surface must be equal to or greater than the footprint of the winch frame. When attaching the trailer winch, use 3/8 dia. grade-5 hardware and torque to

Required
Attaching a Rope:
Attaching a rope to the winch drum requires no bolts, nuts, or clamp. The rope
must weave through the drum outer wall and be secured beneath itself as shown
in the illustration.
Attaching a Steel Cable to a Drum:
Pass the cable from the inside of the drum through one of the dimpled holes in
the outer plate. Loop the cable around the drum bearing, under itself, and leave
of cable extending past the clamp location. Tighten the clamp nuts to
approximately 2 ft-lbs.
Failure to follow these warnings and instructions may result

damaged. Never use worn, kinked, or frayed
cable. If the cable or attachment breaks, the cable
will whip violently, causing property damage,
serious bodily injury, and/or death.
Never stand along side the winch cable or rope or
guide the cable or rope with your hands.
Never operate with slippery, wet, or oily hands
and always maintain a firm grip on the winch
handle. Do not attempt to stop a winch by
grabbing the handle while in motion.
Always maintain a minimum of three (3)
complete wraps of cable or rope on the drum.
Only winches that have a minimum hub diameter
of 1 3/4 can accommodate steel cable.
Assure there is adequate safety factor, of at least 3
times the maximum load for all components used.
A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be
heard when lifting the load. If a loud clicking
sound is not heard, do not use and replace ratchet
components immediately.
Never release the crank handle unless the ratchet
pawl is fully engaged and the load is supported.

(Cable wraps over top of drum)
Work Winches
In no case will a one-way ratchet pawl system
hold the load when it is being let out.
Never leave a weight supported from the winch
while the winch is unattended, as another person
may attempt to operate the winch, thereby
creating an unsafe condition.
This winch is designed for manual operation only
and the load rating is based on an intermittent
duty cycle.
Excessive force in turning winch handle may
indicate overload. Fulton brand winches require
25-45 lbs of handle force to pull their rated load.
If you cannot crank the winch with one hand you
are potentially overloading the winch.
Winches are not designed to secure boats to
trailers while towing. Boat tie downs should be
used for this purpose.
Periodically check mounting hardware for proper
torque and tighten if necessary.
Always replace bent, broken, or worn parts before
using this product.
Warning: Failure to follow all installation instructions could result in
winch failure.
