Suggestion:
The best way to get acquainted with how the winch operates is to carry out a few test runs before
you actually need to use it.
Pay attention to the noise the winch makes during operation. It is important to recognize the
difference in sound between a light, steady pull, a heavy pull and sounds caused by load jerking or
shifting.
Operation:
1. Put your vehicle in neutral. Put the hand brake on. Block the wheels to prevent rolling.
2. To pull out the cable, turn the clutch knob clockwise [
the cable to required length. Always leave at least five turns of cable around the spool to prevent
the cable from being pulled out of the winch.
3. Before hooking the load, make sure the distance between the load and steel rope is minimal.
Hook up the load using a pulling point, tow strap or chain.
Do not wrap the cable around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the cable. This could
damage the load and twist or fray the cable.
4. Re-tighten the clutch knob: turn clutch knob counter-clockwise [
5. The operator/user shall pull the load with the minimum speed available at the winch. The rope
shall be tightened and shall not be in the slack-condition when the load is being pulled.
Stand at a safe distance and press the power switch on the remote control to retract the cable, and
winch the item as required.
WARNING:
1. Do not use the winch with the vehicle in gear or in "P" (park brake) position on as this could
damage the vehicle transmission. Use the hand brake and chock vehicle.
2. Do not wrap the cable around the load and do not hook the load directly onto the cable. This
could damage the load and twist or fray the cable
3. Keep hands, clothing, hair, and jewelry clear of the drum area and cable when using the winch
4. Do not use the winch if the cable is frayed, twisted or damaged.
5. Do not allow anyone to stand near the cable or in the cable pulling line, behind the winch while
it is on. If the cable should slip of break, it could whiplash
6. Do not leave the switch on when the winch is not in use. Always replace the protective cover.
PULLING CAPACITY
1. The winch has a capacity of 907 kg. Applying this measurement to practical applications, the
winch can be used to pull the following:
(R) Rolling load
(M) Marine load
(T) Pulling load (Traction)
2. The pulling capacity reduces as the incline increases.
For example, the rolling capacity is reduced from 2721 kg on flat ground to 454 kg on a 45° incline.
Please refer to the following chart for estimated pulling capacity (rolling weight) on various
inclines.
- a wheeled moving vehicle of up to 2721 kg
- a water borne craft of up to 2268 kg.
- a load of up to 907 kg from a dead stop on level ground.
