guidelines outlined in this manual. Keep this manual in a safe place to reference safety and installation
instructions, maintenance guidelines and operating recommendations. The owner, operator, and installer must
read the entire manual before operating the winch.

SAFETY WARNINGS
DRESS PROPERLY DO NOT ABUSE THE WIRE ROPE
• DO NOT wear loose tting clothing or jewelry.
• Tie back long hair.
• Wear leather gloves when handling the wire
rope.
• Wear non-skid footwear during winch operation.
• Wear eye and ear protection during operation.
KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE
• DO NOT step over or under the wire rope.
• All onlookers must keep away from the work
area.
• Never work on or around the winch drum when
the winch is operating.
• DO NOT alter your winch in any way. Alterations
may weaken the structural integrity of the winch
and void your warranty.
• Operate your winch with an unobstructed view.
• Never carry your winch by the wire rope.
• Never yank the wire rope from the winch.
• Keep the wire rope from heat or sharp edges.
• The cable must be spooled from the bottom
of the drum.
DO NOT OVERWORK YOUR WINCH
• DO NOT maintain power if the motor stalls.
• DO NOT exceed maximum line pull ratings.
• DO NOT overload your winch’s pulling capacity.
We recommend the use of a pulley block to
double line the wire rope on heavy loads.

SAFETY WARNINGS (continued)
DO NOT MISUSE YOUR WINCH
• DO NOT lift items vertically. The winch was
designed for horizontal use only.
• DO NOT operate the winch with less than eight
wraps on the drum. The set screw on the drum is
not designed to hold pull force of cable.
• DO NOT use to hold or secure a load. The winch
is not to be used as a tie down.
• Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles.
This will cause the wire rope to jam as it piles
up on one side.
• Use a nylon sling when winching. Hooking
the wire rope to itself will cause considerable
damage to the wire rope.
• DO NOT move your vehicle to assist the winch in
pulling the load. The combination of the winch
and vehicle pulling could overload the wire rope
and winch.
• Never release the free spool clutch when a load
is connected to the winch.
• DO NOT exceed pulling limitations of winch.
• DO NOT shock loads when winching. A shock
load occurs when increased force is suddenly
applied to the wire rope.
• DO NOT use your winch as a hoist.
• DO NOT use your winch to lift, support, or
transport people.
• DO NOT alter the warning instruction labels.
• DO NOT overheat your winch. Use your winch
intermittently.
• Only use your winch for direct winching. Do
not use your winch for jerking loads, towing, or
securing a load. Any damage incurred as a result
of such action will void the warranty.
• DO NOT winch near electrical power lines.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING
• The winch clutch must be disengaged when not
in use and fully engaged when in use.
• Power must be disconnected when not in use.
MAINTAIN YOUR WINCH
• Check your winch carefully before each use.
• Damaged equipment must be properly
repaired or replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized service center.
• Inspect and maintain the wire rope and winch
frequently.
• Replace frayed rope strands immediately.
• Use only factory approved switches, remote
controls, and accessories.
• Check the tightness of the mounting bolts and
electrical connections periodically.
RE-SPOOL THE WIRE ROPE
• Wear leather gloves while re-spooling.
• DO NOT allow the wire rope to thread through
your hand without a glove.
• Keep a slight load on the wire rope while
re-spooling. Hold the wire rope with one gloved
hand and the remote control in the other.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
• Before installation, ensure the mounting frame
in use is capable of withstanding the winch’s
rated capacity.
• Ensure the motor, wire rope, drum, and gear
housing is properly aligned.
• Mount winch to a hard and at surface.
• Winch should be mounted as close to center and
as perpendicular as possible to the direction of
the line pull.
• Wound wire rope in an under-wound orientation
only.
• Use the following high tensile G8 steel bolts:
• PSHV10000: Eight (8) 1/2 - 13 (56 lb/ft)
• PSHV15000: Eight (8) 9/16 - 12 (90 lb/ft)
• PSHV18000: Eight (8) 9/16 - 12 (90 lb/ft)
• PSHDH20000: Eight (8) 5/8 - 11 (159 lb/ft)
• PSHDH30000: Eight (8) 5/8 - 11 (159 lb/ft)
• It is always required to use both tie bars in the
nal installation conguration.
• Mount the roller guide in front of the winch.
Do not attach the roller guide to the winch.
This will void the warranty.
• The cable must be spooled from the bottom
of the drum.
• Do not mount the winch backwards and reinstall
cable to come from bottom. It MUST be installed
as it lays from the factory. (see image to right)
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
• 2x male JIC ttings on the motor (8MJIC)

