This KEEPER® Winch is equipped with a series wound, 12 Volt DC motor and is designed for
INTERMITTENT GENERAL DUTY USE. This electric winch is similar to most electric motor driven tools and
should not be allowed to become overly hot. Stop winch if motor starts to labor or end of motor becomes
hot to the touch. Stop winching and allow motor to cool down. Minimum electrical requirements are 60 amp
alternator and battery with 650 CCA (cold cranking amp) capacity. This Winch (FIGURE 2) is not intended
for use in lifting/hoisting applications and the manufacturer does not warrant it to be suitable for such use.
The Freespool Clutch disengages the gearbox to allow the wire or synthetic rope to be pulled out without
using electric power. A Remote Switch with 15’ lead and wireless switch allows a wide variety of mounting
options.

1. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR WINCH. After installing the Winch,
practice using it before the need arises. NEVER ALLOW PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS PRODUCT
TO OPERATE IT. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND LEATHER GLOVES WHILE WORKING WITH
MACHINERY.
2. DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY OF
THE WINCH. DO NOT OVERLOAD! DO NOT
ATTEMPT PROLONGED PULLS OF HEAVY
LOADS! Overloads can damage the Winch
and/or the wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions. FOR LOADS OVER
75% OF THE RATED WINCH CAPACITY,
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A PULLEY
BLOCK TO DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE .
(Figure 3). This reduces the load on the Winch, the strain on the rope and electrical system.
3. Never apply a load to your winch with the wire or synthetic rope fully extended. Keep at least 5 wraps on
the
winch drum.
4. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHOULD BE RUNNING DURING WINCH OPERATION. If winching is performed with
the engine turned off, the battery may be too weak to restart the engine.
5. DO NOT operate your vehicle to assist the Winch in pulling the load. The combination of the Winch and
vehicle pulling together could overload the wire or synthetic rope and the Winch.
6. WHEN IN USE, ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE ROPE, HOOK
AND WINCH.
7A. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIPMENT FREQUENTLY. A
FRAYED, KINKED OR FLATTENED WIRE ROPE NEEDS TO BE
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Periodically check the Winch installa-
tion to ensure that all bolts are tight.
7B. INSPECT SYNTHETIC ROPE AND EQUIPMENT FREQUENTLY.
A FRAYED, KINKED, OR MELTED SYNTHETIC ROPE NEEDS
TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Periodically check the winch
instillation to ensure that all bolts are tight and secure.

8. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when handling rope. DO NOT
LET ROPE SLIDE THROUGH YOUR GLOVED OR UNGLOVED
HANDS. ALWAYS USE THE HAND-SAVER STRAP when guiding the rope in or out (Figure 4).
9. NEVER WINCH WITH LESS THAN 5 WRAPS OF ROPE AROUND THE WINCH DRUM since the wire rope
end fastener may NOT withstand full load.
10.KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT ROPE AND HOOK WHEN OPERATING WINCH. NEVER STEP OVER TAUT
ROPE.
11. NEVER HOOK THE ROPE BACK ONTO ITSELF. This will damage the rope. Use a KEEPER 02953 3” X 6’
WINCH STRAP, tree saver or other recommended accessory for this type
connection (Figure 5).
12. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR LIFTING OR
MOVING PEOPLE!
13. YOUR WINCH IS NOT INTENDED FOR OVER
HEAD HOISTING OPERATIONS.
14. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS FROM
EXTREME ANGLES. This will cause the rope to
pile and jam in the Winch, causing damage to
the rope or Winch (Figure 6).

