ENGLISH 14560

WARNING

Read this manual thoroughly before operating
your winch. Failure to follow instructions could
result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Do not exceed the rated capacity.

DANGER

Do not use this winch for lifting or moving
people or animals.

DANGER

Keep yourself and others a safe distance to
the side of the cable when under tension.

DANGER

Never step over a cable or near a cable under
load.

WARNING

Do not use the winch to secure or hold a
vehicle for a long period of time. Do not use
the winch to secure a vehicle for transport.

WARNING

Disconnect the remote control and battery
leads when not in use.

WARNING

Avoid “shock loads” by using the control
switch intermittently to take up the slack in
the wire rope. “Shock loads” can far exceed
the rate capacity for the wire rope and drum.

Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching.
Loss of traction can cause a shock load on
the cable.

WARNING

Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.

WARNING

The wire rope may break before the motor
stalls. For heavy loads at or near rated
capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to
reduce the load on the wire rope.

WARNING

Do not move the vehicle to pull a load
(towing) on the winch cable. This could result
in cable breakage.

WARNING

Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified
by the vehicle manufacturer.

Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away from
batteries at all times. Wear safety glasses and
protect the eyes at all times. Do not lean over
the batteries during operation.

14560 ENGLISH

SAFETY RULES

WARNING

When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the
cable spools in the under-wind position with
the cable entering the drum from the bottom,
not the top.

To re-spool correctly, and while wearing
gloves, keep a slight load on the cable while
pushing the remote button to draw in the
cable. Walk toward the winch not allowing
the cable to slide through your hands. Do not
let your hands get within 12” of the winch
while re-spooling. Turn off the winch and
repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable
are left. Disconnect the remote control and
finish spooling by rotating the drum by hand
with the clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear
of the fairlead and drum while the winch is
under power.

WARNING

Do not use as a hoist. Do not use for overhead
lifting.

CAUTION

Use gloves to protect hands when handling
the cable. Never let the cable slide through
your hands.

CAUTION

Duration of winching pulls should be kept as
short as possible.

If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to
the touch, stop winching immediately and let
it cool down for a few minutes. Do not pull for
more than one minute at or near the rated load.

CAUTION

If the motor stalls, do not maintain power to
the winch.

Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in
constant duty applications.

CAUTION

Never release the free-spool clutch when
there is a load on the winch.

CAUTION

Use hook strap when handling the hook for
spooling or unspooling the wire rope.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Do not wrap the cable around any object and
hook it back onto itself.

CAUTION

Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle
when on an incline.

DO NOT Mix Old and New batteries
DO NOT Mix Alkaline, Standard, or
Rechargeable Batteries

ASSEMBLY

Assembling the Winch

This CPE 4500 lb. (2041 kg) winch is designed
with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class
of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available
that utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular
trucks, UTVs and ATVs. If you cannot find a kit
locally, contact CPE and we will provide you with
the name of a dealer.

CAUTION

Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 34 ft. lbs.

1. Insert M10x20 bolts through the mounting
channel holes and attach the roller fairlead
to the mounting channel with the M10 lock
washers and M10 nuts provided.

2. Turn the winch upside down. Place the
mounting channel on the winch, making sure
the winch is centered in the middle of it.

3. Thread the M8x25 bolts through the M8
flat and lockers washers, and then thread
through the mounting channel. Tighten the
bolts. DO NOT over tighten.

4. Turn winch right side up. Disengage the
clutch by moving the Cam Ring to the “Out”
position. Release the wire rope and pull
through the roller fairlead.

5. Attach the clevis hook to the cable, and then
hand strap to the clevis hook.

CAUTION

If utilizing a mounting plate, ensure that the three
major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are
properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will
allow for even distribution of the full rated load.

NOTE

The type of vehicle to which the winch and mounting
channel will be applied, will dictate the type of
mounting kit that should be used (Speed Mount™
Hitch Adapter, Standard Mounting Channel, or
Specialty Mounting Kit).

Solenoid/Contactor Location

Find a location for the solenoid/contactor. It is
recommended that the solenoid/contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean, dry
location. Make sure the location chosen allows for
sufficient clearance from all metal components.
Drill mounting holes if required. Once a location
is found, DO NOT install the unit until all wiring
is completed (see wiring section).

NOTE

Terminals coming in contact with metal will cause
a direct short, possibly causing solenoid /contactor
and/or battery damage.

Installing the Rocker Switch

1. Decide which handlebar the rocker switch will
be mounted on. (The rocker switch is usually
installed on the left handlebar).

2. Use a piece of electrical tape (not provided)
around the handlebar to help prevent rotation
of the mount.

3. Tighten the rocker switch in place. DO NOT
over tighten or tighten/clamp over any hoses
or cables.

4. Once the rocker switch is mounted, the wires
can be routed back to where the solenoid/
contactor is located.

5. Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the rocker switch’s
cable with the supplied cable ties.

