SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning! Observe safety precautions for personal safety and the safety of others.
Improper equipment operation may cause personal injury and equipment damage.
Read the following carefully before attempting to operate your winch and keep the
instructions for future reference.
1. Dress Properly:
• Don’t wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts.
• Wear leather gloves when handling winch rope.
Do not handle rope with bare hands as it can cause injuries.
• Non-skid footwear is recommended,
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
2. Keep a Safe Distance:
• Ensure that all persons stand well clear of winch rope and load during winch operation,
1.5 times the rope length recommended. If a rope breaks under load it can lash back
and cause serious personal injury or death.
• Don’t step over the rope.
• All visitors and onlookers should be kept away from the work area.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
3. Don’t Abuse the Cord:
• Never carry your winch by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle.
• Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
4. Don’t Overwork the winch:
• If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop and let it cool for 15 minutes.
• Don’t maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
• Don’t exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in tables. Shock loads must not exceed these ratings.
5. Avoid Unintentional Starting:
• Winch clutch should be disengaged when not in use and fully engaged when in use.
6. Check Damaged Parts:
• Before using, you should check your winch carefully. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre.
7. Repair Your Winch:
• When repairing use only identical replacement parts or it may cause considerable danger for the user.
8. Respool the Cable:
• Leather gloves must be worn while respooling. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep a slight
load on the rope. Hold the rope with one hand and the remote control switch with the other. Start as
far back and in the centre as you can. Keep at least 150kg on the rope as the winch is powered in.
Winching on a flat surface is one method. Winching until all the cable except 1m is in.
• Disconnect the remote control switch and finish spooling in cable by rotating the drum by hand with
clutch disengaged.
• On hidden winches, spool in cable under power but keep hands clear.
Warning: The use of any other accessory or attachment other than those recommended in the
instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.

WINCH OPERATION WARNINGS
Read the following carefully before attempting to operate your winch and keep the
instructions for future reference.
• The uneven spooling of rope, while pulling a load, is not a problem, unless there is a rope pile up on
one section of the drum which can damage the winch. If this happens reverse the winch to relieve the
load and move your anchor point further to the centre of the vehicle. After the job is done you can
unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the rope.
• Store the remote control switch inside your vehicle where it will not become damaged, inspect it
before you plug it in.
• When ready to begin spooling in, plug in remote control switch with clutch disengaged, do not
engage clutch with motor running.
• Never connect the hook back to the rope. This causes rope damage.
Always use a sling of suitable strength.
• Observe your winch while winching, if possible while standing at a safe distance. Stop the winching
process every metre or so to assure the rope is not pulling up in one corner. Jamming the rope can
break your winch.
• Do not attach tow hooks to winch mounting apparatus. They must be attached to vehicle frame.
• The use of a snatch block will aid recovery operations by providing a doubling of the winch capacity
and a halving of the winching speed, and the means to maintain a direct line pull to the centre of the
fairlead. When using a double line pull loading during stationary winching, the winch hook should be
attached to the chassis of the vehicle. It is recommended to use a snatch block double line pull when
loads exceed 70% of the winch rating.
• Ensure rated bow shackles are used in conjunction with an approved tree trunk protector to
provide a safe anchor point.
• When extending winch rope, ensure that at least 8 wraps of rope remain on drum at all times. Failure
to do this could result in the rope parting from the drum under load. Serious personal injury or
property damage may result.
• Since the greatest pulling power is achieved on the innermost layer of your winch, it is desirable to
pull off as much line as you can for heavy pulls (you must leave at least 8 wraps minimum on the
drum). If this is not practical use a snatch block and double line arrangement.
• Draping a heavy blanket or similar object over the extended winch rope is recommended as it helps
dampen any back lash should a failure occur.
• Neat, tight spooling avoids rope binding, which is caused when a load is applied and the rope is
pinched between the others. If this happens, alternatively power the winch in and out. Do not attempt
to work a bound rope under load, free by hand when unloaded.
• Apply blocks to wheels when vehicles are on an incline.

