DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Winch is not designed for lifting or slinging loads. It is intended only for pulling a load and must be used with care.
fit only appropriately rated cable, strap and hook suitable for the task for which the winch is to be used.
Ensure the winch is maintained in a safe working condition. Inspect the cable and strap regularly checking for fraying, kinks, broken
strands or distortion. If such is present, replace the cable or strap. check all component parts, do not use if damaged, contact authorised
service agent.
Most truck beds are not designed to support the pulling capacity of a winch. choose an appropriately strong winching point, which we
recommend is reinforced with steel plates and appropriate securing bolts. the winch mounting point must be capable of withstanding
4 x the maximum rated capacity of the winch.
WARNING! Keep hands, your body and clothing away from the winch components and the cable and strap. Use a rag or
protective gloves when handling cable. Take any necessary precautions to protect your personal safety whilst using the winch.
for a heavy load place a blanket (or jacket) over extended cable about 2 feet away from the hook in order to lessen the severity of a
cable break.
WARNING! Ensure you know how much load you are winching. Never exceed the maximum pulling capacity. Take into account
any angle of incline over which the load must be pulled. Also account for winching loads from thick mud, or through snow or
water. Chock the wheels of vehicles to be winched then release any brakes and place gears in neutral, ensure the load is capable
of free movement before winching. Take up the strain on the cable or strap and remove the wheel chocks to move the load.
Ensure the load to be pulled has an appropriate fixing point. If not, fit an adequate sling, eyebolt or other accessory to the load. Ensure
accessories are equal to, or exceed, the maximum pulling capacity of the winch.
Ensure cable or strap is securely attached to the load before winching.
Maintain correct balance and footing whilst using the winch.
remove ill fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain and/or tie back long hair.
Keep children and non essential persons away from the operating area. Be aware of the location of other persons assisting you.
Apply even and steady pressure to the handle when releasing the tension from the load.
DO NOT operate the winch if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
WARNING! DO NOT use winch as a lifting device of any type. DO NOT use the winch for any purpose other than for which it is
designed.
WARNING! DO NOT exceed the rated pulling capacity of the winch.
DO NOT pull the cable or strap over or around a corner and Do not take the hook around the load and hook back onto the cable. use
appropriate sling if necessary.
DO NOT operate the winch with less than fIVE wraps of cable or strap on the drum.
DANGER! DO NOT use any “cheater” pipe, lever, or other device to lengthen the handle for additional leverage, as the pulley may
fail causing damage and possible personal injury. If the winch can not be operated by hand, it may be overloaded.
DO NOT operate the winch if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
WARNING! AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL BRAKE REQUIREMENT
the minimum pulling load required for a proper braking function on the winch is 25kg. Without this minimum load, the braking function, will
not take place.
WARNING! AVOID SIDEWAYS CABLE SLIP
the cable under load should only be wound on to the drum to such an extent that a minimum space of two times the cable diameter
remains on the drum flange. Winch overloading and a sideways cable slip will therefore be avoided.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but
must be applied by the operator.

3. INSTALLATION
Fig.1
3.1. INSTALLING WINCH.
Most truck beds are not designed to support the pulling capacity of a winch. choose an appropriately strong winching point, which when fitted
will give the winch handle enough clearance to turn. We recommend that the fixing point is reinforced with steel plate. Ensure the fixing bolts
are adequate for securing the winch with a full load. the winch mounting point must be capable of withstanding 4 x the maximum rated
capacity of the winch.
for fixing dimensions see fig.1. for GWc1200B, GWE1200B and GWW1200B and fig.2. for GWc2000B, GWE2000B and GWW2000B.
3.2. CONNECTING THE CABLE. (For GWE1200B/GWE2000B and replacement on other models.)
3.2.1. Insert the steel cable through the hole (see fig.3) from inside to outside.
3.2.2. thrust the cable into one side of the cable anchor and insert the cable end into the other side of the cable anchor leaving a large loop.
3.2.3. tighten the nut slightly, pull the cable and reduce the loop down to the cable anchor.
3.2.4. tighten the nut with a turning torque of 5-10nm. replace the cable anchor each time a cable is replaced.
Fig.2
3.3 CONNECTING THE STRAP.
3.3.1. the winch is designed to fit a strap as well as a cable. Push the strap fitting Bar, through the belt loop in the direction of the arrow in
fig.4.
3.3.2. secure the strap fitting Bar with a screw, a spring washer and a flat washer.
WARNING! the strap breaking strain must be at least 3 times the pulling capacity.
