Installation Instructions
HANDLE ATTACHMENT AND WINCH MOUNTING
1) Insert handle onto input shaft hexagon end. Align screw holes
and drive shaft indents (Fig. 1). Tighten the set screws with
the wrench provided. Note: Do not remove or adjust any
hardware on the input shaft except the handle. This is critical
to the braking system and must be left intact.
2) Mount the winch to a structure capable of supporting at least 3
times the load the winch will be pulling. (Mounting hardware
not supplied.) The mounting surface must be equal to or
greater than the footprint of the winch frame. Mounting
bolts will vary in length for each application. Note: When
bolting the winch down, use three grade 5, 3/8 diameter
bolts, flat washers and locknuts and torque to 30 ft-lbs.
Always use outer most slots at the end opposite the direction
of line pull. Use large flat washer if using center slot at
opposite end.
CABLE ATTACHMENT TO DRUM
1) Feed the cable over the top of drum and through the drum side
slot. Insert cable end through one side of cable clamp and loop
back into the other side as shown in Fig. 2. Tighten clamp nut
slightly and reduce loop by pulling cable (see Fig. 3).
2) Tighten cable clamp nut until cable is adequately clamped
(approximately 20-30 in-lbs.) Replace cable clamp each time
cable is replaced.
3) Always be sure the cable is pulling straight off the winch, not
at an angle. This will prevent the cable from rubbing against
the sides of the drum, which can damage the cable. Neatly
wrapping the cable is necessary to reduce the chance of
kinking, fraying or any other damage to the cable.

may attempt to operate the winch, thereby
creating an unsafe condition.
This winch is designed for manual operation only

intermittent use cycle.
Excessive force in turning winch handle may
indicate overload. Pro Series 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.
