Winch Operation
NOTES: For optimal winch performance, it is recom-
mended that you use a fully charged 12V battery
with at least 650 Cold Cranking Amperes. Further,
it is advised to keep the engine running during the
winch operation, so that the battery is being charged
continuously.
All Mile Marker SX winches are equipped with a Cam
Ring that engages / disengages the clutch. Clutch,
when engaged, will couple the gear train with winch
drum; this is also known as Locking the winch. The
Clutch, when disengaged, de-couples the gear train
from the winch drum enabling the drum to rotate
independently; this is also called Freespooling the
winch.
CAUTION: Before you start using your new Mile
Marker winch, you will have to re-wind the entire ca-
ble on the drum under a load of at least 500 lbs (227
Kg) starting with at least 5 wraps on the initial layer.
Failure to do so will result in the outer wraps press-
ing against the inner warps resulting in the damage
of the cable.
Always have at least 5 wraps of cable on the winch
drum before winching.
Always ensure that the clutch is fully engaged or fully
disengaged to avoid any injuries and damages.
All electrical winches are for intermittent use only.
Never run the winch for more than 1 min at maxi-
mum rated load. Wait until the motor cools down
before resuming winching operation. Usage of a
snatch block is recommended to reduce the load on
the winch motor.
All Mile Marker Electric Winches come with an Au-
tomatic Load Holding brake; so never run the winch
against the brake (OUT on the hand control) for more
than 10 seconds. Failure to do so might result in dam-
age to the brake and motor.
Always stay clear off from the loaded winch cable.
