INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality winch. We design and build winches to strict specifications and with proper use and maintenance should bring you years of satisfying service. WARNING - Read, study and follow all instructions before operating this device.
5. Roller Fairlead: When using the winch at an angle the roller fairlead acts to guide the wire rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the wire rope from abrasion on the winch mount or bumper. 6. Mechanic Gear System: The reduction gears convert the winch motor power into extreme pulling forces.

WARNING – The wire rope may break before the motor stalls. For heavy loads at or near rated capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to reduce the load on the wire rope. WARNING – Never step over a cable, or go near a cable under load. WARNING –...
GENERAL TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION The winch and its all-derivative types are rated at rated capacity when spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloading can damage the winch/motor/ or wire rope. For loads over 70% of rated line pull, we recommend the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire rope line.
WINCHING TECHNIQUES A-Z a. Take time to asses your situation and plan your pull. b. Put on gloves to protect your hands. c. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling and to save energy. d. Attach the hand saver hook to the clevis hook. e.
v. Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire already on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool from the point where the rope is tight. w. Keep your hands clear of the winch drum and fairlead as the wire rope is being drawn in.

EWL5000K、EWL8000K: EWL8000、EWL9000、EWL10000: CAUTION – Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive. Wear eye protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over battery while making connections. 6. Assemble the clevis hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the clevis hook, connect the clevis hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the clevis Hook.
MOUNTING DRAWING The mounting drawing U type S type WINCH ACCESSORIES NOT INCLUDED WITH YOUR WINCH Gloves – For handling the wire rope and hook strap. Anchor Strap/Chain – Tree saver anchor straps are made of high quality nylon with high tensile strengths up to 15000lbs.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket over the wire rope five or six feet from the hook. In the event of a broken cable it will dampen the snap back. For additional protection open the Fig 3.3 hood of the vehicle as shown in Fig 3.3 For pulls over 70% rated line pull, we recommend the use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the wire rope.
REPLACING THE WIRE ROPE If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of strands breaking, it must be replaced before being used again. 1. Turning clutch to the “CLUTCH OUT” position. 2. Extend cable assembly to its full length. Note how the existing cable is connected to the drum.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED ACTION -Switch Assembly connected improperly -Re-Insert switch assembly into the connector. -Tighten nuts on all cable connections. -Loose battery cable connections -Replace switch assembly. Motor does not -Defective switch -Check for voltage at armature port with Switch turn on assembly pressed.
