Loss of traction can cause a shock load on
the cable.
WARNING
Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the wire rope.
CAUTION
SAFETY RULES

4
13050 ENGLISH
Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead
lifting.
WARNING
When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the
cable spools in the under-wind position with
the cable entering the drum from the bottom,
not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing
gloves, keep a slight load on the cable while
pushing the remote button to draw in the
cable. Walk toward the winch not allowing the
cable to slide through your hands. Do not let
your hands get within 30 cm (12 in.) of the
winch while re-spooling. Turn off the winch
and repeat the procedure until a few feet of
cable are left. Disconnect the remote control
and finish spooling by rotating the drum by
hand with the clutch disengaged. Keep hands
clear of the fairlead and drum while the winch
is under power .
WARNING
Use gloves to protect hands when handling
the cable. Never let the cable slide through
your hands.
CAUTION
Never release the free-spool clutch when
there is a load on the winch.
CAUTION
Do not wrap the cable around any object and
hook it back onto itself.
CAUTION
Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle
when on an incline.
CAUTION
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.
Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in
constant duty applications.

ENGLISH 13050
Read this owner’s manual before operating your winch. Familiarize yourself with the location and
function of the controls and features.Save this manual for future reference.
Winch
(1) Motor - 1.3 HP/1 kW 12V DC motor
provides power to the planetary gear
mechanism.
(2) Braking System - Braking action is
automatically applied to the winch drum
when the winch motor is stopped and
there is a load on the wire rope.
(3) Winch Drum - The winch drum is the
cylinder on which the wire rope is stored.
It can feed or wind the rope depending on
the remote winch switch.
(4) Planetary Gear System - The reduction
gears convert the winch motor power into
extreme pulling forces. This system allows
high torque while maintaining compact
size and light weight.
(5) Free Spooling Clutch - The clutch allows
the operator to manually disengage
(“Out”) the spooling drum from the gear
train, free spool. Engaging the clutch
(“In”) locks the winch into the gear
system.
(6) Mounting Channel
(7) Rocker Switch - Rocker switch with
handlebar mount for powering the rope in
or out of your winch drum.
(8) Solenoid/Contactor - Power from the
vehicle battery flows through the weather
sealed contactor before being directed to
the winch motor.
(9) Wire Rope - 3/16 in.x 45.9 ft. galvanized
aircraft cable designed specifically for
load capacity of 3,000 lb. The wire rope
feeds onto the drum in the “under wind”
position through the roller fairlead (10)
and is looped at the end to accept the
clevis hook pin.
(10) Roller Fairlead - When using the winch at
an angle the roller fairlead acts to guide
the wire rope onto the drum and minimizes
damage to the wire rope from abrasion on
the winch mount or bumper.
(11) Winch Connection Cables - Used to
connect the contactor to the winch motor.
(12) Clevis Hook – Provides a means for
connecting the looped ends of cables to
an anchor.
(13) Strap – Used to assist cable feed.

ASSEMBLY
Mounting the Winch
This CPE 3,000 lb winch is designed with a bolt
pattern that is standard in this class of winch.
Many winch mounting kits are available that
utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular
trucks, SUV’s and ATV’s. If you cannot find a kit
locally, contact CPE and we will provide you with
the name of a dealer.
Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 34 ft.lb.
CAUTION
The type of vehicle to which the winch and
mounting channel will be applied, will dictate
the type of mounting kit that should be used
(Speed Mount™Hitch Adapter, Standard
Mounting Channel, or Specialty Mounting Kit).
NOTE
If utilizing a mounting plate, ensure that
the three major sections (motor, drum and
gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the winch will allow for even
distribution of the full rated load.
CAUTION
Solenoid/Contactor Location
Find a location for the solenoid/contactor. It is
recommended that the solenoid/contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean, dry
location. Make sure the location chosen allows for
sufficient clearance from all metal components.
Drill mounting holes if required. Once a location
is found, DO NOT install the unit until all wiring
is completed (see wiring section).
Terminals coming in contact with metal
will cause a direct short, possibly causing
solenoid/contactor and/or battery damage.
NOTE
Install the Rocker Switch
1. Decide which handlebar the rocker switch will
be mounted on. (The rocker switch is usually
installed on the left handlebar).
2. Use a piece of electrical tape (not provided)
around the handlebar to help prevent rotation
of the mount.
3. Tighten the rocker switch in place. DO NOT
overtighten or tighten/clamp over any hoses
or cables.
4. Once the rocker switch is mounted, the wires
can be routed back to where the solenoid/
contactor is located.
5. Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the rocker switch’s
cable with the supplied cable ties.
Mounting the Winch Cont’d.
1. Insert M10x20 bolts through the mounting
channel holes and attach the roller fairlead to
the mounting channel with the M10 lock nuts
provided.
2. Turn the winch upside down. Place the
mounting channel on the winch, making sure
the winch is centered in the middle of it.
3. Thread the M8x25 bolts through the M8 flat
and lockers washers, and then thread through
the mounting channel.Tighten the bolts. DO
NOT over tighten.
4. Turn winch right side up. Disengage the
clutch by moving the Cam Ring to the “Out”
position. Release the wire rope and pull
through the roller fairlead.
5. Attach the clevis hook to the cable, and then
hand strap to the clevis hook.

