4. Keep hands clear of the winch and steel cable when spooling the line in
or out. Hold the cable by the strap. Fingers caught in the hook may be
pulled into the mechanism and crushed or pinched.
5. Make sure the winch is fixed to a solid support structure that can
withstand the towing capacity.
6. Never fully extend the cable while under load.
7. Do not exceed the winch load capacity.
a. Do not use the winch if damaged or it was subjected to a dynamic
shock load. Have the winch inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician.
8. Always use proper couplings when connecting the winch cable hook,
sling, eyebolt or other accessory to the load. Never connect the hook
back to the cable. This causes cable damage. Always use a sling or
chain of suitable strength.
9. Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the
winch cable.
10. Do not lift items vertically. The winch was designed for horizontal use
only.
11. Do not pull the steel cable around or over corners.
12. Stay well away from the winch, steel cable and load when under
tension. A cable that breaks under tension can whiplash and inflict
death or a serious injury.
a. Use a winch rope dampener to absorb the cable’s energy should it
break.
13. Secure the load after moving it with the winch. Do not rely on the
winch to hold a load in position for an extended period of time. Never
leave the load unattended.
14. Apply blocks to a vehicle while connecting and disconnecting the
winch cable.
15. Observe the spooling of the cable onto the drum. Side pulls can cause
the cable to pileup at one end of the drum. To correct uneven stacking,
spool out that section of cable and move it to the other end of the
drum and continue winching. Uneven spooling causing cable pileup can
interfere with the winch tie rods causing damage to the winch.
16. Do not use the winch to transport animals or people.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current, increasing
the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and
accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be
compromised if altered.
4. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment (see Specifications).
5. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and
safety codes, as well as the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE)
and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
1. Lead-acid batteries generate oxygen and hydrogen. These gases can be
explosive. Keep batteries well ventilated. Remove any source of
ignition such as an open flame or a tool like a heater from the area.
Sparks may also ignite the gas.
2. Lead batteries contain sulfuric acid, also referred to as electrolyte or
battery acid. The acid is corrosive and can cause a skin burn if leaking
or splashed. The acid may also pose a threat if inhaled or ingested
accidentally. The acid can destroy normal clothing and injure the flesh
underneath. Wear splash-proof goggles and protective clothing when
handling a battery.
3. Batteries are heavy due to the weight of the lead and liquid contained
inside. A lead-acid battery could weigh upwards of 50-60 lbs. Use safe
lifting methods if moving the battery.
UNPACKING
WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the
missing part before operating. Failure to do so could result in a malfunction

OPERATION
WARNING! Do not release the clutch while the winch is pulling a load. It may
cause the load to shift or move unexpectedly and the wire may snap with
the unexpected stress. Either may cause death or severe injury to the user
or bystanders.
BEFORE FIRST USE
The steel cable must be broken-in before using to pull a heavy load. The
break-in process will stretch the cable, ensure the individual wires are
seated and the wire compacted. Run the winch with a light load of
approximately 500 lb several times, before normal use.
Also use the weight when spooling the cable onto the winch. This will
provide the correct tension when spooling.
OPERATION
1. Make sure the operator can safely control the winch before performing
any functions with it and that they are familiar with all safety and
operating instructions.
2. Inspect the winch, steel cable and terminal tackle before each use. Replace
any damaged or frayed components before use.
3. Connect the winch to a 12VDC power supply
(see Wiring).
4. Turn the clutch hand wheel (E) clockwise a
quarter turn to disengage the brake (Fig. 3).
5. Pull out the cable by the hook strap (H) until
you have the desired length out.
a. Make sure there is always five turns of
cable on the winch drum.
6. Attach the steel cable to the load with a
hook, shackle, sling or chain capable of
Fig. 3

withstanding the strain from winching the load. Make sure the
terminal tackle is secure to avoid an unintended disconnection while
winching.
a. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual for anchor points to connect
the steel cable’s terminal tackle.
7. Re-engage the clutch by twisting the clutch hand wheel counterclockwise
until it locks in place.
8. Check that the line is straight without kinks or twisted. Do not wrap
the steel cable around the load or wind it around corners or obstacles.
9. Place a dampening device on the steel cable if you have one available.
10. Uncap the remote receiver and plug the tethered remote into it.
11. Press and hold the remote control’s retract button (IN) until the slack is
removed from the steel cable.

final wraps by hand.
16. Disconnect from the power supply once the hook reaches the winch.
17. Disconnect and store the tethered remote control out of the way. Cap
the receiver.
WINCHING LIMITATIONS
There are several limitations that can affect the time duration, power
consumption and maximum weight a winch can move. A snatch block will
improve the winch’s performance. Make sure to follow all safety and
operation instructions from the snatch block’s manufacturer.

V1.0 12V DC Winch 8964793
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 11
POWER
The maximum load the winch can
pull is diminished with each
additional layer of steel cable
around the winch’s drum. Table 1
shows the maximum amount of
weight it can pull and the length of
cable remaining on the drum.
Whenever possible, remove as much
steel cable off the winch to pull with
the maximum power. Keep five
wraps of steel cable on the drum at all times to prevent the steel cable from
slipping off.
Use a snatch block to move a heavier load that is close to the winch. This will
double the amount of line outside the winch and increase the winch’s pulling
power at close range.
LINE SPEED
The heavier the load, the longer it
will take the winch to move the load
to the desired location. Consult
Table 2 to determine how fast the
line will be drawn into the winch.
The winch requires more amps to
move a heavier load. Consult Table 2
to determine the amperage
consumption based on the load’s
weight. A snatch block will halve the
line speed when pulling the load.
POWER CONSUMPTION
A snatch block increases a winch’s pulling power without an increase in
amperage. Using a snatch block can halve the power required.
OPERATION ANGLES
The winch is the most efficient when towing in a straight line. However,
sometimes that is not possible. Change the angle using the fairlead or a pulley
when necessary.
The winch can retrieve or release the steel cable up to a:
• 15 degree vertical angle above or below the centerline.