WINCH OPERATION WARNINGS (cont.)
Battery:
• Be sure that the battery is in good condition. Avoid contact with battery acid or other contaminants.
• Always wear eye protection when working around a battery.
• Have the engine running when using the winch, to avoid flattening the battery. Use a minimum
650CCA battery.
Winch Rope:
• Be sure that the rope is in good condition and is attached properly. Check rope for wear or damage
after each use. If worn or damaged it must be replaced.
• Do not use the winch if rope is frayed or damaged.
• The life of the rope is directly related to the use and care it receives. It must be wound on to the
drum under a load at approx. (150kg) or the outer wraps will draw into the inner wraps and severely
damage the rope during winching. The first winch use should be a familiarization run while in a
relaxed, non-recovery situation. Spool out the rope until 8 wraps left on the drum, then rewind the
rope on to the drum under a load of (150kg) or more. This will slightly tension and stretch the new
rope and create a tight rope wrap around the drum. Failure to do so may result in rope damage and
reduced rope life.
• When the rope is replaced, be sure to apply Loctite, or an equal compound, to the rope clamp thread.
Tighten the clamp screw properly but do not over tighten. The Loctite will help prevent loosening of
the screw in arduous conditions.
• Inspect the rope after each use. If the rope becomes worn or damaged it must be replaced.
Loctite 7471 Primer and 222 Thread locker are recommended.
• DO NOT attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
• DO NOT drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way. Vehicle movement in combination with
winch operation may overload the rope, the winch itself or cause damaging shock loads.
• Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an increased force is suddenly
applied to the rope. A vehicle rolling back on a slack rope may induce a damaging shock load.
• The winches shown in this manual are solely for vehicle and boat mounted,
non-industrial applications.
• Do not use winch in hoisting or lifting applications.
• Do not use the winch to lift, support or otherwise transport people.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING YOUR WINCH:
• The winch is to be mounted into a suitable steel mounting frame using the 4 point foot mounting
system in either a horizontal or vertical plane.
• Before commencing installation ensure the mounting facility being used is capable of withstanding
the winch’s rated capacity.
• The fitment of winches and/or a frontal protection system may affect the triggering of SRS air bags.
Check that the mounting system has been tested and approved for winch fitment in the airbag
equipped vehicle.
• Winch mounting frames and/or Frontal Protection Systems are suggested to suit most popular
vehicles. A thickness of 5mm is recommended for the mounting plate. Winch frames are packaged
with detailed fitting instructions.
• The winch should be secured to the mounting with the 3/8”UNC x 1-1/4” Dacromet coated bolts
and spring washers provided (at least grade 8.8).
• The fairlead is to be mounted so as to guide the rope onto the drum evenly.
LUBRICATION INSTALLATION
All moving parts in the winch are lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of assembly.
Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice.
ROPE INSTALLATION
Unwind the new rope by rolling it along the ground, to prevent kinking. Remove old rope and observe the
manner in which it is attached to the drum flange.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Pay close attention to proper electrical cable connection as follows (refer to Diagram1)
• Short red cable (B’) connecting to the red terminal (B) of the motor.
• Short black cable with yellow jacket (C’) connecting to the yellow terminal (C) of the motor.
• Short black cable with black jacket (D’) connecting to the black terminal (D) of the motor.
• Thin black cable(a’) connecting to terminal (A) of the motor.
• Long black cable (1.8m), one terminal (A’) connecting to the bottom terminal (A) of the motor,
and the other terminal negative (-) connecting to negative (-) terminal of battery.
• Long red cable positive (+) connecting to positive (+) terminal of battery.

NOTE:
• Your battery must be kept in good condition.
• Be sure battery cables are not drawn taught across any surfaces, which could possibly damage them.
• Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.
• Clean all connections especially in remote control switch and receptacle.
• In salty environments use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion.
• Check electrical cables and connections after each use.

WINCH OPERATION
SUGGESTION:
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before
you actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well
as you can see it operate.
Get to recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load
jerking or shifting. Soon you will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will
become second nature to you.
CONTROL BOX
Ensure the control box components are cleaned inside after exposure to mud and dirty water.
WINCH MAINTENANCE
We recommend at least once a month to operate your winch.
If operating your winch in an environment where it may get wet, we recommend that you re-run
your winch at the end of the day.
The Domin8r X motor has twin lip seals which are very efficient at preventing water ingress into the
motor but are not guaranteed to be 100% waterproof. Water is unlikely to damage the motor at the
point of use but will over time if the winch is not properly maintained.

OPERATING:
• Ensure the vehicle is secure by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels
• Pull out the winch rope the desired length and connect to an anchor point.
• Disengaging the winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling of the rope for hooking onto the load or anchor point.
• The shifter tab located on the gear housing of the winch operates the clutch as follows:
• To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the “FREESPOOL” position. Rope could be
free spooled off the drum.
• To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “ENGAGED” position.
The winch is now ready for pulling.
• Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding.
• Plug in the winch hand control. It is recommended that the winching operation takes place from the
driver’s position to ensure safe operation.
• To commence winching operation, start vehicle engine, select neutral in transmission, maintain
engine speed at idle.
• Operate the hand control or the wireless remote control until the vehicle has been retrieved.
• Regularly check the winch to ensure rope is winding onto the drum evenly.
• Always use a winch cable blanket to minimise rope recoil.
NOTE:
• Never winch with your vehicle in gear or in park, which would damage your vehicle’s transmission.
• Never wrap the rope around the object and hook onto the rope itself. This can cause damage to the
object being pulled, and kink or fray the rope.
• Keep hands, clothing, hair and jewellery clear of the drum area and rope when winching.
• Never use the winch if the rope is frayed, kinked or damaged.
• Never allow anyone to stand near the rope or in line with the rope behind the winch while it is under
power. If the rope should slip or brake, it can suddenly whip back towards the winch, causing a
hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching.
• Don’t leave the switch plugged in when winch is not in use.
CHECK THE WINCH CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING!
MAINTENANCE
It is highly recommended that the winch be used regularly (once a month). Simply power the rope
out 15m, free spool 5m and then power back in. This helps keep all components in good working
condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed. Contact your authorized outlet for technical
assistance and repairs.
SPARE PARTS:
A comprehensive range of spare parts is available. Please kindly contact the distributor or the local retailer.
WINCHING CAPACITY
• Pulling capacity is reduced as the incline increases.
• Winch is not intended as a load securing device.
NOTE:
The safety precautions and instructions discussed in this manual can’t cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors, which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied by the operator.
