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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WINCH Your winch is a powerful piece of machinery. It is important that you understand the basics of its operation and specifications so that when you need to use it, you can use it with confidence and safety. Below is a list of the components of your winch and their use.
10. Solenoid: Power from the vehicle battery flows through the weather-sealed switch before being directed to the winch motor. 11. Remote Switch: The Power switch leads have a dual switch for powering in or powering out your winch drum. The Power switch leads allow you to stand clear of the wire rope when the winch is under load.

WARNING – Use gloves to protect hands when handling the cable. Never let the cable slide through your hands. WARNING – Never connect the cable back to itself. Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle when on an incline. Duration of winching pulls should be kept as short as possible.
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each use. A frayed or damaged rope must be replaced immediately. Use only the manufacturer’s replacement rope with the exact specifications. Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight before each operation.

l. Inspect the wire rope. Make sure there are at least 5 wraps of wire rope around the winch drum. m. Drape a winch sail (recommended), blanket or jacket over the wire rope approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook. Open the vehicle bonnet if possible for added protection.
WINCH ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING 1. Your 2000lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for the popular ATV’s and mounting channels. If you will utilize the mounting channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned.