SPOOLING
WIRE ROPE PREPARATION
NOTE: The rst use of your winch must be a test
run during a non-recovery situation. During this
trial run begin to recognize the sound of a steady
pull, a heavy pull, load jerking or shifting.
• Spool the wire rope.
• Wear leather gloves while spooling. DO NOT
allow the wire rope to thread through your hand
without a glove.
• Unwind the wire rope carefully along the oor
to avoid kinking.
• Step 1 Make sure the winch is facing the proper
way. with the clutch side being the left side of
the winch and the motor side being the right.
(See step 1)
• Step 2 Thread the end of the cable from the
front, UNDER the drum, and up the back side
placing the end of the wire rope in to the hole at
the end of the drum. The wire rope will protrude
½”- 1”. Tighten the set screw to hold the cable in
place.
• Keep a slight load on the wire rope while
spooling. If you are facing it from the front the
drum will spin down TOWARDS you. Spool the
wire rope until the red cable is fully spooled at
approximately ve wraps.
• Under a load of 500 lbs (230 kg) nish spooling
the wire rope. This will stretch the new wire
rope and create a tight wrap around the drum.
• If there is a rope pile-up on one end of the drum,
reverse the winch to relieve the load and move
your anchor point further toward the center of
the load. Then you can re-wind for a neat layer
of the rope.
• Spool the wire rope on to the drum until the
load is recovered. During operation, make sure
the wire rope lays smoothly on to the drum
without spacing or overlapping.

OPERATION
• Apply the parking brake or lock the wheels.
• While the clutch is in the OUT position, spool
the winch cable and connect to an anchor point.
• Check cable rigging before proceeding.
• Plug in the winch remote control.
• Engage the clutch by shifting it into the IN
position. NOTE: When the clutch is engaged,
your load may begin to drift until the remote
is used to recover your load. To ensure safe
operation, it is recommended that winch
operation take place from the driver’s position.
• Start vehicle engine, select neutral or park and
maintain idle engine speed.
• Using the remote control, press IN or OUT until
the vehicle has been retrieved. Regularly check
the winch to ensure the cable is winding onto
the drum evenly. It is recommended you secure
the load using chains or straps at this point.
• Detach the load.
• Re-spool the wire rope after winch operation is
complete.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you regularly use your winch. Simply power the cable out 15 feet, free
spool ve feet and power in. This will keep all components in good condition so that the winch can be ready
when needed. Contact the manufacturer or authorized outlet for technical assistance and repairs.
LUBRICATION
• The gearbox has been lubricated using high
temperature lithium grease at the factory. No
internal lubrication is required.
• Lubricate cable periodically using light
penetrating oil. Inspect for broken or worn
strands and replace if necessary.
SPARE PARTS
• A comprehensive range of spare parts is
available. Please contact the manufacturer,
Pierce Arrow at 940-538-5643 for more
information.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble the gearbox.
Disassembly may void the warranty. Call Pierce
Arrow at 940-538-5643 before repairs are made.
ROPE
• Use aircraft grade cable or approved and rated
synthetic rope.
• The life of the rope is directly related to the use
and care it receives.
• Replace damaged or frayed rope with
manufacturer’s identical replacement part.
• Be sure the rope is in good condition and is
properly attached.
• DO NOT use the winch if the rope is frayed.
• DO NOT replace the cable with a cable of lesser
strength.
• When the rope is replaced, apply Loctite 7471
primer or 222 Threadlocker to the wire rope
clamp to prevent loosening of the screw.
