4 4. 5. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean. Properly maintained tools are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools Do not use until repaired. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Service Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot 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 supplied by the operator. Do not exceed the maximum 3,000 pound line pull capacity of this Winch. Know the weight of the load being pulled. Overloading the Winch could cause personal injury and/or property damage. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Winch. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. Never attempt to use as an overhead winch, or to move people or animals. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines. Never leave the Winch unattended with a load. Remove the load from the Winch before leaving the area. This Winch is designed for intermittent use only. Do not use the Winch in a constant duty application. The duration of the pulling job should be kept as short as possible. If the Winch becomes very hot to the touch, stop the Winch and let it cool down for several minutes. Never pull for more than one minute at or near the rated maximum 3,000 pound line pull capacity. Always examine the Winch for structural cracks, bends, damage, frayed Cable, and any other condition that may affect the safe operation of the tool. Do not use the Winch if it is damaged in any way. Page 4

5 Always keep hands and fingers away from the cable, hook, fairlead, and all other moving parts when installing, operating, applying, or releasing a load. Remain clear of the Cable when pulling a load. Do not stand in line with the Cable, as it can recoil violently if it breaks. Do not cross over or under the Cable when the Winch is under a load. People and animals should be kept at a safe distance when using the Winch. Use extreme caution when applying or releasing a load. Never allow the load to suddenly release. Apply and release the load slowly and carefully. Never winch a vehicle, trailer, boat, or other object with anyone in or on the object being pulled. Use a spotter to assist you in assuring that it is safe to operate the Winch. Make sure the spotter is out of the way of the Cable and object being pulled before activating the Winch. Always leave at least five turns of the Cable on the Drum to prevent pulling the Cable out of the Winch. The Cable must be pulled straight in. Keep the load in line with the Winch. Pulling at an angle (off to the side) will cause excessive stress on the Winch. This Winch is not designed for use in aircraft applications. Never lift objects vertically with the Winch. This Winch is designed for horizontal use only. Mount the Winch securely on a level, stable platform capable of bearing the weight of the Winch and the strong pressure created by the load. If the Winch is vehicle-mounted, do not move the vehicle to assist the Winch in pulling a load. The combination of the Winch and vehicle pulling together can overload the Winch and the Cable. Be aware of dynamic loading. Suddenly starting or jerking against load may briefly create an excess load, causing product failure. WARNING: This product contains or, when used, produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health & Safety Code , et seq.) 20. WARNING! This Winch is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Winch in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the engine of the vehicle product produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death. 2 WARNING!

Caution is necessary when near engine s magneto or recoil starter. Page 5

6 FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby. When fuel or oil spills, it must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials according to local, state, and federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in an oil-waste approved, covered metal container with a ventilated bottom. Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Winch. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the Engine and Fuel Tank since they could ignite fumes. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These objects could ignite fumes or vapors. Do not add fuel or oil while the Engine is running or while the Engine is still hot. Do not operate the Winch with known leaks in the fuel system. Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the Engine. Always check the fuel and Engine oil level prior to starting the Engine. BURN AND CHEMICAL PRECAUTIONS Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes, and hot solid surfaces. Avoid bodily contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the Engine. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water. NOISE PRECAUTIONS Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dba is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI approved ear protection when operating or working around the Plate Compactor when it is running. Page 6

