Contactor/Solenoid Location
Find a location for the contactor/solenoid. It is
recommended that the contactor/solenoid 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).
 NOTICE
Terminals coming in contact with metal will cause a
direct short, possibly causing contactor/solenoid and/
or battery damage.
Installing the Mini-Rocker Switch
1. Decide which handlebar the mini-rocker switch will
be mounted on. The mini-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.
Loosen the hardware and mount to the handlebar.
Tighten the mini-rocker switch in place. DO NOT
overtighten or tighten/clamp over any hoses or
cables.
Once the mini-rocker switch is mounted, the wires
can be routed back to where the solenoid/contactor
is located.
Make sure the handlebars have full range of motion
and then secure the mini-rocker switch’s cable with
the supplied cable ties.
Wiring the Winch
 CAUTION
NEVER route electrical cables across any sharp
edges, through and/or near moving parts, or near
parts that may become hot.
 CAUTION
Battery cables should NOT be drawn tight. Leave
some slack for cable movement.
 NOTICE
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.
 NOTICE
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

OPERATION
General Tips for Safe Operation
Your winch is rated at a 4000 lb. (1814 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 50% we recommend the use of
the pulley block/snatch block (not included) to double the
wire rope line. This will aid in two ways:
–reduce the number or cable/rope layers on the drum,
as well as,
–reduce the load on the cable/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 engine.
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
cable/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 (not included) as an anchor
point.
Your winch is equipped with a roller fairlead to help guide
the cable/rope and to reduce binding on short side pulls.
Do not winch from an acute angle as the cable/rope will
pile up on one side of the drum causing damage to cable/
rope and the winch.
Correct Incorrect
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the
vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the cable/rope at
a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle. When pulling a heavy
load, place a blanket or jacket over the cable/rope 5 – 6’
(1.5 – 1.8 m) from the hook. In the event of a broken
cable/rope it will dampen the snap back.

201162 - 4000 LB. (1,814 KG) WINCH OPERATION
14
For additional protection open the hood of the vehicle.
For pulls over 2,000 lb (907.2 kg), we recommend the
use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the
cable/rope.
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the
rope by approximately 50%.
Single Line Double Line
Winching Techniques A-Z
a. Take time to assess your situation and plan your
pull.
b. Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling
cable/rope.
c. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling and
also save battery power.
d. Always use supplied hand strap whenever spooling
rope in or out, during installation and during
operation.
e. Pull out the cable/rope to your desired anchor point
using the hand strap.
f. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: Sling,
chain or snatch block. Do not attach the hook back
onto the cable/rope.
g. Engage the clutch.
h. Connect the mini-rocker switch to the winch.
i. Start your engine to ensure power is being
replenished to the battery.
j. Drape a blanket or jacket over the cable/rope
approximately 5 – 6’ (1.5 – 1.8 m) from the hook.
Open the hood for added protection.
k. Power in the cable/rope guiding the rope under
tension to draw up the slack in the rope. Once the
rope is under tension, stand clear. Never step over
the cable/rope.
l. Double check your anchors and make sure all
connections are secure.
m. Inspect the cable/rope. Make sure there are at least
5 wraps of cable/rope around the winch drum. Your
rope is marked with red on wrap 5 to 6 as a visual
indicator.
Red
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 cable/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 cable/rope under tension.
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 cable/rope. The winch
is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods of
time.
u. Disconnect the cable/rope from the anchor.
v. Rewind the cable/rope. Make sure that any rope
already on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly.
If not, draw out the rope and re-spool from the
point where the rope is tight.
