MODEL #A3000 – 3,000LB (1361KG) WINCH
Snow Plow Usage
Winches are commonly used to lift a Snow Plow System,
but precautions and correct usage are required to prevent
costly damage.
noTICe
Follow these precautions before
using your Winch to lift a Plow. Failure to do so may
result in damage to your winch or vehicle frame.
1.
Stop the plow before full lift height - failure to do
so will cause the winch to pull against itself (i.e.
"bottom out") and will cause damage to the winch
components, your plow frame and your vehicle
frame.
noTICe
Winch damage such as stripped
gears, broken housings and bent or damaged parts
caused by exceeding your plow's lift height are not
covered under warranty.
2.
Do not continue to hold the Spool In button to
power the winch while reversing your vehicle or
other instances where the operator may become
distracted while plowing.

Motor
Periodically when not used very often, or after wet / damp
conditions. Be sure to run the motor in free spool until
the motor is warm. This helps dry out any moisture and
condensation trapped inside the housing.
Lubrication
All moving parts within the Electric Winch have been
Lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the
factory. No internal lubrication is required under normal
conditions.
If the winch is subjected to extreme conditions lubrication
may be required using a high temperature lithium grease.
Retract Cable Assembly onto drum being careful not to
allow kinking or over heating of the winch.
Cable Assembly Replacement
It is recommended that any modifications be performed
by a manufacturer's authorized repair facility, and that
only manufacturer-supplied parts be used
1.
Rotate the clutch cap to the "Release" position.
2.
Extend Cable Assembly to its full length. Note how
the existing cable is connected to the inside of the
drum.
3.
Remove old Cable Assembly and attach new one.
4.
Rotate the clutch cap to the "Engage" position.
noTICe
Inspect cable before and after each
use. If cable becomes frayed it must be replaced.
