Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty on each new Arctic Cat / WARN
Cat dealer.
Arctic Cat warrants only the products it manufactures and/or sells and does
not warrant that other products will function properly when used with an
Arctic Cat vehicle or will not damage the vehicle. Arctic Cat does not
assume any liability for incidental or consequential damages.
Arctic Cat will repair or replace, at its option, free of charge (including any
related labor charges), any parts that are found to be warrantable in material
or workmanship. This repair work MUST be done by an authorized Arctic
Cat dealer. No transportation charges will be paid by Arctic Cat. The warranty is validated upon examination of said parts by Arctic Cat or an authorized Arctic Cat dealer. Arctic Cat reserves the right to inspect such parts at
its factory for final determination if warranty should apply.
This warranty does not apply if the winch has been damaged by accident,
abuse, misuse, collision, overloading, exhaust or misapplication, or has been
improperly serviced. The finish and synthetic rope on the winch are
excluded from warranty. In addition commercial or industrial use or application or any hoisting application voids the entire warranty.
In consideration of the foregoing, any implied warranty is limited in duration
to the various warranty periods set forth. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state or country to country. Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

TION! BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED.
Failure to follow WARNING instructions
could result in severe injury or death to the
vehicle/winch operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting or repairing the vehicle or
winch.
A CAUTION indicates special precautions
that must be taken to avoid damage to the
vehicle.
A NOTE provides key information to make
procedures easier or more clear.
• Wiring to all components is correct. All loose wires are cable tied tight.
• There are no exposed wiring or terminals (cover any existing exposures
with insulator plate), terminal boots, heat shrink tubing, or electricians’
tape.
• The solenoid is properly grounded.
• Turn ATV key switch to ON position. Check winch for proper
operation.
CAUTION
KNOW THE WINCH: Take time to fully understand the winch and the
winching operation.
Testing The Winch And Controls
1. With the ignition switch off and the key removed, turn the winch
selector knob to the “freespool” position. Pull out approximately two to
three feet of cable from the winch reel.
2. Turn the winch selector knob to the “engaged” position; then insert the
ignition key into the ignition switch, and turn to the ON position.
3. Place the winch control in the “IN” position and observe the movement
of the winch cable. If the cable does not wind onto the reel in the proper
direction, reverse the lead connections on the winch motor terminals
and test the winch again.
NOTE: The cable must wind and spool from the top of the reel.
NOTE: The wire cable must always spool onto the drum as indicated
• Do not disengage clutch if winch is under load or wire cable is in
tension.
When the clutch is engaged, the gear train is coupled to the wire cable drum
and power may be transferred from the winch motor. When the clutch is in
freespool, the gear train and wire cable drum are uncoupled allowing the
drum to rotate freely. The clutch knob, located on the winch housing opposite the motor, controls the clutch position. To prevent damage, always fully
engage or fully disengage the clutch knob.

OVERLOADING/OVERHEATING
This winch is rated for intermittent duty. It should not be operated with the
motor slowed down to a low RPM. When the motor approaches stall speed, a
very rapid heat build-up occurs which may cause motor damage. To judge
safe running time, stop winching and lay your hand on the motor. If the temperature is uncomfortable, shut down and cool the motor. This can be used as
an opportunity to recharge the battery. Double line rigging will reduce the
amperage draw from the motor allowing longer continual use (see Rigging
sub-section).
BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS
A fully charged battery and good connections are essential to the proper
operation of the winch. A minimum 12 DC volt 10 Amp-hour-rated battery
is required.
MAINTENANCE
• No lubrication is required for the life of the winch.
• Check battery cables at 90 day intervals to be certain that they are clean
and tight at all connections.
• Inspect the wire cable before and after each winching operation.
Replace when damaged.
Operating The Winch
NOTE: Read and understand the winch operating instructions before
operating the winch. Keep the Winch Operator’s Manual with the ATV at
all times.
! WARNING
Read, follow, and understand the operating procedures to ensure
personal safety and long winch life. Extreme caution must be exercised when winching and spooling. Observe all caution and warning labels at all times. Read the Operator's Manual thoroughly
before using the winch.
CAUTION
Prolonged winch operation can lead to deep cycling of the battery.
Failing to allow adequate charging time for the ATV battery could
result in power failure or damage.
