INTERMITTENT DUTY
ATW4500 is like any other motor driver power tools such as an electric drill or saw. The electric motor should not be
allowed to become excessively hot. Normally precautions will extend the life of your motor. Keep the duration of pulls as
short as possible. If the end of the motor becomes uncomfortable hot to touch, stop winching and allow the motor to cool
down.
If the winch motor stalls, do not continue to apply power to the winch.
GERNERAL SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS
ATW4500 is a powerful machine. Treat it with respect, use it with caution and always follow the safety guidelines.
The wire rope or synthetic rope before the winch stalls. For heavy loads, use a pulley block to reduce
the load on the wire rope.
1. Maximum working load capacity is on the rst layer closest to the drum is around 4500lbs (2040kgs). Do not overload.
Do not attempt prolonged pulls at heavy loads. Overloads can damage the winch and/or the wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions. For loads over 1,000 pounds we recommend the use of a pulley block to double line the wire rope.
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the wire rope by approximately 50%. Attach hook to load bearing
parts. The vehicle engine should be running during winch operation. If considerable winching is performed with the
engine of, the battery may become too weak to re-start the engine.

2. After reading and understanding this manual, learn to use your winch. After installing the winch practice using it.
3. Do not move your vehicle to assist the winch in pulling the load. The combination of the winch and vehicle pulling
together could overload the wire rope and winch.
4. Keep a safety distance. Ensure that all people stand well clear of winch during the operation. Always stand clear of
wire rope, hook and winch. To avoid the unlikely event of component failure, it is best that you and other are out of harms
way.
5. Inspect the wire rope and equipment frequently. A frayed wire rope with broken strands should be replaced
immediately. Always replace wire rope with T-MAX’s identical replacement part. Periodically check the winch installation
to ensure that all bolts are tight.
6. Use leather gloves when handling the wire rope. Do not let the wire rope slide through your hands even when wearing
gloves.
7. Never winch with less than 5 turns of wire rope or synthetic rope around the winch drum since the wire rope end
fastener will not withstand a load.
8. Always use the hand saver bar or hook strap (if so equipped) when guiding the wire rope in or out. (See Figure 4)
9. Keep clear of the winch, taut wire rope and hook when operating the winch. Never put your nger through the hook.
If you nger should become trapped in the hook, you could lose your nger. Never hook the wire rope back onto itself
because you could damage the wire rope. Use a nylon sling. (See Figure 1)
Figure 1
10. If a wire rope failure should occur, the cloth will act as a damper and help prevent the rope from whipping. (See
Figure 2)
Figure 2
11. Your winch is not designed or intended for overhead hoisting operations. Never use your winch for lifting or moving
people.
12. Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles as this will cause the wire rope to pile up at one end of the drum. This
can jamb the wire rope in the winch, causing damage to the winch or the wire rope.
13. Always operate the winch with an unobstructed view of the winching operation. Equipment such as tackle, hooks,
pulley blocks, straps, etc. should be sized to the winching task and should be periodically inspected for damage that
could reduce their strength.

14. Take appropriate precautions to disable the winch when not in use or under supervision to prevent use by children or
other unauthorized persons. Do not operate the winch when under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
15. When moving a load, slowly take up the wire rope slack until it becomes taut. Stop, recheck all winching connections.
Be sure the hook is properly seated. If a nylon sling is used, check the attachment to the load.
16. When using a winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral, set the vehicle parking brake and
chock the wheels.
17. Do not machine or weld any part of the winch. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the winch.
18. Do not power the winch longer than 120 seconds. The drum and wire rope/synthetic rope may get too hot
19. Do not connect the winch to either 110C AC house current or 220V mains as winch burnout or fatal shock may occur.
Never allow shock loads to be applied to the winch or wire rope.
20. Use caution when pulling or lowering a load up and down a ramp or incline. Keep people, pets and property clear of
the path of the load.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING YOUR WINCH
Step (1)
Choose a mounting location that is sufciently proper and safe to install your winch. The thickness of the location must
be at least 3/8” (4.8mm).
Do drill four holes which diameter is 9.5mm and position is 169mm x 76mm as Figure 3.
Note: Different banners or models of UTV/ATV maybe has respective place of mounting.
Figure 3
Step (2)
Let the mounting bolt through the holes (which is drilled in Step one) and the mounting plate from the bottom up.
Note: To use the Mounting bolts (M8 X 32MM) and washer which are supplied by T-MAX.
ATW4500 should be secured to the mounting with 3/8”UNC*1-1/4” steel bolts and spring washers provided.
NOTE:
If the mounting location is special, please use the bolt (M8 X32MM) and the washer to x ATV4500 rstly, and then x
the other two of the four spare holes diagonally in the same way.
