Install Winch as Base Tube
24. Once the desired height is reached, remove the winch from the winch holder. Insert the
winch tube into the bottom tube with the white button up and in the notch of the other
tube. Ensure that the pulley and the white button are properly aligned.
25. While holding onto the winch base tube, unlock the lower clamp and slowly allow the
winch tube to lower and rest on the ground. Lock the lower clamp.
26. Pull the J-hook and place it through the locking hole in the winch. If it does not seat, turn
the winch handle counterclockwise until the J-hook seats through the locking hole and a
spool hole in the winch. This will safely lock your payload.
