  • Page 2: Safety Warnings

    SAFETY WARNINGS LEARN TO USE YOUR MILE MARKER WINCH: After winch has been installed, take some time and practice using it so you will be familiar with all operations. Periodically check the winch installation to ensure that all bolts are tight. To ensure proper operation, carefully inspect for any damaged parts before operating the winch.
  • Page 3 PRECAUTIONS Keeps hands and body away from roller or hawse fairlead (steel cable/synthetic rope intake slot) when operating. Secure vehicle in position before using winch. Do not exceed winch load weight capacity. Be certain winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that can hold the winch load. Always use proper couplings when connecting winch steel cable/synthetic rope hook to load.
  • Page 4: Getting Started

    (gear housing end, drum, and motor end) are in proper alignment. 1. If necessary, drill four mounting holes (10mm in dia.), in a 10” x 4.5” pattern; Mile Marker can furnish you with a drilling template. 2. Fasten the winch body to the mounting platform using the four screws, washers and spring washers (see parts breakdown & assembly for each winch) provided 3.
  • Page 5: Wiring Instructions

    WIRING INSTRUCTIONS Wiring the Control Box 1. Slip the boots onto pertinent cables and make electrical connection in accordance with the schematic on following page. Slide the boots onto all the electrical connections made (Fig. 2-12 through 2-14). 2. Run battery power cables carefully under hood of vehicle, avoiding interference with moving parts and abrasion points which could potentially cause electrical short.
  • Page 6: Winch Operation

    CAUTION: Before using your new Mile Marker electric winch, rewind the entire steel cable/synthetic rope on the drum under a load of at least 500 lbs (227 kg) starting with at least 5 wraps of steel cable, or 10 wraps of synthetic rope on the initial layer. Failure to do so will result in the outer wraps pressing against the inner wraps, damaging the steel cable/synthetic rope.
  • Page 7: Winching Tips & Techniques

    Safety Tips •DO NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH LEVER WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH. Mile Marker electric winches utilize an automatic load holding brake, therefore no adjustment to clutch is needed to maintain load.
  • Page 8 Self Recovery 1. Always attempt to get the steel cable/synthetic rope as straight as possible to the direction of the vehicle. It is acceptable to start a pull at an angle if it is obvious that the vehicle will turn towards the hook anchoring point. Turning the steering wheel will assist the process. It is recommended that the driver is in the vehicle.