General Safety Warnings & Cautions (Continued)
15. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING INSTRUCTION
LABELS ON THE WINCH.
16. It is highly recommended to lay a heavy cloth
(such as a blanket or tarp) over the wire rope
when pulling heavy loads (Figure 7). If a wire
rope failure should occur, the cloth will act as a
damper and help prevent the wire rope from
whipping. If mounted on the front of a vehicle
then raise the hood for further protection.
17. Always operate Winch with an unobstructed
view of the Winching operation.
18. Equipment such as hooks, pulley blocks,
straps,etc. should be sized for winch
capacity and periodically inspected for
damage that could reduce their strength.
19. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL CLUTCH
WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE WINCH.
20. NEVER WORK ON OR AROUND THE WINCH
DRUM WHEN WINCH OR ROPE IS UNDER LOAD.
21. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
22. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH POWER LEADS TO BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON OR AROUND THE
WINCH DRUM so that Winch cannot be turned on accidentally.
23. When moving a load, slowly take up rope slack until it is taut. Stop, recheck all Winching connections.
Be sure the hook is properly seated. If a tree saver is used, check the attachment to the load.
24. When using a vehicle mounted Winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral (never in
Park), set vehicle hand-brake, and chock all wheels.
25. DO NOT USE THE WINCH TO HOLD LOADS IN PLACE. Use other means of securing loads such as
KEEPER brand tie-down straps. For tie-down information go to www.keepercorp.com
26. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED SWITCHES, ADAPTERS, REMOTE CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES.
Use of non-factory approved components may cause injury or property damage and could void your
warranty.
27. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such alteration may weaken the structural
integrity of the Winch and could void your warranty.
28. This is a 12 Volt DC Winch. CONNECT ONLY TO 12 VOLT DC BATTERY. DO NOT CONNECT WINCH TO
EITHER 110V OR 220V AC CURRENT AS WINCH WILL BURN OUT OR FATAL SHOCK WILL OCCUR.
This will void warranty.
29. Never allow shock loads to be applied to Winch or rope.
30. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WINCHING A LOAD UP AND DOWN A RAMP OR INCLINE.
31. Keep people, pets, and property clear of Winching path, front, rear and sides for 80’.
32. NEVER EXCEED RATING OF YOUR RECIEVER HITCH.

Extending the Life of Your Winch
Your winch incorporates an automatic load holding
brake. After winching in a load, this mechanism
holds the load, up to the rated capacity of the winch.
While powering out the load, the winch controls the
rate of speed by applying the brake in proportion
to the amount of the load in the winch cable. This
results in heavier loads powering-out more slowly
than lighter loads.
Similar to the friction-type brakes in your automobile
which can generate heat if used for a long period of
time, the winch brake can generate heat if used to
power-out a load for a long period of time.
Brake Operation
To ensure optimimum winch performance, al-
ways limit powering-out a load to 2 minutes and
allow the brake to cool for 15 minutes
before continuing to winch.
Under normal use, the brake mechanism should not
require any adjustment. Should the brake fail to hold
a load or maintain a constant rate of speed during
power-out operation, the brake spring may be worn
and require replacement.
FOR PARTS INFORMATION PLEASE CHECK www.keeperwinches.com,
[email protected], OR CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-877-533-7372
Freespool Operation
1. Lift and rotate the clutch lever to the “Disengaged”
position as shown in Figure 12. If there is a load on
the rope, the clutch lever may not turn easily. DO
NOT FORCE THE CLUTCH LEVER. Release tension
by jogging out some of the rope, then try releasing
the clutch.
2. Pull out the rope and secure to anchor or load.
3. Check that there are at least ve (5) wraps of
rope left on the drum.
4. Re-engage the drum by lift and rotating the
clutch lever to the “Engaged” position, apply
power to engage clutch (see Figure 12).
FIGURE 12
ENGAGE
DISENGAGE
! !
CAUTION
Lever must be in the engaged position and
locked before winching.
The following guidelines apply for both wire rope and synthetic rope models
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE ROPE DRUM. Keep the wire rope tightly and evenly wound on the drum all
the time. Do not allow the wire rope to become loosely wound. A loosely wound drum allows a wire rope
under load to work its way down into the layers of wire rope on the drum. When this happens, the wire
rope may become wedged within the body of the windings damaging the wire rope. A good practice is to
rewind the wire rope under tension after each use. Apply tension using hand saver strap ( FIGURE 3) and
ALWAYS wear safety glasses and leather gloves.
2. DO NOT ALLOW WINCH MOTOR TO OVERHEAT. Keep the duration of pulls as short as possible. If the
motor becomes uncomfortably hot by touching, stop winching and allow the motor to cool down.
KEEP THE VEHICLE ENGINE RUNNING TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY during the cooling break.
11

3. USE A PULLEY BLOCK FOR HEAVY LOADS. To maximize Winch and rope life, use a pulley block (not
included) to double line heavier loads. (See FIGURE 3) For maximum performance use a pulley block that
is greater than 75% of the rated capacity of the winch. For the 9,500 lbs. winch use a pulley block once
you exceed 7,125 lbs. Always use a pulley block (for part number Call Keeper Winch) that is rated twice
the capacity of the winch.
CAUTION If the winch motor stalls, do not continue to apply power.
4. The pull required to start a load moving is often much greater than the pull required to keep it moving.
AVOID FREQUENT STOPS AND STARTS DURING THE PULL.
5. PREVENT KINKS IN WIRE ROPE BEFORE THEY OCCUR
( FIGURE 13).
a. This is the start of a kink. Wire rope should be straight-
ened.
b. Wire rope was pulled and loop has tightened into a kink.
Wire rope is now permanently damaged and MUST be
replaced.
c. Result of kinking is that each strand pulls a different amount causing strands under greatest tension
to break and reduce load capacity of wire rope. The wire rope MUST be replaced. Use only genuine

