WARNING

I. Safety Precaution

Precautions before using of winch are listing as follows:

Precautions at thetime of operation of winch are listing as follows:

Thank you for purchasing a Winch.

maintenance of the winch. All information in this publication is based on the latest
production information available at the time of printing. We reserve the right to make
changes without notice because of continued product improvement.

The winch has been designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according
to the instructions. Please read and understand this manual before installation and
operation of the winch. Careless winch operation can result in serious injury or property
damage.

When requesting information or ordering replacement parts, always give the following
information:

1. Winch model and voltage

2. Serial Number

3. Item. No. and Part Number

4. Part Description

1. The winch is a very powerful machine. Treat with extreme care and observe all
caution and warnings.

2. The winch is rated at the first layer of wire/synthetic rope on the drum for
intermittent-periodic duty.

3. The winch is not to be used to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.

4. A minimum of five (5) wraps of steel wire rope and of ten (10) wraps of synthetic rope
around the drum is necessary to support the rated load.

5. Keep clear of winch, rope, hook, and fairlead while operating.

6. Wire/synthetic rope can break without warning. Always keep a safe distance from the
winch and rope while under a load

7. Failure to adequately align, support, or attach the winch to a suitable mounting base
could result in a loss of efficiency of performance or damage to the winch, wire rope
and mounting channel.

This manual covers operation and

The winch is designed to give safe and d ependable service of tr ouble-free operation. Pleas e read
and understand this Instruction Manual before installing your winch.

f

Confirm that the winch complies with the using conditions.
Because the maximum rope tensile force capable of loading decreases corresponding to the

increase of number of winding layers, please carry out rope winding according to the

instruction of this manual.
Don’t use rope that is unsuitable because of its construction, strength or having any defects.
Don’t use a hook or pulley block that is suited to the rope.

f

The operator of winch in some cases is required to hold qualifications according to applicable

laws and ordinances.
Prior to starting of use, carry out the daily checking without fail.
During use five(5) wraps of wire rope and ten (10) synthetic rope must remain on the drum at

all times. Even in the condition where the rope is feed out at most,

Do not use winch as a lifting device or a hoist for vertical lift (fig1).
Do not use winch to move people.
Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings shown. Do not shock load.
Keep hands clear of wire/synthetic rope.
Pull from an angle below 15 degree to straighten up the vehicle or boat (fig 2).
Run the engine during winching operations to keep battery charged.
Use leather gloves or a heavy rag when handling the wire rope.
Disconnect the remote switch from the winch when not in use.
When winching a heavy load, lay a heavy blanket over the wire/synthetic

rope near the hook end.
Always operate your winch in an underwound orientation only (Fig 3).

Fleet angle

To obtain the best wire/synthetic rope service, the direction of pull will be on a horizontal within
±15 degrees and perpendicular to be centerline of th e winch drum within ±5 degrees. If the fleet
angle is bigger than the recommended angles, a good spooling cannot be obtained as the rope
will spoon onto one side of the rope drum and possible damage to the rope or winch.

Load and speed varies according to how much
wire/synthetic rope is on the drum. The first layer of rope on
the drum delivers the slowest speed and the maxim um loa d.
A full drum delivers the maximum speed and the minimum
load.

For this reason, all utility duty winches are rated at their first
layer capacities.

You need a winch powerful enough to overcome the weight of your vehicle with the added
resistance caused by the obstacle, moving water, mud, snow, sand or on a steep hill.

As a general guide, you need a winch with a maximum lin e pull of at least 1.5 ti mes great er than
the gross vehicle weight.

For example, if a vehicle weighing 1,200 kg is winc hed up an incline by 100% on the marsh road,
the above formula would be used as follows:

Where Wt: 1,200 kg, S: 0.52 G: 0.71

RPF = (Wt X S) + (Wt X G)
= (1,200 kg X 0.52) + (1,200 kg X 0.71)
= 624 kg + 852 kg
= 1,476 kg of effect required to recover the vehicle.

A slopeof 10% is a rise of one meter
in ten meters (High / Distance)

When choosing an anchor point, select a safe and firm point such as a tree, stump or rocks. If
using a winch to retrieve another vehicle, the rescue vehicle is considered the anc hor point and
should be made secure.

The anchor point must be strong enough to hold the gross weight of the vehicle and be
positioned to keep the fleet angle between the centre of the anchor poin t and the wire/synthetic
rope maintained less than 15°. Always use a tree trunk protector strap to prevent ring barking the
tree and damaged to the wire rope.

There are three factors listed that influence the line pull effect required to recover the vehicle.
The values and calculations in this section are approximate and are for reference only.

a). Gross vehicle weight
b). Type of the surface to be traversed
c). Gradient to overcome

In recovery and loading the winch is used to pull something, the required pul ling force (RPF) can
be calculated according to the formula:

RPF = (Wt X S) + (Wt X G)

Where: Wt = The gross vehicle weight
S = The type of the surface to be traversed
G = The gradient to overcome

Metal 0.15 5% 3° 0.06
Sand 0.18 10% 6° 0.11
Gravel 0.20 20% 11° 0.2
Soft Sand 0.22 30% 17° 0.3
Mud 0.32 50% 26° 0.44
Marsh 0.52 70% 35° 0.58
Clay 0.52 100% 45° 0.71



The use of 4 ways roller fairlead can eliminate the contacting
friction because the fairlead rollers contact with the wire/synthetic
rope. But the fairlead does not insure the wire/synthetic rope will
wind onto the drum in an orderly m anner. The proper fleet angle
within 15° must be maintained for the wire/synthetic rope to wind
onto the drum in an orderly manner. If the proper fleet angle is not
maintained, it can result in damage to the winc h and wire/synthet ic
rope.

The basic hawse fairlead is designed to guide the synthetic rope to
and from the winch drum. Do not use cast steel hawse fairleads as
they have sharp edges and they do not have enough radius for the
rope to bend over.

A recovery damper is a safety device designed to help eliminated
the possibility of injury or property damage in the event of a
wire/synthetic rope failure. Place in the middle third of a live rope.
The damper can help absorb the e ne rgy in the rope and reduce the
likelihood of injury or damage.
