Controls and Features
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.
Motor (1): 1.22 HP 12V DC motor provides power
to the planetary gear mechanism.
Winch Drum (2): The winch drum is the cylinder
on which the cable is stored. It can feed or wind
the rope depending on the remote winch switch.
Synthetic Cable (3): 15/64” x 50’ Synthetic cable
designed specically for load capacity of 7,000lbs.
(47 useable feet with ve wraps on the drum). The
synthetic rope feeds onto the drum in the “under
wind” position through the roller fairlead (4) and
is looped at the end to accept the clevis hook pin
(12).
Roller Fairlead (4): When using the winch at an
angle the roller fairlead acts to guide the synthetic
rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the
synthetic rope from abrasion on the winch mount
or bumper.
Free spooling Clutch (5): The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“RELEASE”) the
spooling drum from the gear train. Engaging the
clutch (“ENGAGE”) locks the winch into the gear
system.
Braking System (6): Braking action is
automatically applied to the winch drum when the
winch motor is stopped and there is a load on the
synthetic rope.
Planetary Gear System (7): The reduction gears
convert the winch motor power into extreme
pulling forces. This system allows high torque
while maintaining compact size and light weight.
UTV Dash Mounted Rocker Switch (8): Dash
mounted switch for easy access with a premium
look and quality.
Hand Held Switch (9): Hand held switch with a
remote socket for powering the rope in or out of
your winch drum.
Fairlead Mount (10): Adapter to mount the winch
and fairlead for utility applications.
Contactor (11): Power from the vehicle battery
ows through the weather sealed solenoid switch
before being directed to the winch motor.
Clevis Hook (12): Provides a means for
connecting the looped ends of cables to an
anchor.
Cable Hook Stopper (13): Protects the Rollers,
motor and gears

Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 17 ft. lbs.
Before you start to install this winch,
disconnect the vehicle ground and positive
leads from the battery.
This KFI 5,000 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
ATV’s and UTV’s. You can nd most of the
ATV/UTV winch mounts on our Website
www.kproducts.com
1. Install the winch and fairlead with the
supplied hardware per the instructions
provided with the model specic mounting
kit or prepare a at, secure mounting
location for the winch.
Step 2-Mount the Contactor
1. Find a location for the contactor. If the
Model specic mounting kit does not indicate
a recommended contactor location, then
it is recommended that the contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean dry
location. Make sure the location you chose
allows sufcient clearance from all metal
components. Drill mounting holes if required.
Once location is found do not install until all
wiring is completed.
Step 3-UTV Dash Mounted
Rocker Switch Kit
1. Most UTV’s and SxS’s have predened
switch locations that are pre-scribed or
marked for mounting and require nish cut
with a knife.
2. Use the cut-out dimensions shown below
to cut-out the switch location If your dash
doesn’t have the pre-scribed areas
3. Once your switch is mounted you can route
the wires back to where your contactor is
located.
4. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the
supplied wire splice. 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.

Your winch is equipped with a roller fairlead to help
guide the synthetic cable and to reduce binding on
short side pulls�
Do not winch from an acute angle as the cable will
pile up on one side of the drum causing damage to
cable and the winch�
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten
the vehicle� Long pulls should be done with the
cable straight out from the winch/vehicle�
When pulling a heavy load, place a cable hook
stopper, blanket or jacket over the cable five or six
feet from the hook�
In the event of a cable snap it will dampen the snap
back� For additional protection open the hood of the
vehicle�
General Tips for Safe Operation
Your AS-50wx winch is rated at 5,000 lbs. capacity
in rst layer (max) when spooling the rst rope
layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the
winch, motor and/or cable.
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 cable and equipment before each use.
A frayed or damaged rope should be replaced
immediately. Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement rope with the exact specications.
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 specied by
the vehicle manufacturer.
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the
manufacturer are to be used.
Operation
Self Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree
trunk or boulder. Always use a sling or tree saver
as an anchor point.

AS-50wx
Operation
Winching Techniques
1. Take time to assess your situation and plan
your pull.
2. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
3. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling
and also save battery power.
4. Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook.
5. Pull out the synthetic cable to your desired
anchor point using the hook strap.
6. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point:
Sling, chain or snatch block. Do not attach
the hook back onto the synthetic cable.
7. Engage the clutch.
8. Start your engine to ensure power is being
replenished to the battery.
9. Power in the synthetic cable guiding the
cable under tension to draw up the slack in
the cable. Once the cable is under tension,
stand clear. Never step over the cable.
10. Double check your anchors and make sure
all connections are secure.
11. Inspect the synthetic cable. Make sure there
are at least 5 wraps of cable around the
winch drum.
12. Place cable hook stopper over the synthetic
cable approximately 5 to 6 feet from the
hook.
13. Clear the area. Make sure all spectators
stand clear and that no one is directly in
front or behind the vehicle or anchor point.
14. Begin winching. Be sure that the cable
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 under tension.
15. The vehicle to be winched should be placed
in neutral and the parking brake released.
Only release the loads to the winch. This
can damage the winch, synthetic cable and
vehicle.
16. 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.
17. The winching operation is complete once
the vehicle is on stable ground and is able
to drive under its own power.
18. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the
brakes and place the vehicle in park.
19. Release the tension on the cable. The winch
is not meant to hold the vehicle for long
periods of time.
20. Disconnect the synthetic cable from the
anchor.
21. Rewind the synthetic cable. Make sure that
any cable already on the drum has spooled
tightly and neatly. If not, draw out the cable
and re-spool from the point where the cable
is tight.
22. Keep your hands clear of the winch drum
and fairlead as the synthetic cable is being
drawn in.
23. Secure the hook and hook strap.
24. Disconnect the remote control and store in a
clean, dry place.
25. Clean and inspect connections and mount-
ing hardware for next winching operation.
26. Never use the winch as a tie down.
27. Use brake pedal when under full tension.

WARNING
PLOWING ALERT
READ BEFORE USING YOUR WINCH TO LIFT A PLOW
ATV winches are one of the most widely used methods of lifting a plow. When used properly they are
a perfect match to any plow system but proper precautions and correct usage are required to prevent
costly damage.
When lifting a plow using a winch it is very important to stop the plow before its full lift height is reached.
Failure to do so will cause the winch to pull against itself and can, and most likely will, cause damage to
the winch, your plow frame and your ATV.
Please remember that winch damage such as stripped gears, broken housings and bent and damaged
parts caused by exceeding your plows lift height, are not covered by warranty.
Special precautions should be taken when backing up or other instances where you may be distracted
and forget your nger is still on the power-in switch.
A little practice and common sense will ensure a trouble free plow season and prolong the life of your
equipment.
