INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a winch. We design and build winches to strict specifications and with proper use and maintenance should bring you years of satisfying service. WARNING - Read, study and follow all instructions before operating this device.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WINCH Your 12000lb winch is a powerful piece of machinery. It is important that you understand the basics of its operation and specifications so that when you need to use it, you can use it with confidence and safety. Below is a list of the components of your winch and their use.
11. Universal Flat Bed Mounting Channel: Your winch has been optional supplied with a flat bed mounting channel that can be mounted to most flat surfaces such as trailers, step bumpers, truck beds, etc. The mounting channel also has holes to accept your roller fairlead. 12.

properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load. 2. Start by connecting the Roller Fairlead (Part# 120700) to the Mounting Channel (Part# 120025) using 2 each of the Cap Bolt M10 X 35 (Part# 120002), Flat Washer (Part# 120004), Lock Washer (Part# 120003) and securing with M10 Nut(Part# 120024) (Make sure the bolt is placed through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel.
6. Assemble the Clevis Hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the Clevis Hook, connect the Clevis Hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the Clevis Hook. 7. Always use the Hand Saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope. Using the Hand Saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the rotating drum.

WARNING-Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use. WARNING- Do not exceed maximum pull rating. Avoid “shock loads” by using the control switch intermittently to take up the slack in the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rate capacity for the wire rope and drum.
Duration of winching pulls should be kept as short as possible. If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to the touch, stop winching immediately and let it cool down for a few minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load. CAUTION - If the motor stalls do not maintain power to the winch.
Never connect the cable back to itself. This will cause cable damage. Always use a snatch block, sling or chain of suitable strength as shown in the illustrations. Store the remote control inside your vehicle in a place that it will not be damaged.
For pulls over 10000lbs, we recommend the use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the wire rope. Fig 3.4 This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the rope by Fig 3.4 approximately 50%. WARNING - Never use your winch for overhead hoisting or for lifting people or moving people.
p. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in neutral and the emergency brake released. Only release the brake pedal when under full tension. Avoid shock loads to the winch. This can damage the winch, rope and vehicle. q. The winch is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single line rig do not power in for more than a minute without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes and then resume the winching operation.
defective rope by free spooling. Remove the bolt (Part# 120009) M8x10 on the drum and release the rope. Insert the end of the new rope and secure the M8x 10 mm bolt tightly. Engage the clutch and re-spool the new rope on the drum keeping tension on the rope as it spools.
