Diagram2: Principle of power works
NOTE:
1. Your battery must be kept in good condition.
2. Be sure battery cables are not drawn across any surfaces, which could possibly damage
them.
3. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.
4. Clean all connections especially in remote control switch and receptacle.
5. Use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion in marine environments.
6. Index the heads of the plate studs into the keyhole slots on the back of the winch.
7. Attach the winch/adaptor plate assembly to your trailer hitch by inserting the trailer hitch ball
through the receiver in the adaptor plate.
OPERATING YOUR WINCH
Read the following carefully before attempting to operate your winch and keep the instructions for
future reference.
1. The uneven spooling of cable while pulling a load is not a problem unless there is a cable
pile up on one end of the drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the load and
move your anchor point further to the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you can
un-spool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.
2. Store the remote control switch inside your vehicle where it will not become damaged and
inspect before you plug it in.
3. When ready to begin spooling in, plug in remote control switch with clutch disengaged. Do
not engage clutch with motor running.
4. Never connect the hook back to the cable; this causes cable damage. Always use a sling or
chain of suitable strength.
5. Observe your winch while in operation, if possible while standing at a safe distance. Stop the
winching process every 3 feet or so to assure the cable is not piling up in one corner.
Jamming the cable can break your winch.
6. Do not attach tow hooks to the winch mounting apparatus. They must be attached to vehicle
frame.
7. The use of a snatch block will aid recovery operations by providing a doubling of the winch
capacity and a halving of the winching speed, and the means to maintain a direct line pull to
the center of the rollers. When double loading during stationary winching, the winch hook