Use only recommended Keeper replacement wire
rope, 100’ x 21/64” KWA14520.
Attach wire rope to the drum using screw provided
FIGURE 14).
Never substitute a heavier or lighter synthetic rope. Never use rope made of other materials than originally
supplied with your unit. Use only recommended Keeper replacement synthetic rope part number KVA10041S.
Synthetic Rope is an excellent alternative to wire rope providing a weight savings on your vehicle and much
easier to handle. Synthetic Rope can also be much safer in the event of a line break and less susceptible to
backlash during failure. Keeper still recommends using our Winch Safety Blanket part number KWA400All for
all winching activities.
Fraying of the rope is the major concern and can reduce the strength of your synthetic rope considerably. Al-
ways take special care to eliminate running the rope over edges that may promote damage. If a cut or fraying
is discovered, immediately replace the synthetic rope for strength and safety concerns.

The following guidelines apply for both wire rope and synthetic rope models
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE ROPE DRUM. Keep the rope tightly and evenly wound on the drum all the
time. Do not allow the rope to become loosely wound. A loosely wound drum allows a rope under load to
work its way down into the layers of rope on the drum. When this happens, the rope may become wedged
within the body of the windings damaging the wire rope. A good practice is to rewind the rope under ten-
sion after each use. Apply tension using hand saver strap ( FIGURE 3) and ALWAYS wear safety glasses and
leather gloves.
2. DO NOT ALLOW WINCH MOTOR TO OVERHEAT. Keep the duration of pulls as short as possible. If the
motor becomes uncomfortably hot by touching, stop winching and allow the motor to cool down.
KEEP THE VEHICLE ENGINE RUNNING TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY during the cooling break.
3. USE A PULLEY BLOCK FOR HEAVY LOADS. To maximize Winch and rope life, use a pulley block (not
included) to double line heavier loads. (See FIGURE 3) For maximum performance use a pulley block that
is greater than 75% of the rated capacity of the winch. For the 9,500 lbs. winch use a pulley block once
you exceed 7,125 lbs. Always use a pulley block (for part number Call Keeper Winch) that is rated twice
the capacity of the winch.
CAUTION If the winch motor stalls, do not continue to apply power.
4. The pull required to start a load moving is often much greater than the pull required to keep it moving.
AVOID FREQUENT STOPS AND STARTS DURING THE PULL.
5. PREVENT KINKS IN ROPE BEFORE THEY OCCUR ( FIGURE 13).
a. This is the start of a kink. Rope should be straightened.
b. Rope was pulled and loop has tightened into a kink. Rope is now permanently damaged and MUST be
replaced.
c. Result of kinking is that each strand pulls a different amount causing strands under greatest tension to
break and reduce load capacity of rope. The rope MUST be replaced. Use only genuine Keeper Winch
replacement part number KWA14520 100’ X 21/64”
Contact: [email protected] to order.
Before each use, check mounting bolts for tightness, inspect rope for damage. Inspect remote control
assembly for any damage. Periodically use a clean, dry towel to remove dirt and debris from winch housing.
Lubrication: The gear box is permanently lubricated. Do not attempt to disassemble the gear box. This will
void your warranty.
Maintenance & Repair
! !
WARNING
install on the new replacement rope. This provides abrasion and heat protection from damaging the synthetic
rope.
2) Conrm that the length of the replacement rope matches the original length supplied with your unit. You
may need to trim it to the correct length.
3) Feed the trailing end of the rope through the hole in the drum and secure with the set screw. You may
want to wrap the trailing end in tape to make inserting it in the hole easier.
4) Run the new rope with the protective sleeve along the length of the drum and begin winding it on the
drum, making sure it feeds along the bottom. You can use a piece of tape to help hold the sleeved section in
place while winding the rst layer in place.
5) Make sure each layer is installed in an even and tight pattern until the full length is installed. Overlapping
layers can cause difculties in free spooling and up take when you need your winch the most.