7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS This product comes completely assembled, but will have to be mounted. Note: Depending on your level of knowledge regarding mechanical assembly you may wish to have the mounting performed by a qualified service technician IMPORTANT! Prior to first use, the Winch s Engine MUST be filled with about 1/2 quart of high quality SAE 10W-40 grade engine oil and 1-1/2 quarts of unleaded fuel. This Winch can generate 3,000 pounds of pulling force. Make sure the location selected can withstand this much force. It may be necessary to use steel reinforcement plates (not included) and/or additional bracing (not included), depending on the desired mounting location. Place the Mounting Base of the Winch on the desired mounting location. Use the six 3/8 diameter mounting holes in the Base as a template, mark and drill six 3/8 mounting holes in the mounting location. Use six grade 5 or better mounting bolts, washers, and nuts (this hardware not included) to securely attach the Winch to the desired mounting location. Operation INSTRUCTIONS Turn the Clutch Knob (23A) counterclockwise and push the Clutch Lever (5A) down to achieve free spooling; use the included strap to pull the Hook & Cable (13A) out. Connect the Hook to the item to be winched. The Hook must fit comfortably around the item, with the safety latch fully engaged. If the Hook cannot fit around the item to be winched, then a chain (not included), must be used to secure the item before connecting the Hook. NEVER loop the cable around the item and connect the Hook to it s own Cable; this will damage the Cable and can lead to personal injury and/or property damage. Note: During the first use, the Cable must be spooled onto the drum under a heavy load to properly set the wires in the Cable. Failure to do so could result in the outer wire wraps drawing into the inner wire wraps, thus binding and damaging the Cable. Spool the Cable out, leaving 5 loops around the drum, and proceed. 3. Make sure the Engine s Power Switch (69) is in the OFF position and make sure engine is on a flat and level surface. Page 7

8 Unscrew and remove the Engine s Oil Fill Plug located at the bottom of the Engine Crankcase. Fill the Engine s Crankcase until the oil level is level with the Oil Fill Hole. Screw the Oil Fill Plug back into the Oil Fill Hole. Before first use, remove the Engine s Fuel Cap (84) and fill the Fuel Tank (82) with unleaded gasoline. Replace the Fuel Cap. Thereafter, check the Fuel Tank for the amount of unleaded gasoline before each use. Refill the Fuel Tank only with unleaded gasoline. WARNING! This Winch is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Winch in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the engine of the Winch produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death Turn the Choke (68) to the CHOKE position. Push the Throttle (65) to left up to the maximum output and Engine Power Switch (69) to the ON position. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine firmly and pull it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the Engine s carburetor. Then pull the starter handle gently until tension is felt. At this time pull hard on the starter handle to start the engine. Should it not start, repeat the last cycle again. Avoid flooding the engine. Choke Throttle Power Switch 10.

9 Fuel Cap (84) Muffler Clutch Knob (23A) Clutch Lever (5A) Starter Handle Power Switch (69) Fairlead Figure 1 Oil Fill Plug Hook & Cable (13A) WARNING! Never allow anyone to stand near the Cable, or in line with the Cable behind the Winch while it is under power. Should the Cable slip or break, it can suddenly whip back towards the Winch, causing a hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching Turn the Clutch Knob to the IN position. Stand clear and, when it is safe to do so, grasp the Clutch Lever and move it to the IN position to retract the Cable and winch the object as desired. Turn the drum slightly and hear the click in the drum; the self-locking function of gear train is now ready. Retract the Cable and winch the object as desired by the Throttle. If the object does not move, it may be beyond the weight capacity of the Winch. See the Troubleshooting section for further assistance. When finished winching, please turn the Clutch Knob (23A) clockwise to make sure there is slack in the Cable before removing the Hook from the object being pulled. Then, re-spool the Wire Cable fully onto the Drum (19A) of the Winch. Note: To re-spool cable correctly, it is necessary to keep a slight load on the Cable. This is accomplished by holding the Cable with one hand and the Control Switch in the other, starting as far back as you can, walking up keeping load on the Cable as the Winch is powered in. Always wear heavy-duty work gloves when working with Cable. Do not allow the Cable to slip through your hand and do not approach the Winch too closely. Turn off the Winch and repeat the procedure until all the Cable except for a few feet is in. Disconnect the Control Switch and finish spooling in the Cable by rotating the Drum by hand with the clutch disengaged. 15. Turn the Engine s Throttle to its OFF position. Then close the Engine s Fuel Lever and turn the Power Switch to the OFF position. REV 09g Page 9
