IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 at 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
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
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.
CAUTION
Use hook strap when handling the hook for spooling or
unspooling the wire rope.
CAUTION
Use gloves to protect hands when handling the cable.
Never let the cable slide through your hands.
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 30 cm (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
Do not wrap the cable around any object and hook it
back onto itself.

100600 - 2000 LB. (907 KG) WINCH
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
Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle when on an
incline.
CAUTION

1. Motor – 1.0 HP (0.8 kW) 12V DC motor provides
power to the planetary gear mechanism.
2. Planetary Gear System – The reduction gears
convert the winch motor power into extreme pulling
forces. This system allows high torque while
maintaining compact size and light weight.
3. Braking System – Braking action is automatically
applied to the winch drum when the winch motor is
stopped and there is a load on the synthetic rope.
4. Winch Drum – The winch drum is the cylinder
on which the synthetic rope is stored. It can feed
or wind the rope depending on the remote winch
switch.
5. Free Spooling Clutch – The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“Out”) the spooling
drum from the gear train, free spool. Engaging the
clutch (“In”) locks the winch into the gear system.
6. Mounting Channel
7. Aluminum Hawse – When using the winch at
an angle the hawse acts to guide the synthetic
rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the
synthetic rope from abrasion on the winch mount or
bumper.
8. Synthetic Rope – 3/16 in. × 34.4 ft.
(4.8 mm × 10.5 m) Synthetic Rope designed
specifically for load capacity of 2,000 lb (907 kg).
The synthetic rope feeds onto the drum in the
“under wind” position through the Aluminum Hawse
and is looped at the end to accept the clevis hook
pin.
9. Clevis Hook – Provides a means for connecting the
looped ends of cables to an anchor.
10. Strap – Used to assist cable feed.
11. Remote Switch – Dual switches for powering the
rope in or out of your winch drum.
This CPE 2,000 lb (907 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, SUV’s and ATV’s. 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.

General Tips for Safe Operation
Your 100600 winch is rated at a 2,000 lb (907 kg)
capacity in first layer (max) when spooling the first
rope layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the
winch, motor and/or synthetic rope. For loads over
1,000 lb. (454 kg) we recommend the use of the pulley
block/snatch block to double the synthetic rope line. This
will aid in two ways:
– reduce the number or rope layers on the drum,
as well as,
– reduce the load on the 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 motor.
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 rope
spools on the drum, etc.
Inspect the synthetic 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.
Self Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or
boulder. Always use a sling as an anchor point.
Your winch is equipped with a aluminum hawse to help
guide the synthetic rope and to reduce binding on short
side pulls. Do not winch from an acute angle as the
synthetic rope will pile up on one side of the drum causing
damage to synthetic rope and the winch.
CorrectIncorrect
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the
vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the synthetic rope
at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle. When pulling a heavy
load, place a blanket or jacket over the synthetic 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 1,000 lb. (454 kg), we recommend
the use of the snatch block /pulley block to double line the
synthetic rope.

This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the
rope by approximately 50%.
Synthetic Rope Abrasion Sleeve
The winch should be set up to avoid any rough surface
from contacting the rope. If that is not possible, the
abrasion sleeve can be used to help protect the rope (A).
A
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 synthetic 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 synthetic 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. Drape a blanket or jacket over the synthetic rope
approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook. Open the
hood for added protection.
K. Power in the synthetic rope guiding the rope under
tension to draw up the slack in the rope. Once the
rope is under tension, stand clear. Never step over
the synthetic rope.
L. Double check your anchors and make sure all
connections are secure.
M. Inspect the synthetic rope. Make sure there are at
least 5 wraps of synthetic rope around the winch
drum.
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 synthetic 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 synthetic rope under tension.
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 synthetic rope. The winch
is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods of
time.
U. Disconnect the synthetic rope from the anchor.
V. Rewind the synthetic rope. Make sure that any rope
already on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly.
If not, draw out the rope and re-spool from the point
where the rope is tight.

4. Retract Synthetic Rope onto drum being careful not
to allow kinking.
Synthetic Rope
Periodically rinse the synthetic rope with water to remove
any sand, dirt, mud, or debris that can become embedded
or build up in the rope during use. This will help extend
the life of the rope.
NOTICE
Inspect rope before and after each use. If rope
becomes frayed it must be replaced.
Lubrication
All moving par ts within the Electric Winch having been
Lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the
factory. No internal lubrication is required. Lubricate
Cable Assembly periodically using a light penetrating oil.
Synthetic Rope Replacement
It is recommended that any modifications be performed
by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility, and that
only manufacturer-supplied par ts be used.
1. Move the clutch to the “Out” position.
2. Extend Synthetic Rope to its full length. Note how
the existing rope is connected to the inside of the
drum.
3. Remove old Synthetic Rope and attach new one.
