Installation
Wiring the electric winch
This winch can be used with temporary or permanent wiring.
Temporary wiring:
1. Lift the rubber seal of the socket at the right side of the winch housing and plug the cable in.
Lay the cable from the winch to battery making sure that it cannot be tangled in portable equip-
ment and cause a tripping hazard.
2. Connect the black clamp handle of the power cable with the frame of the vehicle, establishing
an earth connection. Connect the red clamp handle to the positive (+/red) terminal of the battery.
Note: Make sure to use a 12 V car battery or equivalent in good condition.
3. Lift the rubber seal at the left side of the winch housing. Taking the remote-control unit, insert
the plug at the end of the cable into the socket on the right side of the winch housing labelled
“Remote control.”
4. Lay down the remote control at a safe spot until the winch is ready for operation.
Permanent wiring:
1. Attach the over-current protection to the positive (+/red) terminal of your battery, using the bat-
tery terminal clamp bolt.
2. Choose a route for the cable from the place of your vehicle where the winch is to be mounted
to or where it is connected to the battery. This route must be safe, out of the range of moving
parts and road debris, and must not present any danger for the cable being damaged during
vehicle operation or maintenance. For example, the cables can be laid under the vehicle and
be attached by appropriate means to its frame. Nevertheless, do not attach it to the exhaust
system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other components which may cre-
ate damage to the wiring through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
3. If drilling through the bumper or any part of the body to route the cables, be sure to install a
rubber grommet in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
4. Now lay the power cable from the point where the winch will be used to the battery. Follow the
precautions discussed above.
5. Remove the red clamp handle and attach the red cable to the over-current protector mounted
to the positive (+/red) terminal of the battery.
6. Remove the black clamp handle and attach the black cable to the frame of the vehicle to create
a secure earthing.
Warning!
•Always connect red to red (positive to positive) and black to the vehicle frame and create an
earthing if using the car battery.
•Never use the winch or other accessories up to the point of total exhaustion of the battery. This
could permanently damage the battery!
•You may keep the engine of the vehicle running while using the winch to continually recharge
the battery. However, be extremely cautious when working on a vehicle the engine of which is
running.
•Do not use any dirty, corroded, or leaking battery. The acid can burn your skin, causing an
injury.
•Always wear approved eye protection when working on or with a battery.
Mounting the winch
This winch is designed to be mounted temporarily to trailer hitch mounting bracket. Nevertheless, it can
be mounted permanently, too.
Permanent mounting:
1. Select a mounting spot at the bumper of your vehicle, truck bed, boat trailer, or other suitable
location. Note: The winch can generate 907 kg (2000 lbs) pulling force. Make sure that the spot

chosen can withstand such a force. You may need to use steel reinforcement plates or weld on
additional bracing, depending on the mounting spot chosen.
2. Align the winch with the spot chosen and mark the position of the bottom holes for drilling.
3. At these positions, drill four holes into the mounting spot.
4. Using hardened steel bolts of a diameter of at least 0.95 cm (⅜″), mount the winch to the spot
chosen.
Temporary mounting:
1. Attach the three plate stud bolts to the adapter plate, using the supplied nuts. Tighten them
firmly.
2. Slide the heads of the plate studs into the keyhole slots on the back of the winch.
3. Attach the winch/adapter plate assembly to your trailer hitch by inserting the trailer hitch ball
through the shaped hole in the adapter plate.
Using the winch
1. Put your vehicle in neutral. Never winch with your vehicle in gear or park, since this could dam-
age transmission of your vehicle. Pull the handbrake. Block the wheels from rolling, using suit-
able chocks. Failure to follow these instructions can cause your vehicle to roll while winching,
creating an extremely dangerous situation!
2. To pull out the steel cable, turn the clutch knob counter-clockwise to loosen it. Then pull out the
cable to the length needed. You may also turn the clutch knob clockwise to tighten it. Then use
the remote control or wireless remote control to let out the cable to the length needed. Always
leave at least three turns of cable on the spool to prevent the cable from being pulled out of the
winch.
3. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow strap, or chain. Never wrap the cable around the
object and hook onto the cable itself. This can cause damage to the object being pulled and
kink or fray the cable.
4. Re-tighten the clutch knob.
5. Stand clear. When it is safe to do so, use the power switch of the remote control to retract the
cable and winch the object.
Warning
•Keep hands, clothing, hair, and jewellery clear off the drum area and cable when winching.
•Never use the winch if the cable is frayed, kinked, or damaged.
•Never allow anyone to stand near the cable or in line with the cable behind the winch while it is
powered. If the cable should slip or break, it can suddenly whip back toward the winch, causing
a hazard for anyone in the area. Always stand well to the side while winching.
Pulling capacity
•Depending on the model, the winch has different capacities. Let us take for instance a winch
with 907 kg (2000 lbs) capacity. Practically applied, the winch can move the following objects:
◦stopped charges of up to 907 kg (2000 lbs) on even terrain,
◦waterborne craft of up to 2267 kg (4998 lbs),
◦wheeled vehicle of up to 2721 kg (6000 lbs) to maintain its movement.
•Another winch model has a 1588 kg (3500 lbs) capacity. Practically applied, the winch can move
the following objects:
◦stopped charges of up to 1588 kg (3500 lbs) on even terrain,
◦waterborne craft of up to 4490 kg (9899 lbs),
◦wheeled vehicle of up to 4990 kg (11000 lbs) to maintain its movement.
•The pulling force is reduced with the inclination increasing. For example, the rolling capacity of
2722 kg (6000 lbs) is reduced to 499 kg (1100 lbs) on a level ground with the inclination being
45°. Please refer to the following diagrams for estimated pulling capacities (rolling weight) on
different inclinations.

Using the emergency hand crank
Warning: Do not use the crank to assist an operating winch. This will damage the winch
and may cause personal injury.
1. Turn the clutch knob clockwise until hand tight. Do not force or overtighten it.
2. Place the end of the hand crank over the flattened end of the threaded shaft on the left side of
the winch.
3. Rotate the hand crank clockwise to tighten the cable. Continue to turn until the cable has been
completely retracted.
Maintenance
1. Occasionally lubricate the cable with light oil.
2. Grease the gears every 6 months. To do this, remove the clutch knob and separate the left and
right housing. Use any good-quality waterproof grease.
