KNOW YOUR WINCH
Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with your WARN® winch and each of its
components:
Motor: The winch motor is powered by the vehicle’s battery. The motor provides power
to the gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the winch rope.
Winch Drum: The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The drum
is driven by the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed using the
remote control.
Winch Rope: The winch rope’s diameter and length are determined by the winch’s load
capacity and design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through the
fairlead, the winch rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s clevis pin.
Synthetic winch rope is constructed of a unique ultra high molecular weight
polyethylene material and oers tremendous tensile strength. It is coated with a
high temperature urethane and equipped with a temperature resistant sleeve on
the rst layer for added protection. The synthetic rope’s high exibility and low
weight make it much easier to handle out in the eld.
Clutch Lever: The clutch allows the operator to manually disengage the spooling drum from
the gear train, enabling the drum to rotate freely (known as “freespooling”).
Engaging the clutch “locks” the winch drum back onto the gear train.
Contactor: Using electrical power from the vehicle’s battery, the contactor switches power
to the motor, enabling the operator to change the direction of the winch drum
rotation. * The AXON winch contactor is integrated with the winch motor.
Remote Socket
(AXON winch): The remote socket is where the operator plugs in the wired remote control in
order to control the winch.

FIRST TIME OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not leave the remote plugged into the
winch when not in use. Leaving the remote
plugged in, may result in accidental activation
and/or battery drain.
Clutch Operation:
WARNING
Never engage or disengage clutch if winch
is under load, winch rope is in tension or drum is moving.
NOTICE
Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or
disengaged when operating winch.
The clutch lever is located on the winch
housing opposite the motor and controls the
clutch position. To prevent damage, always
fully engage or fully disengage the clutch lever.
When the clutch is engaged, the gear train is
coupled to the winch drum and power can be
transferred from the winch motor.
When the clutch is disengaged the drum is
in the freespool position and the gear train and
winch rope drum are uncoupled allowing the
drum to rotate freely.
Spooling Out
WARNING
Never operate winch with less than 5
wraps of winch rope around the drum. Rope could come
loose from the drum.
WARNING Always keep hands clear of
winch rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead
opening during installation, operation,
and when spooling in or out.
WARNING
Always wear heavy gloves when
handling winch rope.
Step 3: System Check
WARNING
Always connect red (+) power cable ONLY to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
WARNING
Always connect black ground (-) power cable
ONLY to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Perform system check:
1. Check fasteners and make sure they are
tight and to proper torque.
2. Verify all electrical wiring to all components
is correct and be certain that all connections
are tight.
3. Verify there is no exposed/bare wiring,
terminals or cable insulation damage.
4. Read The Basic Guide to Winching
Techniques completely before operating
your winch (www.warn.com).
Once you have performed a system check,
you are ready to perform “First Time Operating
Instructions”.
Step 4: First Time Operating
Instructions
In this section, we’ll show you the first
time operating instructions for effective basic
winching. For complete winch operation and
techniques read the Basic Guide to Winching
Techniques found online at www.warn.com.
WARNING
Never use winch as a hoist or
to suspend a load.
WARNING
Never use winch to lift or
move persons.
Remote Control:
WARNING
Always keep wired remote control lead
and power cord clear of the drum, rope, and rigging.
Inspect for cracks, pinches, frayed wires or loose
connections. Damaged components must be replaced
before operation.
WARNING
Never leave remote control where it can
be unintentionally activated.
WARNING
Never leave the winch remote control
plugged in when installing, freespooling, rigging,