Stretching Wire Cable
The life of a wire cable is directly related to the care and use it receives. During its first use, a new wire cable must be spooled onto its drum under a load
of at least 227 kg (500 lb). Spool out the wire cable to the last 5 wraps on the
drum; then power in the wire cable under a load of 227 kg (500 lb) or more.
NOTE: Stretching the new wire cable will help create an even and
tight wire wrap around the drum. Failure to do so will cause binding and
possible damage to the wire cable.
Spooling Out
Freespooling is generally the quickest and easiest way to spool out wire
cable. Before freespooling wire cable from the winch, “power out” enough
cable to remove any cable tension; then turn the winch selector knob to the
“freespool” position. Manually freespool out enough wire cable for the
winching operation.
• Wear heavy leather gloves when handling wire cable.
• Never winch with less than 5 wraps of wire cable around drum.
! WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
• Keep hands clear of wire cable, hook, and fairlead opening during
operation.
• Always use the hook strap to hold hook when spooling.
SPOOLING IN UNDER LOAD
• The wire cable must always spool onto the drum as indicated by the
drum rotation decal on the winch.
• Power in the wire cable evenly and tightly on the drum. This prevents
the outer wire wraps from drawing into the inner wraps, binding, and
damaging the wire cable.
• Avoid shock loads when spooling by using the control switch
intermittently to take up wire cable slack. Shock loads can momentarily
far exceed the winch and wire cable ratings.
• When powering in wire cable during side pull operations, the wire cable
will stack up at one end of the drum. Eventually, this stack will become
large enough to cause serious damage to the winch. To prevent damage,
line up pulls as straight ahead as possible and stop winching if the wire
cable comes close to the tie rods or mounting plate. To correct an uneven
stack, spool out that section of the rope and reposition it to the opposite
end of the drum which will free up space for continued winching.
SPOOLING IN UNDER NO LOAD
• Assisted: Have an assistant hold the hook with a cord or rag putting as
much constant tension on the wire cable as possible. While keeping
tension, the assistant should walk toward the winch while you operate
the control switch spooling in the wire cable. Release the switch when
the hook is a minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) from the fairlead o penin g. Spool
in the remainder for storage.
•
Unassisted: Arrange the wire cable to be spooled so it will not kink or
tangle when spooled. Be sure any wire cable on the drum is tightly and
evenly layered. Spool enough wire cable to complete the next full layer
on the drum. Tighten and straighten the layer. Repeat process until the
hook is a minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) from the fairlead. Spool in the
remainder for storage.
SPOOLING REMAINDER FOR STORAGE
Keep hands clear of wire cable, hook, and fairlead opening. Always use the
hook strap to hold hook when spooling under no load. Carefully power in the
remaining wire cable jogging the control switch to t ake up the last of the
slack. Secure the hook to a suitable anchor point near the winch. Be careful
not to over-tighten or damage may occur to the wire cable or anchor point.
! WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
• Stand clear of wire cable and load during operation.
• Be certain the anchor will withstand the load.
• Always use a choker chain, wire choker rope, or tree trunk protector on
the anchor.
• Take your time; sloppy rigging caus es accidents.
Always spool out as much wire cable as possible when preparing rigging.
Pick an anchor as far away as practical. This provides the winch with its
greatest pulling power.
Rigging a double line with a snatch block will reduce the load on the win ch
to half without significant loss of spooling speed.
Natural anchors such as trees, stumps, and rocks are the handiest when available. Attach the choker chain, wire choker rope, or tree trunk protector on
the anchor as low as possible to avoid pulling the anchor down. If several
possible anchors are available but they are not strong enough individually, it
may be practical to attach a wire or chain choker around several anchors to
form a strong collective anchor point.
1. Set the parking brake and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Remove both seats, center console, operator-side seat-base, and battery
cover; then disconnect the battery.
! WARNING
Always disconnect the negative battery cable first.
CAUTION
Remove the bottom tie screw securing the winch together or
damage to the cable/rope may occur. This should be retained for
winch service.
3. From the left-side of the vehicle, position the winch onto the bumper
plate with the cable positione d so it w ill spool from the bottom of the reel.
Loosely secure the winch (A) to the back side of the bumper plate with
the two M8 x 20 Cap Screws (C) and Lock Washers (D) into the two
upper bumper plate mounting holes. Do not tighten at this time.