7
ENGLISH 13050
ASSEMBLY
6. Splice the end of the red wire on the rocker
switch, to an ignition (keyed) controlled power
source using the supplied wire tap.
7. Once all wiring is connected to the solenoid/
contactor it can then be mounted using the
supplied M6 hardware.
8. Tighten the solenoid/contactor terminal nuts.
DO NOT over tighten.
9. Connect the black lead to the negative (-)
terminal of the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.
10. Place all terminal boots over terminals and
secure all cables with cable ties or electrical
tape (not included).
11. Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn
the clutch knob to the “Out” position (free
spooling).Pull out some cable from the drum,
and then turn the clutch knob to the “In”
position to engage the gears. Press the cable
out button on the rocker switch. If the drum
is turning and releasing more cable, then
your connections are accurate. If the drum
is turning and collecting more cable then
reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat and
check rotation.
Battery cables should NOT be drawn taut.
Leave some slack for cable movement.
CAUTION
1. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the
motor terminals on the winch. (Yellow to the
positive (+) terminal of the motor. Blue to the
negative (-) terminal of the motor). Tighten
the terminal nuts on the motor. DO NOT over
tighten.Route the other ends to the solenoid/
contactor location.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the
solenoid/contactor (yellow to yellow and
blue to blue).DO NOT tighten nuts.
3. Connect the red and black cables to the
solenoid/contactor (red to red and
black to black).DO NOT tighten nuts. Route
the other ends to the vehicle’s battery.
4. Connect the red lead to the positive (+)
terminal of the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.
5. Connect the rocker switch to the solenoid/
contactor (black to black and green to green).
Depending on the location of the solenoid/
contactor, you may need to use the black and
red cables in place of the yellow and blue, and
the yellow and blue in place of the red and
black. Just remember that this also changes
the diagram.
NOTE
You may need to use a test light to locate a
suitable wire. The wire should only have power
when the key is in the ON position.
NOTE
Wiring the Winch Cont’d.
Wiring the Winch
NEVER route electrical cables across any
sharp edges, through and/or near moving
parts, or near parts that may become hot.

OPERATION
General Tips for Safe Operation
Your 13050 winch is rated at a 3,000 lb.
(1361 kg) capacity in first layer (max) when
spooling the first rope layer on the drum. Overloads
can damage the winch, motor and/or wire rope. For
loads over 1,500 lb. (680 kg) we recommend the
use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the
wire rope line.This will aid in two ways:
(a) reduce the number or rope layers on the drum,
as well as,
(b) reduce the load on the wire rope by as much
as 50%.
When doubling the line back to the vehicle,
attach to the tow hook, frame or other load bearing
part. The vehicle engine should be kept running
during operation of the winch to minimize battery
drain and maximize power and speed of the winch.
If the winch is used for a considerable time with
the engine off the battery may be drained and too
weak to restart the motor.
Get to know your winch before you actually need to
use it. We recommend that you set up a few test
runs to familiarize yourself with rigging techniques,
the sounds your winch makes under various loads,
the way the cable spools on the drum, etc.
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each
use. A frayed or damaged rope shall be replaced
immediately. Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement rope with the exact specifications.
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure
that all bolts are tight before each operation.Store
the remote control inside your vehicle in a place
that it will not be damaged.
Any winch that appears to be damaged in any way,
is found to be worn, or operates abnormally MUST
BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED.
It is recommended that the necessary repairs be
made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility.
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.Only attachments and/
or adapters supplied by the manufacturer are to be
used.
Self Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk
or boulder.Always use a sling as an anchor point.
Your winch is equipped with a roller fairlead to
help guide the wire rope and to reduce binding on
short side pulls. Do not winch from an acute angle
as the wire rope will pile up on one side of the
drum causing damage to wire rope and the winch.
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten
the vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the wire
rope at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket
over the wire rope five or six feet from the hook.
In the event of a broken cable it will dampen the
snap back. For additional protection open the
hood of the vehicle. For pulls over 1,500 lb.
(680 kg), we recommend the use of the snatch
block/pulley block to double line the wire rope.
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain
on the rope by approximately 50%.

OPERATION
Winching Techniques A-Z
(a) Take time to assess your situation and plan
your pull.
(b) Put on gloves to protect your hands.
(c) Disengage the clutch to allow free- spooling
and also save battery power.
(d) Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook.
(e) Pull out the wire rope to your desired anchor
point using the hook strap.
(f) Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point:
Sling, chain or snatch block. Do not attach
the hook back onto the wire rope.
(g) Engage the clutch.
(h) Connect the remote control to the winch. If
you are going to control the winch from inside
your vehicle then pass the remote through an
open window to avoid the wires being pinched
in the door.
(i) Start your engine to ensure power is being
replenished to the battery.
(j) Drape a blanket or jacket over the wire rope
approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook.
Open the hood for added protection.
(k) Power in the wire rope guiding the wire under
tension to draw up the slack in the wire. Once
the wire is under tension, stand clear. Never
step over the wire rope.
(l) Double check your anchors and make sure all
connections are secure.
(m) Inspect the wire rope. Make sure there are at
least 5 wraps of wire rope around the winch
drum.
(n) Clear the area. Make sure all spectators stand
clear and that no one is directly in front or
behind the vehicle or anchor point.
(o) Begin winching. Be sure that the wire rope
is winding evenly and tightly around the
drum. The vehicle that is being winched can
be slowly driven to add assistance to the
winching process. Avoid shock loads; keep
the wire rope under tension.
Winching Techniques A-Z Cont’d.
(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.
(r) The winching operation is complete once the
vehicle is on stable ground and is able to
drive under its own power.
(s) Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes
and place the vehicle in park.
(t) Release the tension on the wire rope. The
winch is not meant to hold the vehicle for
long periods of time.
(u) Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor.
(v) Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire
already on the drum has spooled tightly and
neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool
from the point where the rope is tight.
(w) Keep your hands clear of the winch drum and
fairlead as the wire rope is being drawn in.
(x) Secure the hook and hook strap.
(y) Disconnect the remote control and store in a
clean, dry place.
(z) Clean and inspect connections and mounting
hardware for next winching operation.