FIRST TIME OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Freespooling is generally the quickest and
easiest way to spool out winch rope. Before
freespooling winch rope out from the winch
power-out enough rope to remove any tension
on the winch rope. Disengage the clutch. Then
manually spool out enough winch rope for the
winching operation. See The Basic Guide to
Winching Techniques for more information,
found online at: www.warn.com.
NOTICE
Do NOT power out more than 30ft without
allowing the winch to cool for 20 minutes before powering
rope back in. Instead, place the clutch in freespool and pull
the rope out by hand.
WARNING
Always use supplied hook
strap whenever spooling winch rope in or out.
Spooling In Under Load
WARNING
Never exceed winch or winch rope rated
capacity.
WARNING
Always know the Working Load Limit
(WLL) of your rope.
WARNING
Never exceed the WLL of rope or shock
load this rope.
Power-in the winch rope evenly and tightly on
the drum. This prevents the outer winch wraps
from sinking into the inner wraps, binding, and
damaging the winch rope.
Avoid shock loads when spooling by pulsing
the control switch to take up winch rope slack.
Shock loads can momentarily far exceed the
winch and rope ratings.
Spooling In Under No Load
WARNING
Never touch winch rope or hook while
someone else is at the control switch, when winch rope
is under load or during winching operation.
Spooling with an Assistant: Have the assistant
hold the hook strap putting as much constant
tension on the winch rope as possible. While
keeping tension, the assistant should walk
toward the winch while you operate the control
switch spooling in the winch rope. Release the
switch when the hook is a minimum of 6 ft. (2m)
from the fairlead opening.
Spool in the remainder for storage as
directed below.
Spooling Alone: Arrange the winch rope to
be spooled so it will not kink or tangle when
spooled. Be sure any winch rope on the drum is
tightly and evenly layered. Spool enough winch
rope to complete the next full layer on the
drum. Tighten and straighten the layer. Repeat
process until the hook is a minimum of 6 ft. (2
m) from the fairlead opening.
Spooling Remainder for Storage
When the hook is within 6 ft. (2 m) of the
fairlead, disconnect the hook from the anchor
or load. Hold onto the supplied hook strap and
hold tension on the winch rope. Slowly power-
in the winch by “pulsing”the power-in switch on
the remote control until the hook is within 3 ft.
(1 m) of the fairlead.
Stop winching in and attach the hook to a
suitable anchor point on the vehicle.
NOTICE
Do not power the hook into the fairlead. This
could cause damage to the fairlead.
Once the hook is suitably attached to the
vehicle, power-in the remaining slack in the
winch rope by “pulsing” the power-in switch on
the remote control until there is minimal slack
in the winch rope.
Overloading/Overheating
WARNING
Always be aware of possible hot surfaces
at winch motor, drum or rope during or after winch use.
This winch is rated for intermittent duty.
When the motor approaches stall speed very
rapid heat buildup occurs which may cause
motor damage.
Double-line rigging (see The Basic Guide
to Winching Techniques) will reduce the
amperage draw and reduce heat buildup in the
motor. This allows longer continual use.
Load Limiter (AXON Winches)
WARNING
Never engage or disengage clutch if
winch is under load, winch rope is in tension or drum is
moving.
WARNING
Never touch winch rope or hook while
under tension or under load.
Exceeding the AXON winch capacity
will cause the load limiter to trip, which

WARN INDUSTRIES
11
FIRST TIME OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
interrupts the power to the motor. This
prevents overheating and potential motor
damage. At 50% of pulling capacity, the
remote indicator turns yellow. At 75%
of pulling capacity, the remote indicator
turns orange. At 90% of pulling capacity
the remote indicator turns red. When the
pulling capacity is exceeded the load limiter
will cause the remote indicator to ash red
and the AXON motor to stop. When this
occurs, release the load by spooling out.
Once the load limiter has tripped, the winch
cannot be spooled in until the load limiter
is reset by spooling out. Do not attempt
to apply the same load if the load limiter
has tripped, as this can damage the winch.
If the load limiter fails to reset contact an
authorized service center.
If the load limiter continues to trip, perform
the following actions:
1. Reduce the weight of the load.
2. Increase the distance of the anchor
point. The maximum pulling capacity
occurs from the rst layer of winch
rope on the drum. By increasing the
distance between the winch and the
anchor point, it decreases the layers
of winch rope on the drum, therefore
increasing the pulling power.
STRETCHING WINCH ROPE
WARNING
Always prestretch rope and respool under
load before use.
WARNING
Always inspect winch rope, hook, and
slings before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or
damaged winch rope must be replaced immediately.
Damaged components must be replaced before
operation. Protect parts from damage.
Stretching (tensioning) the winch rope
is critical to ensure a long product life.
Tensioning the winch rope will prevent outer
layers of winch rope from pinching and
deforming the inner layers.
During its first use, a new winch rope must
be spooled onto its drum under a load of at
least 500 lbs. (226 kgs).
Use the following instructions to properly
stretch the winch rope onto the winch drum.
WARNING
Always wear heavy gloves when handling
winch rope.
1. Choose a FLAT AND LEVEL location that is
large enough to run out almost the entire
length of winch rope.
2. Disengage clutch.
WARNING
Always keep hands clear of winch
rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead opening during
installation, operation, and when spooling in or out.
3. Grasp hook strap and spool out the winch
rope to the last 5 wraps on the drum.
4. Be sure to check that the winch rope is
winding off of the bottom of the drum or
the automatic load holding brake will not
function properly. NOTE: If the winch rope
is winding off the top of the drum, you have
powered the winch “out” instead of “in”. Be
sure you are powering in.
WARNING
Always wind the winch rope on
bottom (mountside) of drum.
NOTICE
For proper function of the winch
brake, the winch rope must be spooled onto the drum in
the specied direction. *See drum rotation label located
on winch.
5. Once the winch rope is spooled out,
engage clutch.
WARNING
Always ensure hook latch is
closed.
WARNING
Always apply load only to the center of
hook.
WARNING
Never apply load to hook tip or use hook
that is bent or twisted.
6. Attach the hook end of the rope to a
suitable anchor point.
WARNING
Always remove any obstacle that may
interfere with safe operation of the winch.
WARNING
Never wrap winch rope back
onto itself. Use a chain or strap on the anchor.
WARNING
Always be certain the anchor you select will
withstand the load and the strap or chain will not slip.
7. Return to your vehicle.
8. Back the vehicle away from the anchor
point until there is very little slack in the
winch rope.
WARN INDUSTRIES
12
FIRST TIME OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Set the parking brake, place the vehicle in
gear or park and turn the vehicle off.
WARNING
Always stand clear of winch rope and
load and keep others away while winching.
10. Exit vehicle. WARNING! Never exit the vehicle
with a load on the winch rope. While standing
approximately 8 ft. (2.44 m) away from the
winch, power-in the winch until all of the
slack is wound onto the winch drum.
WARNING
Never touch winch rope or hook while
someone else is at the control switch, when winch rope
is under load or during winching operation.
WARNING
Never let winch rope slip through your
hands.
11. With gloves on, hold tension on the winch
rope with one hand, carefully push the
winch rope to the side of the drum the
winch rope is attached to so there are no
gaps between each coil on the drum.
12. The following steps should be done using
two people for proper safety. If you attempt
to tension your winch rope alone be sure
to always set the parking brake, place the
transmission in gear or park and turn the
vehicle off every time you exit the vehicle
to inspect the winch rope.
NOTICE
Use care to
evenly wrap each layer to prevent damage to the rope.
WARNING
Never use remote when vehicle is not in
line of sight of operator.
13. The driver of the vehicle should operate the
winch.
14. Instruct your assistant to stand to the side
of the vehicle and away from the winch
rope. NOTE: Your assistant should signal
you if the winch rope is winding correctly or
incorrectly by watching it move across the
fairlead as the winch rope is powered in.
15. Start the vehicle and place the transmission
in neutral. Then release the parking brake
while applying moderate brake pedal
pressure.
16. Power-in the winch rope to start winching in.
17. After winching in for approximately 6 ft.
(2m), stop winching.
18. Slowly let up off of the brake pedal and
then apply the parking brake. This will
ensure that there is no load on the winch
rope.
19. Place the transmission in park or in gear
and turn the vehicle off.
20 Exit the vehicle and inspect the winch to
make sure that the winch rope is being
evenly wound onto the winch drum and
not sinking into the lower layer. If the winch
rope is sinking, power-out the winch rope
by pushing the power-out button on the
remote control and repeat this step from
the beginning with more brake pedal
pressure.
21. When you are convinced the winch rope
is winding onto the winch drum properly,
repeat steps until the vehicle is within 6 ft.
(2 m) of the winch anchor. Once within 6 ft.
(2 m), slowly let up off of the brake pedal
and then apply the parking brake. This will
ensure that there is no load on the winch
rope. Then place the transmission in park or
in gear and turn the vehicle off.
22. Exit the vehicle. Disconnect the hook from
the anchor.
23. While holding onto the supplied hook
strap, hold tension on the winch rope and
slowly power-in the winch by “pulsing” the
power-in button on your remote control
until the hook is within 3 ft. (1 m) of the
fairlead.
24. Stop winching in and attach the hook to a
suitable storage point on the vehicle.
25. Once the hook is suitably attached to the
vehicle, power-in the remaining slack in
the winch rope by “pulsing” the power-in
button on your remote control until there is
minimal slack in the winch rope.
NOTICE
Do not power the hook into the fairlead. This
could cause damage to the fairlead.