Ce treuil KEEPER® est équipé d’un moteur à enroulements série de 12 Vcc et est conçu pour UNE UTILISA-
TION GÉNÉRALE INTERMITTENTE. Ce treuil électrique, tout comme la plupart des outils entraînés par moteur
électrique, ne doit pas surchauffer. Arrêter le treuil si le moteur commence à forcer ou si l’extrémité du mo-
teur devient chaude au toucher. Arrêter de treuiller et laisser refroidir le moteur. Les spécications électriques
minimales sont un alternateur de 60 A et une batterie supportant un ADF (Ampérage de démarrage à froid)
minimal de 650 A. Ce treuil (FIGURE 2) n’est pas prévu pour des applications de levage et le fabricant ne ga-
rantit pas qu’il convienne à cet usage. L’embrayage de décrabotage désaccouple le réducteur pour permettre
de dérouler le câble ou la corde sans utiliser la puissance électrique. Une télécommande laire avec 4,57 m
(15 pi) de l et une télécommande sans l permettent une grande variété d’options de montage.

8. PORTER DES GANTS DE CUIR ÉPAIS pour manipuler le câble. NE PAS LAISSER GLISSER LE CÂBLE
DANS LES MAINS QUE L’ON PORTE DES GANTS OU NON. TOUJOURS UTILISER LA COURROIE
PROTÈGE-MAIN pour guider l’enroulement ou le déroulement du câble (Figure 4).
9. NE JAMAIS TREUILLER AVEC MOINS DE 5 TOURS DE CÂBLE AUTOUR DU TAMBOUR DU TREUIL car
l’attache d’embout du câble pourrait NE PAS résister à la pleine charge.
10. SE TENIR À L’ÉCART DU TREUIL, DU CÂBLE EN TENSION ET DU CROCHET LORSQU’ON UTILISE LE
TREUIL. NE JAMAIS MARCHER SUR LE CÂBLE LORSQU’IL EST TENDU.
11. NE JAMAIS ACCROCHER LE CROCHET SUR LE CÂBLE. Cela pourrait l’endommager. Utiliser une
COURROIE DE TREUIL KEEPER 02953, 7,62 cm x 1,83 m (3 po x 6 pi), une sangle, un protège-arbre ou
tout autre accessoire recommandé pour ce type raccordement (Figure 5).
12. NE JAMAIS UTILISER LE TREUIL POUR
SOULEVER OU DÉPLACER DES PERSONNES !
13. CE TREUIL N’EST PAS CONÇU POUR DES
APPLICATIONS DE LEVAGE.
14. ÉVITER UNE TRACTION CONTINUE AVEC DES
ANGLES EXTRÊMES. Cela causerait un empile-
ment du câble et un blocage dans le treuil,
entraînant des dommages au câble ou au treuil
(Figure 6).
1. LIRE ET S’ASSURER DE COMPRENDRE CE MANUEL AVANT D’UTILISER LE TREUIL. Après avoir installé
le treuil, faire quelques essais avant de l’utiliser. NE JAMAIS LAISSER DES PERSONNES UTILISER CE
PRODUIT SANS Y ÊTRE FAMILIARISÉ. TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SÉCURITÉ ET DES
GANTS DE CUIR LORSQU’ON UTILISE CETTE MACHINE.
2. NE PAS DÉPASSER LA CAPACITÉ NOMINALE DU TREUIL. NE PAS SURCHARGER ! NE PAS ESSAYER
DE TIRER DE LOURDES CHARGES SUR UNE
LONGUE DISTANCE ! Les surcharges peuvent
endommager le treuil et/ou le câble et créer
des conditions d’utilisation non sécuritaires.
POUR LES CHARGES DÉPASSANT 75 %
DE LA CAPACITÉ NOMINALE DU TREUIL,
NOUS RECOMMANDONS L’UTILISATION
D’UN MOUFLE AFIN DE DOUBLER LE CÂBLE
(Figure 3). Cela permet de réduire la charge
sur le treuil, la tension sur le câble et sur
l’alimentation électrique.
3. Ne jamais appliquer une charge au treuil lorsque le câble est complétement déroulé. Garder au moins 5
tours sur le tambour du treuil.
4. LE MOTEUR DU VÉHICULE DEVRAIT ÊTRE EN MARCHE PENDANT LE FONCTIONNEMENT DU TREUIL.
Si le treuillage est effectué alors que le moteur est arrêté, la batterie pourrait être trop déchargée pour
redémarrer le moteur.
5. NE PAS faire utiliser le véhicule pour aider le treuil à tirer la charge. La combinaison du treuil et du véhi-
cule tirant ensemble pourrait excéder la capacité du câble et du treuil.
6. PENDANT L’UTILISATION DU TREUIL, TOUJOURS SE TENIR
ÉLOIGNÉ DU CÂBLE, DU CROCHET ET DU TREUIL.
7A. INSPECTER FRÉQUEMMENT LE CÂBLE ET L’ÉQUIPEMENT.
UN CÂBLE EFFILOCHÉ, ENTORTILLÉ OU APLATI DOIT ÊTRE
REMPLACÉ IMMÉDIATEMENT. Vérier périodiquement
l’installation du treuil pour s’assurer que tous les boulons sont
bien serrés.
7B. INSPECTER FRÉQUEMMENT LA CORDE SYNTHÉTIQUE ET
L’ÉQUIPEMENT. UNE CORDE EFFILOCHÉE, ENTORTILLÉE OU
FONDUE DOIT ÊTRE REMPLACÉE IMMÉDIATEMENT. Vérier
périodiquement l’installation du treuil pour s’assurer que tous les
boulons sont bien serrés.

