2. Insert the heads of the Plat Studs into the keyhole slots on the back of the winch.
3. Attach the Winch/Adapter Plate assembly to your trailer hitch by inserting the trailer hitch ball through the
shaped hole in the Adapter Plate (Figure 9).
Using Your Winch
1. Put your vehicle in Neutral. (Never winch with your vehicle in Gear or in Park since this could damage your
vehicle's transmission). Engage your emergency brake. Block the wheels from rolling, using suitable
chocks.
2. To pull out the cable, turn the CLUTCH KNOB counterclockwise to loosen it, and then pull out the cable you
need. Always leave at least five turns of the cable on the spool to prevent pulling the cable out of the winch.
3. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap or chain. Never wrap the cable around the object and
hook on the cable itself. This can cause damage to the object being pulled and kink or fray the cable.
4. Re-tighten the clutch knob clockwise.
5. Stand clear, and when it is safe to do so, use the power switch in the remote control to retract the cable and
winch the item as desired.
Wiring your Electric Winch
Your winch may be used with temporary wiring or permanent wiring.
1. Lift the rubber polymer door and plug the POWER CABLE into the PLUG on the right side of the winch body
(Figure 10). Route the Electric Cord from the winch to your battery, being careful to avoid tangling it in
moving equipment, or causing a tripping hazard.
