WARNINGS:
STAY OUT FROM UNDER AND AWAY FROM RAISED LOADS.
STAND CLEAR OF CABLE WHILE PULLING. DO NOT TRY TO GUIDE CABLE.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LINE PULL RATINGS SHOWN IN TABLE.
DO NOT USE WINCH TO LIFT, SUPPORT, OR OTHERWISE TRANSPORT PERSONNEL.
A MINIMUM OF 5 WRAPS OF WIRE ROPE AROUND DRUM BARREL IS REQUIRED TO HOLD THE LOAD.
WINCH MOUNTING
NOTE: The winch must be mounted so that the cable reels in in the required direction as noted on page 6.
NOTE: Remove and discard the (4) 1/2” capscrews from the foot mounting holes in the end bearings. These capscrews hold on the foot mount spacers during shipping and should not be used for mounting.
It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable drum, and the gear-housing end) are properly aligned. Excessive bushing wear is a symptom of misalignment.
When installed mid-mounted, at least one tie plate should be attached to the mounting feet at the bottom of the winch to maintain alignment. When installed foot-mounted, at least one tie plate should remain mounted at mid point of winch to maintain alignment. It is always preferable to use both tie plates in the installed configuration.
When mounting the winch, the mounting hole patterns described on page 6 should be used. The mounting surface must be flat within 0.015 inch and sufficiently stiff to resist flexing. If a steel plate is used for foot mounting it should be .750 inch thick. For this mounting application eight (8) 1/2-13NC x 2-1/4” Lg. Gr. 5 capscrews with lockwashers will be needed to mount winch. Note that the supplied foot-mount spacers (.88” thick) must be installed between the winch and the mounting plate. Capscrews should be torqued to 85 ft-lb. (115 Nm).
CAUTION: IF LONGER BOLTS ARE SUBSTITUTED TO MOUNT WINCH OR TO MOUNT A ROLLER GUIDE AT THE SIDE MOUNT PADS, GRADE 5 OR BETTER BOLTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED, AND BOLT LENGTH SHOULD BE SUCH THAT A MAXIMUM OF .56 INCH THREAD LENGTH ENGAGEMENT IS ACHIEVED IN THE TAPPED HOLES IN THE SIDES OF EACH END BEARING.

PERFORMANCE CHARTS
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Refer to the performance charts below to properly match your hydraulic system to the winch performance. The charts consist of: (1) first layer line pull (LB) vs. working pressure (PSI) and (2) first layer line speed (FPM) vs. flow (GPM). A motor spool directional control valve is required.
Page 6
OPERATION
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you actually use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch, as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Avoid conditions where load shifts or jerks occur, as they may indicate a dangerous situation.
The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling a load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable pileup on one end of drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the load and move your anchor point further to the center of the load. After the job is done you can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the cable for damage and lubricate frequently. If the cable becomes frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.
2. Replace drum bushings and seals when seals begin to seep grease. Add additional lubricant, Mobilith SHC 007, to gears if required.
CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Place taped end of cable into narrow side of pocket on the cable drum. Wrap end of cable around cable anchor or puck and pull tight.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in" direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the cable onto the cable drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