15. NE JAMAIS MASQUER LES ÉTIQUETTES
D’AVERTISSEMENT SUR LE TREUIL.
16. Il est fortement recommandé d’étendre un
tissu épais (tel qu’une couverture ou une bâche)
par-dessus le câble lors de la traction de charges
lourdes (Figure 7). En cas de rupture du câble,
le tissu servira d’amortisseur et contribuera à
empêcher le câble de fouetter. Si le treuil est monté
à l’avant d’un véhicule, ouvrir le capot offre une
protection supplémentaire.
17. Lorsqu’on utilise le treuil, il faut toujours avoir
une vue non obstruée de l’opération de treuillage.
18. Les équipements tels que les crochets, les
moues, les courroies, etc. devraient toujours être
de dimensions adaptées à la capacité du treuil et
être inspectées périodiquement an de détecter
toute altération qui pourrait en réduire la solidité.
19. NE JAMAIS DÉBRAYER LORSQU’IL Y A UNE
CHARGE SUR LE TREUIL.
20. NE JAMAIS TRAVAILLER SUR LE TAMBOUR
DU TREUIL OU AUX ALENTOURS LORSQUE LE
CÂBLE DU TREUIL EST SOUS TENSION.
21. NE PAS FAIRE FONCTIONNER LE TREUIL SOUS INFLUENCE DE MÉDICAMENTS OU D’ALCOOL.
22. TOUJOURS DÉBRANCHER LES FILS D’ALIMENTATION DU TREUIL DE LA BATTERIE AVANT DE
TRAVAILLER SUR LE TAMBOUR DU TREUIL OU AUX ALENTOURS de sorte que le treuil ne puisse être
actionné accidentellement.
23. Lors du déplacement d’une charge, enrouler lentement le surplus de câble jusqu’à ce qu’il soit tendu.
Arrêter, revérier toutes les attaches de treuillage. S’assurer que le crochet est bien en place. Si l’on
utilise une sangle en nylon, vérier la xation à la charge.
24. Lors de l’utilisation d’un treuil monté sur un véhicule pour déplacer une charge, placer la transmission
du véhicule au neutre (jamais en position de stationnement), enclencher le frein à main du véhicule et
caler toutes les roues.
25. NE PAS UTILISER LE TREUIL POUR MAINTENIR DES CHARGES EN PLACE. Utiliser d’autres moyens
pour attacher les charges tels que les sangles d’arrimage de marque KEEPER. Pour des renseignements
sur les sangles d’arrimage, consulter www.keepercorp.com.
26. UTILISER UNIQUEMENT DES INTERRUPTEURS, ADAPTATEURS, COMMANDES À DISTANCE ET AC-
CESSOIRES D’ORIGINE. L’utilisation de composants tiers peut entraîner des blessures ou des dom-
mages aux biens et pourrait annuler la garantie.
27. NE PAS USINER ET NE PAS SOUDER DES PIÈCES DU TREUIL. Une telle altération peut affaiblir
l’intégrité structurelle du treuil et pourrait annuler la garantie.
28. Ceci est un treuil de 12 Vcc. LE RACCORDER UNIQUEMENT À UNE BATTERIE DE 12 VCC. NE PAS RAC-
CORDER LE TREUIL À DU COURANT ALTERNATIF DE 110 V OU 220 V CAR LE TREUIL BRÛLERAIT ET
UNE DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE FATALE POURRAIT SURVENIR. Cela annulerait la garantie.
29. Ne jamais laisser s’appliquer des charges brusques au treuil ou au câble.
30. FAIRE PREUVE D’UNE EXTRÊME PRUDENCE LORS DU TREUILLAGE D’UNE CHARGE SUR UNE RAMPE
OU UN PLAN INCLINÉ.
31. Tenir les personnes, les animaux de compagnie et les biens éloignés d’au moins 24 m (80 pi) du devant,
de l’arrière et des côtés du trajet de treuillage.
32. NE JAMAIS DÉPASSER LA CAPACITÉ NOMINALE DE L’ATTELAGE.