Installing the Antenna (Wireless Use Only)

1. Determine the mounting location.

2. If mounting on a flat surface, mark and drill a
minimum of two (2) mounting holes, one (1)
on each side of the antenna. Loosely attach
the antenna using the supplied bolts and lock
nuts. Do NOT tighten fasteners at this time.

3. If mounting on a frame tube, loosely attach
using the supplied cable ties.

OPERATION

ENGLISH 14560

General Tips for Safe Operation

Your 14560 winch is rated at a 4500 lb. capacity
in first layer (max) when spooling the first rope
layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the
winch, motor and/or wire rope. For loads over
2,250 lbs. (1021 kg.) we recommend the use of
the pulley block/snatch block to double the wire
rope line. This will aid in two ways:
(a) reduce the number or rope layers on the drum,

as well as,

(b) reduce the load on the wire rope by as much

as 50%.
When doubling the line back to the vehicle,
attach to the tow hook, frame or other load bearing
part. The vehicle engine should be kept running
during operation of the winch to minimize battery
drain and maximize power and speed of the winch.
If the winch is used for a considerable time with
the engine off the battery may be drained and too
weak to restart the engine.
Get to know your winch before you actually need to
use it. We recommend that you set up a few test
runs to familiarize yourself with rigging techniques,
the sounds your winch makes under various loads,
the way the cable spools on the drum, etc.
Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each
use. A frayed or damaged rope shall be replaced
immediately. Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement rope with the exact specifications.
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure
that all bolts are tight before each operation. Store
the remote control inside your vehicle in a place
that it will not be damaged.
Any winch that appears to be damaged in any way,
is found to be worn, or operates abnormally MUST
BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED.
It is recommended that the necessary repairs
be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair
facilit y.
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer. Only attachments and/
or adapters supplied by the manufacturer are to
be used.

Self Recovery

Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk
or boulder. Always use a sling as an anchor point.

A roller fairlead (not included) will help guide the
wire rope and to reduce binding on short side
pulls. Do not winch from an acute angle as the
wire rope will pile up on one side of the drum
causing damage to wire rope and the winch.

RIGHT WRONG

Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten
the vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the wire
rope at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket or jacket
over the wire rope five or six feet from the hook.

In the event of a broken cable it will dampen the
snap back. For additional protection open the
hood of the vehicle. For pulls over 2,250 lbs.
(1021 kg.), we recommend the use of the snatch
block/pulley block to double line the wire rope.

SINGLE LINE DOUBLE LINE

This reduces the load on the winch and the strain
on the rope by approximately 50%.

OPERATION

Winching Techniques A-Z

(a) Take time to assess your situation and plan

your pull.
(b) Put on gloves to protect your hands.
(c) Disengage the clutch to allow free- spooling

and also save battery power.
(d) Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook.
(e) Pull out the wire rope to your desired anchor

point using the hook strap.
(f) Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point:

Sling, chain or snatch block. Do not attach

the hook back onto the wire rope.
(g) Engage the clutch.
(h) Connect the remote control to the winch. If

you are going to control the winch from inside

your vehicle then pass the remote through an

open window to avoid the wires being pinched

in the door.
(i) Start your engine to ensure power is being

replenished to the battery.
(j) Power in the wire rope guiding the wire under

tension to draw up the slack in the wire. Once

the wire is under tension, stand clear. Never

step over the wire rope.
(k) Double check your anchors and make sure all

connections are secure.
(l) Inspect the wire rope. Make sure there are at

least 5 wraps of wire rope around the winch

drum.
(m) Drape a blanket or jacket over the wire rope

approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook.

Open the hood for added protection.
(n) Clear the area. Make sure all spectators stand

clear and that no one is directly in front or

behind the vehicle or anchor point.
(o) Begin winching. Be sure that the wire rope

is winding evenly and tightly around the

drum. The vehicle that is being winched can

be slowly driven to add assistance to the

winching process. Avoid shock loads; keep

the wire rope under tension.

Winching Techniques A-Z Cont’d.

(p) The vehicle to be winched should be placed

in neutral and the emergency brake released.
Only release the brake pedal when under full
tension. Avoid shock loads to the winch. This
can damage the winch, rope and vehicle.

(q) The winch is meant for intermittent use.

Under full load with a single line rig do not
power in for more than a minute without
letting the motor cool down for a few minutes
and then resume the winching operation.

(r) The winching operation is complete once the

vehicle is on stable ground and is able to
drive under its own power.

(s) Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes

and place the vehicle in park.

(t) Release the tension on the wire rope. The

winch is not meant to hold the vehicle for

long periods of time.
(u) Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor.
(v) Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire

already on the drum has spooled tightly and

neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool

from the point where the rope is tight.
(w) Keep your hands clear of the winch drum and

fairlead as the wire rope is being drawn in.
(x) Secure the hook and hook strap.
(y) Disconnect the remote control and store in a

clean, dry place.
(z) Clean and inspect connections and mounting

hardware for next winching operation.
