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 in. 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.

OPERATION
ENGLISH10022 9
General Tips for Safe Operation
Your 100229 winch is rated at a 10000 lb.
(4536 kg) 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 50% we recommend the use of the
pulley block/snatch block (not included) 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
facility.
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.
9
Self Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk
or boulder. Always use a sling (not included) as an
anchor point.
A roller fairlead (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.
RIGHTWRONG
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 5-6 ft. (1.5-1.8 m) 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 50%,
we recommend the use of the snatch block /pulley
block to double line the wire rope.
SINGLE LINEDOUBLE LINE
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain
on the rope by approximately 50%.
100229 ENGLISH
OPERATION
Winching Techniques A-Z
(a) Take time to a s sess you r s itu ation 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 5-6 ft. (1.5-1.8 m) 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.
