Competition Winch

I.Introduction
What’s in the wooden case:
The Blazer M2/M3 Competition Winch is designed and built for extreme performance and
reliability in different off-roading events. Blazer M2/M3 features a patented motor connecting
mechanism that allows external motor(s) be added to increase dynamic power.
The Blazer competition winch is available in two motor (M2) and three motor (M3) versions;
additionally, there are three different gear ratio sets allowing you to choose the best combination
of line speed and capacity to use in a specific competition.
Another breakthrough of Blazer M2/M3 is the brake system. Blazer M2/M3 is equipped with
dual braking systems: a mechanical ratchet brake in the gear box cover and air actuated brakes
at each motor. Blazer M2/M3 uses a patented Air Brake Release Mechanism. This system allows
the team to disable the air brake when there is any malfunction of the air system during competition,
yet still have mechanical brake to safely continue the event.

How to mount the Blazer M2/M3
1. Mounting the Winch
(1) It is very important that the winch is installed on a
flat and solid mounting surface in order to make sure
the motor, drum and gearbox housing are aligned
correctly.
(2) Twelve (12) M12 x 1.75 pitch 12.9 grade with 137
N-m torque settings (maximum) high tensile steel
bolts must be used in order to sustain the loads
imposed on the winch mounting.

2
2 Fitting the Hawse Fairlead
(1) Hawse fairlead does not mount to the winch directly.
(2) The synthetic rope shall be wound in an under-wound orientation only.
(3) Two (2) M10 x 1.5 pitch 8.8 grade with 44 N-m torque settings high tensile steel bolts
must be used for fastening the hawse fairlead into the mounting channel.
II. Application Information
Rope
1.Blazer M2/M3 is designed to be operated using synthetic winch ropes (we do not
recommend the use of steel cables with this winch).
2.Blazer M2/M3 winch is designed to be used in the upright position and the rope should
be installed from under the drum. This is referred to as “Under wound”.
3.Blazer M2/M3 comes with 11mm x 46M synthetic rope as standard accessories.
Once the synthetic rope needs to be replaced, please follow the procedures below:
1. Synthetic Rope Replacement.
(1) Disengage the winch clutch, remove existing rope and replace the hawse fairlead if
necessary.
(2) Guide the new rope through the collar (Fig. 1) and tie a knot leaving a 20-25 cm
(8-10 in.) tail (Fig. 2 and 3).
(3) Cut the lateral side of the end by 45° and apply 3 wraps of electrical tape to hold cut
strands in place (Fig. 4).
(4) Tighten and wrap the synthetic rope around the drum (Fig. 5).
(5) A minimum of ten (10) wraps of synthetic rope around the drum is necessary to support
the rated load (Fig. 6 ).

2. Tips for Rope care and use.
(1) Periodically check the rope for damage or wear.
(2) Abrasion can damage or weaken your synthetic rope, protect your rope from rubbing
against sharp objects or edges.
(3) An aluminum hawse fairlead is required (provided by factory) since it has no sharp
edges and resists damage better than a roller fairlead.
(4) Your synthetic rope clean and dry. To clean it after exposure to sand and mud, spool
out the rope, rinse it with clean water, and let it dry completely before re-spooling.
Blazer M2/M3 is fitted with an air clutch mechanism to allow driver control of the rope
free spool. The free spool function allows fast removal of the rope from the winch without
having to engage the motors. Some notes please follow when doing the free spool:
1.Connect air source to the PF-1/4”-19 fitting (see figure below.) The required air pressure
to disengage air clutch is 120psi (8.3 bar)
Once air pressure is applied to disengage the clutch, the drum is allowed to free spool.
2.Do not disengage the drum when winch is under load.
3.Release the air pressure to engage the drum. Do not attempt to pull a load until the air
clutch in the “Engaged” position.
4.Wear leather gloves and use a strap when guiding the synthetic rope on and off the drum.
Please read carefully before operating the winch
1.Blazer M2/M3 is a very powerful high-speed winch designed for competition use and
it is necessary that only experienced competitors operate the winch. Treat the Blazer
racing winch with extreme care and observe all cautions and warnings.
2.The winch capacity is rated at the first layer of synthetic rope on the drum for intermittent-periodic
duty.
3.The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
4.A minimum of ten (10) wraps of rope around the drum is necessary to support the rated
load.
5.Keep clear of winch, rope, hook, and fairlead while operating.
6.Synthetic rope can break without warning. Always keep a safe distance from the winch
and rope while under a load.

Electrical
7. Retain tension on the synthetic rope before winching. A sudden winching load can result
in broken synthetic rope as well as damage to the drum.
8. Failure to adequately align, support, or attach winch to a suitable mounting base could
result in a loss of efficiency of performance or damage the winch, rope and mounting
channel.
9. The Warranty will be invalid if the operating voltage is higher than 14.5V.
Blazer M2/M3 comes prewired and ready to use. You only need to connect the power
and ground cables to the battery and connect the control wiring properly.
(Please refer to the wiring diagram in this manual)
To maintain efficient and adequate power supply required to cope with the demands
the Blazer M2/M3 will place on it the vehicle electrical system please consider the following:
(1) The main ground connection for the winch motors must go to the batteries and not
to the frame of the vehicle.
(2) The ground connections for the air solenoid must not come from the winch motor
ground connection.
(3) The positive switching for the air solenoid must be from a battery not used for the winch.
(4) The recommended battery capacity shall be at least 950 CCA.
Lubricating oil is an essential part for the winch. All moving parts in the winch are
lubricated at the time of assembly, so it is unnecessary to add lubricating oil when using
the winch first time. The lubricating oil needs to be replaced only after total 5 operating
hours or the gear box been taken apart for maintenance.
Suggested grease: Shell GADUS S2 V220 0 lubricating
Viscosity (cSt): 220 mm2 / s at 40°C; 19 mm2 /s at 100°C
Amount: 1200cc
1. Dual Brakes
The new Blazer M2/M3 is equipped with dual braking systems: a mechanical ratchet
brake and air actuated motor brake systems. Both brake systems can offer sufficient brake
force under no load and full load circumstances.
The motor brake system requires minimum 120psi (8.3 bar) air pressure to operate.
Please ensure that this system is connected to an adequate air supply. The patented
Blazer M2/M3 air brake system can easily be overridden if there is a loss of air supply in
competition or the vehicle does not have on board air.
2. Durable Mechanical brake
The mechanical ratchet brake inside the gear box cover can safely hold the full winch
capacity load in the event that the air actuated motor brakes are overridden.