SYNTHETIC ROPE CARE
Synthetic Rope Care:
Cleaning:
• Use low pressure water to clean synthetic
rope. Do not use any chemicals.
• Do not direct high pressure water (pressure
washers, car washes, etc.) directly between
the drum support and drum flange or
clutch lever.
• Use low pressure water and a soapy rag or
sponge to clean the winch.
• Avoid using chemicals that may damage
the finish.
• Thoroughly clean salt residue from the
winch as soon as possible to minimize
corrosion.
Rope Inspection:
WARNING
Always inspect winch rope, hook, and
slings before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or
damaged winch rope must be replaced immediately.
Damaged components must be replaced before
operation. Protect parts from damage.
When rope is first used, the outer filaments
of the rope will quickly fuzz up. This is the
result of these filaments breaking and this
roughened surface will actually protect
the fibers underneath. The condition
should stabilize, not progress. If the surface
roughness increases, excessive abrasion is
taking place and strength is being lost.
Look closely at both the inner and outer
fibers. When either is worn the rope is
obviously weakened. Open the strands and
look for powdered fiber—this is a sign of
internal wear.
Localized discolorations could potentially
represent chemical attack by anything from
gear oil to battery acid. When doubt exists,
replace the rope.
Rope should be replaced when:
• Rope bulk anywhere along the length is
reduced by 10% or more by abrasion.
• Two or more adjacent strands are cut.
• Flat areas or lumps are found that are not
eliminated by flexing rope.
• Excessive fused or melted fibers are found.
Any such areas will be stiff and the rope will
have a glazed appearance.
• Rope with original bulk.
• Rope displaying 25% strand volume
reduction from abrasion—rope
should be replaced.
• Rope strand showing full volume.
• Rope strand reduced by 25%
abrasion—rope should be replaced.
• Rope exhibits ber-set from
compression. A slight sheen is
visible.This is not a permanent
characteristic and can be eliminated
by exing the rope.
• Rope displays two adjacent cut
strands—rope should be replaced.

This warranty does not apply if the Product has been damaged by accident, abuse, misuse,
collision, overloading, modication, misapplication, improper installation, or improper

SUCH DAMAGES.
