PRECAUTIONS 1. Keeps hands and body away from Fairlead (cable intake slot) when operating. 2. Secure vehicle in position before using winch. 3. Do not exceed winch load weight capacity (see Winch Specifications). 4. Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that can hold the winch load. 5.
Safety Tips • NEVER DISENGAGE CLUTCH LEVER WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH. Mile Marker electric winches utilize an automatic load holding brake, therefore no adjustment to clutch is needed to maintain load.

The cable should be replaced immediately if any sign of burrs or broken strands are evident. A frayed cable with broken strands should be replaced immediately. Always replace the cable with a Mile Marker recommended replacement part. Any substitution must be IDENTICAL in strength, quality, lay and stranding.
Unpack your new Mile Marker winch and ensure that all the parts are included by referring to parts list and exploded view drawings provided in this manual. NOTE: If you find any missing or broken parts, please call Mile Marker as soon as possible at the number present on the front page of this manual.
SOLENOID VALVE ASSEMBLY The Mile Marker solenoid valve should be mounted away from any areas where heat may be considered too extreme such as an exhaust man- ifold or turbo. Be sure all plumbing and wiring reaches from the area selected without being stressed. The Mile Marker solenoid valve may be mounted by using the bracket and alien screws supplied.
Electrical Connections The Mile Marker valving system is designed to default to the power steering gearbox so power steering is always available even when the winch is in use. The power source to the solenoid is not energized until the four pole Quick Connector Plug is plugged in. Each solenoid has two black wires, either of which can be used as a ground or for electric power.
This will aid in bleeding out any air that may have gotten into the system. NOTE: If the hand control unit is working backwards, simply reverse the black and white wire connectors on the valve assembly. Figure 3 H SERIES HYDROBOOST Page 9...
WINCH OPERATION General The vehicle’s steering pump is used to power the winch. The engine must be running while operating the winch, as the engine turns the power steering pump which pumps fluid to rotate the winch. The winch will have full pulling capabilities at an engine idle. The winch is operated by an electric activated switching valve.
All electronics have a 1 year warranty. The Mile Marker hydraulic motor has a five (5) year warranty. The owner will be responsible for removing the winch and returning it to the Mile Marker freight prepaid. Mile Marker will repair or replace all or any winch parts, which after inspection it determines to be defective. See each individual product package for more detailed warranty information.
