up to 15,000 pounds. 2. NOTE: The Winch s pulling capacity is reduced as inclines increase. For example, rolling capacity is reduced from 15,000 pounds on flat ground to approximately 4000 pounds on a 45 Degree incline. Refer to the Chart for estimated pulling capacity (rolling weight) on various inclines. (See Figure F) To Use The Electrically Powered Winch: 1. Place the vehicle s transmission in Park. Set the emergency brake, and block the wheels from rolling, using suitable chocks (not included). 2. NOTE: You may wish to keep the vehicle s engine running while using the Winch to continually recharge the battery. However, use extreme caution when working around a vehicle with its engine running. 3. Pull out the Steel Cable to the desired length, using the Power Out feature located on the Switch (part #10). Always leave at least four turns of Steel Cable on the Spool of the Cable Assembly to prevent pulling the Steel Cable completely our of the Winch. (See Figure G) 4. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap, or chain (all not included). Never wrap the Steel Cable around the object or hook onto the object itself. This can cause damage to the object being pulled, and kink or fray the Steel Cable. (See Figure G) Page 8 of 13

9 CAUTION: Never allow anyone to stand near the Steel Cable, or in line with the Steel Cable behind the Winch it is under power. Should the Steel Cable slip or break it can suddenly whip back towards the Winch, causing a hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to side while winching. 5. Stand clear and, when it is safe to do so, use the Power In feature on the Switch (part #10) to retract the Steel Cable and winch the object as desired. (See Figure G) To Use The Pulley Hook: 1. With the Winch Cable Hook (part #57) and the accessory Pulley Block Assembly (part #56) attached to the Steel Cable, the pulley Block Assembly (part #56) allows you to offset the Winch but retain a straight shot. The pulley Block Assembly (part #56) can also be used to nearly double the Winch s capacity by simply attaching the Pulley Block Assembly (part #56) directly to the load and the Winch Cable Hook (part #57) to a sturdy mount near the Winch (such as the rear bumper). (See Figure H) 2. To attach the Pulley Block Assembly (part #56) to the Steel Cable, remove the two Nuts on the Pulley Hook. Then, remove one Side Plate on the Pulley Hook. (See Figure H) 3. Insert the Steel Cable beneath the Pulley. Then, reattach the Side Plate and the two Nuts. (See Figure H) Page 9 of 13

10 INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING WARNING: Always release a load from the Winch, and disconnect the Winch from its 12 Volt DC electrical supply source, before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning. 1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Winch. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked, bent or broken parts, frayed Steel Cable, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
