Automotive Winch

Thank you for purchasing a

Winch. This manual covers operation and 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 pro

perty 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/synthetic rope and
mounting channel.

Wireless Receiver & Transmitter Operation

1. Replacing Battery

If the LED Indicator blinks Green, the battery is low and should be replaced.
a. Remove the three screws from the wireless transmitter.
b. Separate the top section and remove the old battery and dispose it.
c. Insert new lithium battery and join the top section with the bottom section.
d. Make sure to fasten the three screws.

2. First Installation/Re-programming the Receiver

The transmitter is programmed from the factory and under normal circumstances it won’t be
necessary to program it. Use the following proce

dures for any programming of the receiver.

a. Attach the red(+) and black(-) leads to battery set on the vehicle, then the buzzer beeps for 5

minutes and the Right LED on the bridge control box blinks Blue.

Lithium Battery: CR2032 (3V)

Green permanently.
c. Press either Cable In Button or Cable Out Button for programming.
d. After the completion of programming, the buzzer sounds a long beep lasting for 5 seconds.

For Seal 9.5rsi winch, the Right LED turns off and the Left LED illuminates Green

permanently.
e. The process of the programming shall be completed within 5 minutes, if it fails to program,

turn off the power and restart the programming.

3. Start the Winch

Battery Recommendations and lead size

A fully charged battery and good connections are essential for the proper operation of your winch.
The minimum requirement for battery is 650 cold cranking amp. The voltage drop for the winch
motor must not exceed 10% of the nominal voltage of 12/24V DC.
The battery lead shall be 2 gauge with 1.83 m in length at most, otherwise a considerable voltage

drop will be happened.

Cable-in / Cable-out Operation

For Wired Remote Control

1. To “ Winch or Cable - Out”, trigger → out

2. To “ Winch or Cable - In”, trigger ← in

3. To stop winching, release the trigger

For Wireless Control Module:

Clutch Function

1. The clutch allows rapid pay-out of the wire/synthetic rope for hooking onto a load or anchor
points and is operated by a clutch T-handle.

2. The clutch T-handle must be in the “Engaged” position before winching.

3. To disengage, lift the clutch T-handle up and turn it at the proper angle mentioned in the
mounting configurations chart below in a counter-clockwise direction to the “Disengaged”
position. Wire/synthetic rope can now free spool off the drum.

4. To engage, lift the clutch T-handle up and turn it at the proper

angle mentioned in the

mounting configurations chart below in a clockwise direction to the “Engaged” position.

5. If a clutch T-handle can’t be properly locked in the “Engaged” position, rotate the drum to help
the clutch device engage the gear train.

6. Wear gloves and use a hand saver strap when guiding the wire/synthetic rope off the drum.

7. Never disengage the clutch while wire/synthetic rope is under load.

Motor Repositioning

Change the motor mounting direction according to the following steps

1. Use a piece of 11 mm wrench and loose 2 pieces of screw..

2. Hold the motor to avoid any escape. Loose and take away 2 pieces of screw located at motor

edge place.

3. Pull the motor backward by 5mm for escaping the positioning pin and rotate the motor by 90

degree increments to the required position.

4. Re-assembly 2 pieces of screw to the motor edge place and tighten them after the motor and

position pin reaching their positioning p

laces.
